There is no benefit of the doubt needed, the MAJORITY LEADER said she was voting to send the bill to committee in order to KILL it, and the same thing happened the previous year with impeachment for the VP.

The Democrats were looking at an election where the surge had started to work and they had an anti-surge candidate; they also had a base opposed to a war that they had not been able to stop.

They didn’t want an impeachment vote they knew their own caucus couldn’t afford to support.

Most republicans decided it would be fun to play politics with the vote. A few decided impeachment was too important to play politics with. I don’t fault those who wanted to bring it to a vote to kill it, but I’m not stupid enough to think those who voted to kill the bill wanted it to pass.

I know what the motives of the Democrats were and I know Kucinich does the impeachment thing all the time, to the embarrassment of his party, but I'm always curious why Republicans vote for these stupid Democrat bills. The outcome would have been the same without their votes so why vote with the enemy against their president?

I know Ron Paul loves anything that comes from Kucinich's tiny, demented brain and I assume he voted for it.
