Your teeth must be jangling with cognitive dissonance. Not forty minutes ago you posted to me that
The next impeachment will be of a Republican President, conservative federal judge, or Republican cabinet member. A Democrat House will impeach and a Democrat Senate will convict. It will be a show trial to reinforce the media created perception Republicans are wealthy criminals.
So it's a dishonor for conservatives, but a pat hand, a laydown, a lead-pipe cinch for the Democrats?
Are you the kind of guy who, when someone mugs him in an alley, tells the fleeing gunman, "Stop! Come back! I have some more in my shoe!"?
That's what your position sounds like -- Noble suffering for noblesse oblige, politics ain't beanbag but we Republicans don't play like that, and all that RiNO "People Like Us" stuff.
Snap out of it. The country's going to hell. Pick up your musket and go to the town meeting. It's time to defend the Republic against its would-be destroyers.
“Snap out of it. The country’s going to hell. Pick up your musket and go to the town meeting. It’s time to defend the Republic against its would-be destroyers.”
I was simply stating the obvious. The Republicans have no stomach for impeachment and conviction. They went part way with Clinton and then bailed in the Senate. They couldn’t even muster the courage to investigate and charge Clinton with selling state secrets to the Chicoms for campaign contributions. As long as Democrat presidents have nothing to fear they will continue to walk all over the Constitution.
I was also pointing out what you are stating. The Democrats will do anything. They don’t care about the Constitution and will twist it to server their ends. I have no doubt as soon as they can get the goods on a prominent Republican politician, while controlling both houses of Congress, they will impeach and convict. They know the Republicans won’t fight back. History shows Republicans will ultimately back down when challenged and the fight gets tough.
If the Republican House had leadership and courage it would have already impeached Holder and Napolitano, if not Obama himself. All they’ve done is vote to hold Holder in contempt. He laughed in their faces. Now what are they going to do — nothing. Don’t be angry with me, get angry at Boehner, he controls the House agenda.
I also made the point is Republicans should impeach for real offenses, not impeach to make a political statement. There are real impeachable offenses in play today. So get on with it. What Republican is going to call for impeachment and start the process? Show me the leadership and I will follow. I’ve conveyed my point of view to my Republican representative, have you? Mine is doing nothing, what about yours?
Finally, with respect to respecting the meaning of the Constitution I’m serious. If conservatives win are your saying we, just like the Dems, should rule with no rules? If so why are we any better?
