The trick will be to impeach Obama while appearing not to do so.
The crony establishment Senate is petrified they’d have to vote on an impeachment against a political mob boss charged with crimes much, MUCH worse than a cigar and a blowjob, let alone stealing 20 minutes of audio.
Not impeaching over the IRS fiasco alone would hang a string of garlic over the Senate’s “Tweed Ring” vampire neck for at least the next 30 years. This would upset the corrupt “apple cart” of the beltway syndicate for a long, LONG time.
Personally I do not think that the time the House and the Senate spent on Impeaching and Trying Bill Clinton were wasted.
To me when they were occupied with Clinton they were not doing the more destructive things they usually do.
And there was the added benefit that quite a number of citizens got a lesson in how the government is supposed to work rather than how it has come to dysfunction.

The first thing we should note about Rensin’s narrative of his long-term tumultuous relationship with his polyamorous girlfriend Lou is how un-polyamorous the whole relationship appears. There is little to the actual relationship that would seem to be meaningfully impacted by the very definitions of polyamory Rensin gives, of being able to pursue relationships with multiple people at the same time. Sure he mentions the time he and Lou go out with other people, sleep with others, and engage in non-monogamous activities that Rensin thinks defines polyamory. However, his narrative of his relationship with Lou is characterized more by their uneasy reliance and, as Rensin dubs it, co-dependency on each other. Fragile egos lead to fights, fights lead to break ups that don’t last, cohabitation continues more out of habit than desire, miscommunications occur on both sides. On the one hand these details support Rensin’s conclusion that there is nothing abnormal about being polyamorous; polyamory is not an ideal condition that will save you from making terrible choices in your choice of partners or relationships in other words.
How should we square Rensin’s personal narrative then with his emphasis that polyamory, in the long term, is better than monogamy? Rensin’s beef with monogamy is that it is often unrealistic and provides fantastical narratives for people that they cannot possibly live up to. Rensin even sometimes seems to believe that his relationship’s failure stems from not letting go of monogamous ideals enough, of still viewing fighting and riled emotions as signs of care for another person. Perhaps this is true of Rensin’s relationship – though it is difficult to fully judge because we only have Rensin’s words to take on this and the other important player, Lou, shifts from being a real, independent person to another character in his story. By the end of this personal narrative Rensin is indeed single but still polyamorous and so with each new relationship has to negotiate the waters of “coming out” as polyamorous to all the monogamous others that, for Rensin, dominate the world. The ending is hardly satisfactory, and for all his apparent disclosures there is still an element of smugness to Rensin’s account, that he has figured something out that the rest of us mortals are ignorant of, even though he claims to have already overcome such zero-sum thinking.

If Hairy Reid can call Clarence Thomas a white man, we can call Juan McCain a yellow Democrat.
And if Juan thinks impeachment’s a bad idea, it must be a great idea.
I know a lot here say, “ Bad idea, he won’t be removed.”
Well, we don’t know that for certain, and impeachment by itself might have a prophylactic or salutary effect on President Narcissus.
And it’s not like the Congress is busy doing anything else ...

Ain't he cool (feet on the table)
God save the Queen? I didn’t say it.
No.
How dare you ask! It is admirable if the sex of an individual can’t be determined. Marriage arguments and restroom designations—BAH!
We’re an anachronism.
There aren’t any martyrs in this, Geron. Martyrdom is usually noble. All I see are cowards & corrupt pieces of crap. Liars.
(I agree with you about flushing out the RINOs. But please don’t call them martyrs.)
Give the Cons a break! They're stuffing their pockets with both hands as fast as they can man.
Putting aside the Constitution dismissing savagery of this president, del-igitimization is TACTIC ONE in the Lefts playbook. They don't argue the merits of anything EVER;
Or somewhere in between?
