Impeachment is a classic "red herring". [View All]

[Raven]

"Red herring is a metaphor for a diversion or distraction from an original objective. An example can be found in academic examinations, particularly in mathematics and physical sciences. In some questions, information may be provided which is not necessary to solve the given problem. The presence of extraneous data often causes those taking the exam to spend too much time on the question, reducing the time given to other problems and potentially lowering the resulting score. Red herrings are frequently used in literature and cinema mysteries, where a character is presented to make the reader/viewer believe he/she is the perpetrator, when in reality it is someone far less suspect."

A red herring was used in England to throw the hounds off the trail of a fox, or so it is said.

Now we've got one of our own, Cindy S., sitting in in Conyers' office and enormous amounts of energy being devoted to the Impeachment movement and in the meantime, Bush lackies refuse to come befor Congress, Executive Orders eviserating our rights and freedoms being issued almost on a weekly basis and a war that rages on.

The House and the Senate have the foxes on the run, let's stay with the chase, corner them and by doing that we'll trap the President and his gang.

I elected these Dems to bring us out of this morass. It is too early for me to make a judgment as to whether they will be successful but I voted for them because I trust their judgment. It's been just a little over 6 months. I'm willing to give them some more time and if they say that, in their judgment Impeachment is not the wise way to go now, I will accept that...for now.
