Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I agree with her that Pelosi should never have said it was "off the table". But they don't have the votes for it, and she needs to calm her ass down. The only thing she is going to accomplish is decimating the damned democratic party, and then we can look forward to what? Rudy? War in Iran? No health care.
No thanks. I've developed a bit of a problem with Cindy, and it's causing a split in the peace movement. Even within my own group in nyc, because I have listened to about enough pontificating bullshit, and have been shooting back some pretty steamy emails, and I don't mean the kind of steamy ones I send to Damo when I'm trying to steal him back from you.
Poor Cindy, if she gets any worse she will be turning republican...
I really feel sorry for her.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
I thought Cindy said she was going home to california and retiring from the peace movement.
Where's Superfreak when you need him? He would call her out on this lie:
"Democrats are liars and can't be trusted...they PROMISED to wait until September, to hear from General Patreaus, before talking about Iraq again!" -- Superfreak, June 2007
But if they don't have the votes, there is no getting around that. And haunting them is stupid, because the pay off comes from, haunting republicans till they flip their votes. That is where they smart money plays. Why haunt Conners? He votes to pull out, and it's vetoed by this president, and his republican whores go along and say yes master and vote for him. But they are turning, one by one. The ones who are up for reelection in 08, especially in any kind of borderline even slightly moderate states, they can be gotten to.
That could actually accomplish something.

You're savy about politics Darla.
You know when Pelosi said "its off the table", it literally means that its "off the table....for now". Otherwise, she would have said that they'll NEVER impeach bush. Its clever political theater. They were going for a win in 2006 based on iraq and corruption. Impeachment blather would have distracted from that.
Its never "off the table". It'll be back on the table if the ongoing investigations can uncover a smoking gun, that will enable majority support for impeachment.
I still wish she hadn't said it. But, I do not agree with Cindy running against her. Pelosi is not the problem. If it had been up to Nancy Pelosi, we wouldn't be in Iraq in the first place, I wish people like cindy would remember that. Her son would still be alive, if it had been up to Nancy Pelosi.
