Politics At Its Finest

Here's a good one: What happens when a Democratic presidential candidate proposes a bill in the House of Representatives to impeach the current Republican Vice President of the United States?



The Republicans in the House support the bill, of course. That's what we would all expect, right? Yeah, right...



Who gets the blame for pursuing such a trivial matter, like impeachment? The Democrats who didn't vote for it.



Here's what makes politics interesting: you have one of the most liberal Democrats trying to pass a bill that will impeach, and if the charges are confirmed, will result in the removal of the Vice President. The Republicans support the bill, overwhelimingly I might add, to force the Democrats to debate the issue, effectively making fools out of themselves. Then you have the White House accusing Democrats of wasting time trying to pass such a bill (even though Republicans overwhelmingly support it) and saying that they need to spend more time on important issues, such as children's healthcare, an issue that our valiant Republican President, as of yet, has refused to support, no matter what the Democrats in the House come up with.



Ahh, tis but another sunny autumn day in the Capitol...
