Is Michael Medved a “concern troll”?

The White House is the epicentre, the tumor spreading the rot and cancer throughout the entire bureaucracy.

Impeach? No, arrests for treason would be better.

The only way Obama will be impeached is if the call to do so comes from Democrats. The GOP is politically incapable (and impeachment is a political process, not a legal one) of doing so without far-reaching damage to the party thanks to the race card.

If Biden plays the role of president-in-waiting during an impeachment crisis, he looks more plausible in 2016.

That didn't work out so well for Gerald Ford. But I can see Biden's first comments after Obama resigns, paraphrasing Ford, "Our long national nightmare has just begun."

I notice that the press has now started to use the word “progressive” so they can avoid somethng more accurate, such as “Marxist” or “Hardcore Socialist.”

And, of course, congressional Republicans are letting them get away with it.

What is it about congressional Republicans that induces this state of near idiocy by which the Left gets away with these word games?

Consonant with this trend, perhaps rather than the term “Republican” we should begin to subsitute “patsy” or “milquetoast.”

Yes, often. He also gets all bent out of shape when people mention Obama’s Marxist influences and leanings. I think he fashions himself to be a “Compassionate Conservatives”.

I have a way of playing a reverse race card on them -

publically state the impeachable offenses, often, loud, repeatedly,

but also state that, because of the president’s race,
it would be impossible to get a conviction,
and that even an impeachment vote in the House would cause civil unrest.

Just state it out in the open.

If Obastard’s approval rating goes down to the mid 20’s, then is when you can start talking impeachment.

I wish it weren't so, but Medved is right. In the meantime, we should organize and vote against anyone with a "D" after their name in any off-year election, right down to the school board and county coroner.

Once enough Democrats begin to recognize ObaMao as a toxic albatros around their necks, there is hope that they might actually do something about it rather than political posturing.

Dear Michael: you should stick to explaining Woody Allen’s movies because you obviously know nothing about impeachment proceedings. Everyone keeps dragging up the Clinton impeachment proceedings as the model. Why? Nobody ever accused the Clinton administration of massive oral sex encounters in the White House. Nobody ever accused loads of people breaking the law while Clinton lied. The Clinton impeachment was just about one guy, Clinton. What is becoming apparent in the Obama administration is an ORGANIZED effort by many administration members to engage in wrongdoing.
Clinton = 1 person and 1 incident
Obama = many people with many incidents

Michael, you appear to be a nice guy, but what part of “one is different than many” do you not understand?

I guess we should poll the jurors before every trial. If they say the accused is not guilty, why, I guess we shouldn’t have a trial.

A move to impeach will aid democrats and blow republican hopes for the 2014 election.

That is why democrats are having hot flashes just thinking about the possibility that republicans in the house might start a move for impeachment.

They know it would go nowhere in the democrat senate but would rally every Obama supporter to turn out for the 2014 election.

I have concerns about house democrats doing a “False Flag” scam on republicans to get an impeachment movement started and passed through the house.

House democrats could sucker republicans in by offering all the support needed to impeach in the house, knowing it would get no democrat support in the senate.

Read the article carefully through over and over if you have to. He is correct. With our side having only the House there is no chance that he will be removed from Office. Clinton was impeached by the House but in the Senate 45 rats and 10 RINOs voted not guilty.

Had he been removed from office Al Gore would have become president. I shudder at the thought.

There is nothing more that I would like to see then that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave impeached and removed from Office. As a matter of fact I want the entire administration impeached and removed from office

Justice is blind, Mr. Medved. Hopefully whatver adults still remain in Congress will soon realize this.

Regardless of damning evidence of dissembling and malfeasance that congressional committees could bring to light, there is no chance of driving the president from office

The stupidity driving that simple statement alone could fill volumes of discussion. You just can't fix stupid. This is America. We can do anything we have a mind to do.
