Republican bulldog Rep. Trey Gowdy put the kibosh on the idea of impeaching President Obama during a nationally television Fox News interview, telling his broadcast audience that booting the commander-in-chief from his office would open the doors to something even worse —the ascension of Vice President Joseph R. Biden.
The Biden-is-insurance joke has been around since 2008, and people saw it as less of a joke back then than they do now, I think. It really does seem like the only way Obama could become more unhinged is if Democrats still controlled both houses of Congress.
I'm not sure if Gowdy was trying to be funny or serious. Honestly I think we are getting to the point where Biden is probably preferable to Obama.
I guess the million-dollar question is: At what point does stupid buffoon become a better bet than treasonous tyrant? Make no mistake, O's kool-aid drinkers can spin his executive order on immigration as flexing his leadership muscle, but that's not what it is and impeachment may be the only remedy now.
Speaking of "not-sure-if-being-funny-or-serious."
No reason to vote on impeachment in the House, but...
there’s every reason to REPEATEDLY read articles of impeachment on the floor,
and close by stating that political correctness prevents Congress from actual impeachment.
Make this an indictment of PC>
Biden has always been preferable. Biden is an incompetent buffoon, Obama is skilled at the destruction of liberty.
I agree. Say what you will about Uncle Joe but at least he is a capitalist.
Trey Gowdy! I remember him.
Just because the alternative is unpalatable is no reason to ignore the reality of the crime.
Biden would be irrelevant for what, a year?
And then he would be gone.
But it won’t go that far - Senate won’t convict.
But in the meantime, the impeachment would tie Hussein’s hands before he could wreak havoc.
At least he’s an American, as misguided as he may be. I’d much rather deal with Biden than the unworthy POS currently occupying the oval office.
Stupid is always preferable to a tyrant. Stupid can be dealt with without weaponry.
Hold on now! Shouldn’t Valerie be impeached? She’s the one making all the awful decisions.
Don’t impeach. Just deport all illegals-solved.
Hell, you don't even need Reid or Pelosi for that, if you can find enough moderates on your own, but, let's face it, the heads of the party hold considerable sway ... if you can cut them loose from the 0bama anchor.
If 0bama is impeached and convicted, biden will be as docile as a baby lamb. He won’t want to be the next in line to be impeached.
Well, would you rather be eaten by a wolf or a chihuahua? Biden’s an idiot, probably the dumbest man to ever be vice president, yes he’s even dumber than Al Gore. But is Biden evil and does he hate America?
Obama is evil and he does hate America. He’s made that plain. The choice is a no-brainer. Obama needs to go. The country may not survive another two years of this malevolent nincompoop.
Also, I think Biden would fall in behind a GOP congress.
Probably? We were at that point Jan. 2009.
Impeach his illegal alien ass already.
One 15 min sanity hearing will dispatch Old Joe off the playgrounds.
Plus Hillary would then have to run against a sitting President. She would be PISSED.
