Ron Paul votes for impeachment

[christagious]

I don't know if this has been put up on here yet, but I just read on Global Research that nine republicans voted to put forth the impeachment.

Congressman Kevin Brady (TX)
Congressman Wayne Gilchrest (MD)
Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC)
Representative Don Manzullo (IL)
U.S. Congressman Tim Murphy(PA)
Congressman Ron Paul (TX)
Congressman Dave Reichert (WA)
Congressman Christopher Shays (CT)
Representative Mike Turner (OH)

What? It passed? Holy crap. Now we just need to get it through committee. And lookey there, my douchebag Senator John Conyers is presiding over the committee.

are we all soon to see hearings or a committee...?

[Truth Warrior]

I don't often tend to "second-guess" Ron's decisions. ;)

Wow..interesting. tones

I thought impeachment was off of the table, and they were just going to do hearings ?

IIRC, Kucinich's original 35-articles of impeachment got shot down in committee.

Congressman Dave "Fourth" Reich-ert's yes vote on impeachment was to bring the bill to the floor in order to kill it for good.

See his own words on his House website here: http://reichert.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=97892

Says that they won't be able to vote on it.

"The catch: The committee can talk about anything deemed to be abuse of power by the president or the White House but not vote to impeach him, the first step toward removing him from office. "

I'm proud of Manzullo, didn't think he had it in him.

edit: sonofabitch, he also did so with the intent of killing it in committee. So there's at least 2 republicans with ulterior motives. Who wants to bet that Ron was the only honest "yes" vote here?

John Conyers is a U.S. Representative not a Senator.
