Debunking some recent Democrat spin(lies) and some food for thought.
William Delahunt attacks the House process and pleads that the members have not had enough time to see Ken Starr's data. Henry Hyde then pointed out: 21+ hours for Democrats and some on the Judiciary Committe didn't look, but 114 hours for Republicans and they all looked. What dedication these Democrats have!
Remember how the Democrats are so fond of quoting, " treason, bribery, and high crimes..." ? Well both bribery and perjury are felonies, punishable by five years in jail.
Jerrold Nadler, Robert " What's that white stuff in the corners of his mouth " Wexler, David Bonior, Peter Deutsch, Joe Kennedy, Maxine Waters and John Conyers recited their, Whitehouse ordered, spin lines in typical attack fashion. But, Rosa de Lauro took the prize, as she led a line of Democrats, who used the excuse of unanimous consent requests to slime Henry Hyde and Republicans with insults. Proof positive that Democrats have no shame!
Here's a good one. Democrats were arguing that the Impeachment Inquiry Bill was open ended and would go on for years. Well, the truth is, that it has to be renewed by the next Congress in January. That doesn't sound open eneded to me; sounds like 3 months?
The final vote was 258 to 176 for passage, with 31 Democrats voting in the affirmative. Maybe, there still is a little hope for them, after all.
