Full Title: 'He’s just absolutely ignoring the Constitution': Republican Representative says there's 'probably' enough votes in the House to impeach Obama

-- -- -- -- --

The House of Representatives probably does have the votes to Impeach, but I can pretty well guarantee you that the Senate does NOT have the votes to CONVICT!

The Kenyan has replaced the U.S. Constitution with a phone and a cheap pen made in China.

For those that don’t recall - Barletta was the Mayor [Hazelton] that threw all the illegals out of his town. Obviously, that’s how he got elected to his house seat.

Impeachment?? Give it six months til after the election. Obama is spiraling in, in ever tighter circles.

he 'probably' wouldn't survive an impeachment

Come on folks, impeachment ain't gon'a happen. No one in the legislative branch of government has the gonads to make it happen.

On the slime chance that impeachment were to happen, it would be Clinton all over again ... nothing would be accomplished, nothing. And the current dictator in chief would just go merrily on his way, thumbing his nose at the Constitution.

The only “man” standing between Obama and Impeachment of Obama is crybaby Speaker Boehner.

Remove Boehner now, and Obama get Impeached by Labor Day, 2014.

Make the case. Build public support. Make the Senate vote. Then make any “no” votes be millstones around their neck.

'Is the majority of the American people in favor of impeaching the president? I’m not sure about that.'

Therein lies the problem - the MSM spent 9 months hammering Nixon until the will to punish him materialized among the public. Today they're still covering the Kenyan Klowns arse, as they have been for five solid years.

The GOP will have to get creative and develop a strategy for educating the American people on the danger this man presents to their country and liberties.

But there I go again assuming the GOP wants to stop him.

By not impeaching Obama, every member of Congress is failing the Constitution and the Country.

I really think that there should be more impeachments of Presidents. They tend to get too big for their britches half the time anyway.

How many Generals would it take to arrest Obama for Dereliction of Duty or at the very least to relieve him of “command”... he is technically a military officer ie. Commander in Chief...

It wouldn’t stop him from being president, but it could place the command of the military under congress until he leaves office....

Impeachment proceedings and impeachment in the House might take up enough of his time that it might stop his unconstitutional executive orders.

'He’s just absolutely ignoring the Constitution, and ignoring the laws and ignoring the checks and balances,'

And what would you otherwise expect from a President who promised to "fundamentally transform" the United States?

Barack Obama's biggest claim to fame is not as "The First (half) Black President". Instead, he is the first "Anti-American President".

Ya .... impeachment is one thing .... but removal from office is a totally different animal altogether .... just ask Bill Clinton who was also impeached.

Contact your Rep. Keep it short, simple and clear: the crimes and incompetence are prolific (from “Fast & Furious” to abandoning Iraq), 2.5 years is too long to wait out his term, and he needs be removed from power - legally, rapidly.

The truth: Obama actually hopes the Republicans attempt to impeach him.

Apart from a smoking gun revealing the personal commission of an indisputably high crime, Obama will never be impeached, much less convicted. The Clinton impeachment process demonstrated that the procedure is not a legal but a political one and, to peel one more layer off the onion, political processes are conditioned by the culture.

The culture was conditioned by the media and the media was on a mission from God to install a liberal African-American in the White House. The media mounted a juggernaut during the election of 2008 to accomplish just that. In their rush neither the media nor the Democratic Party cared that they were not installing a liberal but in fact an African-American who was a communist. Skin pigment trumped everything.

Most of America was unaware of Obama's Communist affiliations in 2008 and remain unaware of them today. It was the job of the media to reveal those affiliations but they would not because they were committed to a "higher cause." The Republican opposition would not do so because they were thoroughly intimidated. Both institutions failed the nation.

The Republican failure has visited baleful consequences on the nation ever since. We conservatives on FreeRepublic were fully aware of Obama's radical biography and many of us declared in 2008 that the only way juggernaut could be stopped was to "morally destroy" Barack Obama by revealing him to be the communist he was and still is. Republican timidity resulted in two elections of Barack Obama and there is no reason to conclude that Republican timidity will not extend to occasions to impeach Barack Obama. Indeed, the Republicans have failed effectively to oppose even those policies most repugnant to Republican principles (assuming Rino establishment Republicans still have principles) because they continue to fear being branded racists merely for opposing Obama.

However much the media is becoming privately disenchanted with the man they put in the White House, especially with his personal deficiencies, they cannot and will not permit the presidency of the first African-American to be discredited. Obama is fully aware of this and knows that his best chance to save off a Republican sweep in November is to bait the Republicans into a battle with the media. Republicans are powerless to impeach Obama except in the most egregious circumstances and they know it.

When Senator McCain declined to expose Obama for in 2008, indeed when McCain affirmatively lauded candidate Obama as a fit person for the White House, he foreclosed all possibilities of exposing Obama for his radical, anti-constitutional, even anti-American convictions. After that, it became impossible to put the toothpaste back in the tube besides there was a general feeling that Obama's past was irrelevant, after all, the man has been elected.

This whole dismaying story is but one more example of Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

Unless the Republican Party can find both the courage and the means to break free of the threat of being branded racist, nothing will happen to Obama, certainly not impeachment, amnesty for millions and millions of illegal aliens will remain inevitable, conservatism will ultimately be swamped under a demographic and a propaganda juggernaut.

The motto above Nathan Bedford's avatar enjoins us: "attack, repeat, attack!"… Admiral Bull Halsey.

The Senate democrats will never vote to convict, no matter what Obama does. To think otherwise is idle wishful thinking. So impeachment would very likely be counterproductive and set him up as a "victim of republican racism."
