Pelosi's Stand on Impeachment is Killing the Democratic Party
For some, hope springs eternal. Is Nancy Pelosi "nutty and unprincipled?"
Whatever her reasons for keeping "impeachment off the table"... Dave Lindorff writes that the powerful Speaker of the House from San Francisco is killing her own political party.

Pelosi's Stand on Impeachment is Killing the Democratic Party
by Dave Lindorff
It's not just the Constitution that's suffering because of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's nutty and unprincipled "impeachment-off-the-table" position blocking any effort to impeach President Bush or Vice President Cheney for their many crimes and abuses of power.
Her position on impeachment is killing the Democratic Party too, by driving away not just progressived members of the party, but independents who voted for Democrats last November expecting some action in defense of the Constitution.
I see this anger welling up among progressives and independents everywhere I travel, as people say they've simply had it with the Democrats. The support of the party for a bill continuing funding for the war through September was terrible. The Democrats' rush to pass a bill granting Bush the authority to spy without a warrant on Americans, and to expand the power to spy domestically well beyond phones and internet to even include break-ins was a last straw.
