CNN just announced that the Dems won the House—and the crowd at Spitfire went nuts. The SECB has just one thing to say: ITMFA.

hahaha. The day they vote to impeach will be the day that they will call for the actual, in real life end to the war in Iraq.

How do you all feel anyway? You voted for Cantwell, I assume? Do you feel good about casting your vote for people who fund the war? For people who stand by and do not call for an end to killing 600,000 civilians in Iraq. You don't need a majority in Congress to speak out. Now that Democrats have a majority, and NO MANDATE to end the war (cause you all voted for them even though they supported it) you think they are going to impeach??!!!

With all due respect, what the point of ITMFA if:

a. You don't have 60 votes in the Senate.

and

b. Even if you did have 60, you-know-who becomes President.

I understand the feeling(s) behind ITMFA, but given a & b, how is it going fix anything? Pelosi has taken it off the table (although I'm sure Conyers will disagree) for a reason.

And the Patriot Act, the renewal of the Patriot Act, and the expansion of the Patriot Act. Thanks a bunch, Maria!
