Recently the Republican National Committee announced that up is down, black is white, and impeachment is good for Republicans (the threat of it will supposedly motivate them to vote in defense of Bush and Cheney). Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi instructed the Democrats in Congress to repeat the RNC's line. I've heard many of them do so, including some of the most progressive, including some who have signed onto H. Res. 635.

But I'll tell you who's not buying the hype: Paul Koretz, Bob McCloskey, Charles Coleman, Marcy Winograd, and Jeeni Criscenzo. Neither is Jesse Jackson, who wrote this brilliant column in the Chicago Sun Times: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/11074

Neither are these naked Californian students for impeachment: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/11069

Neither is the general public. Every scrap of polling evidence suggests that making the elections about impeachment will mean a landslide against the Republicans. Here's that evidence: http://www.davidswanson.org/?q=node/540
