Pelosi, Another Coward

In a classic example in why I think the Democrats are almost as worthless as the Republicans, Nancy Pelosi has said that if the Democrats win a majority in the House, she would not move to impeach Bush according to this article.

This is typical of the Democrats playing not to lose style of politics that has worked so well for them since 1994. With Bush getting approval from a whopping 29% of the people and abuses running rampant, Pelosi takes impeachment off the table. Of course, if the Democrats win a majority and Bush continues to tank, they could very well exhibit that other Democratic trait and flip-flop.

None of this matters to the Republicans. While Rove is facing imminent indictment in the Valerie Plame case, he has already set-up a campaign strategy that will try to scare the Republican base in turning out by saying impeachment will be a Democrat priority. Democratic stupidity will probably lead to Republican control of Congress when the dust settles. Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans do generally have a message and a plan. Of course, the bad thing about the Republican's plan is that it generally involves enriching the elite at the expense of everyone else and using war as the only diplomatic tool at their disposal.
