“this is what the people want”
Not so sure about that..40% of the country are yellow dog dems who will NEVER change their minds. I will guess that half the pubs don't want to rock the boat, either. Certainly ALL of the establishment GOPers feel that way.
Don't confuse their limp bleating for anything meaningful. You and I want something to happen because the rape of the Constitution cries out for it, but how many in the country really feel that way? 15%?
I have stopped associating with libs as friends so my view is skewed..EVERYONE I talk to is in a rage.

Make sure you have the votes in the Senate too.

This is why something is going to happen before November, (he plans on legalizing illegals) or something already happened, i.e., voting -wise. (electronic voting machines are successfully under the control of democrats)

“Losing” the IRS emails should be enough to do it in the real world. Nixon went down for way less than that.

Wait until January, and if you take the Senate go for it. If the Rats complain, invoke the Reid Rule.

Actually you don't need the Reid rule. If the house chooses to impeach, the Senate has to hear the impeachment. But I agree with waiting until January and not screwing up November. We have to remember that Clinton's popularity rose after impeachment.

You are 100% correct. Right now, Obama is seen as a lightweight, and a bumbler. Even most blacks would privately agree with that.

But if Obama is impeached but not convicted, all of that would change. Obama would be seen as a sympathetic victim, not as a bumbler. Much the same thing happened with Clinton. Impeachment turned him from a lecher into the sympathetic victim of Kenneth Starr.

Do not impeach in the House unless you can convict in the Senate. Wait until a smoking gun appears, something that will disturb even senate democrats.

Since they are a bunch of snivelling cowards . . . don’t look for them to defend us from enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC any more than Moe-bama-hamad.

Agree. We're going to have to have more Dems with us if impeachment is a real possibility.

Otherwise, Obama comes out more popular just like Bill Clinton. And that would be a NIGHTMARE.

Been there for >20 yrs. My bit of tax protest, started when our state raised taxes on my turn-favorite beer.

Plus homebrew tastes a lot better. No more factory swill.

Impeachment is only done by the House, similar to an arrest by a policemen.

No way 2/3 of the Senate would find him guilty.

You are right there. But just to have the charges brought against him on impeachment in the House would be a good way to get the message out to more of the uninformed Americans than what the MSM is doing now. It might be that the full hearings would last until the end of November. If we get the Senate they the impeachment would be presented to the Senate by a Republican speaker and a vote must be taken. Might lose here but at least the American people would finally realize that all Democrats are really communists.

Right. And that's why I indicated we don't have the 2/3 Senate to find him guilty, because that's where the trial takes place.

I'm in favor of impeachment after the election. If we can't take control of the Legislative Branch this year we are doomed.

The Senate can’t do anything unless the House Impeaches first.

No Impeachment, no chance of removal.

Similar to arrest first, trial later.

No arrest, no chance for a trial.

Get all the marbles in the bag and get this started. This clown is destroying this country to the point of no return.
