If OdumBO is impeached then every EO he has written is null and void. If he just resigns then they stay on the books. Think about that.

I am a pretty fierce critic of the president myself, but let me be among the first to say that Republicans would be insane to follow Ms. Palin’s counsel.

To hell with the g**damn Republicans! Our republic is disintegrating and the Republicans are complicit.

To hell with every g**damned fool who worries about how Republicans would be perceived by the electorate if they stood up and did what was right for the sake of the country. Those sons o' bitches GOP should be removed from office as well.

People need to start to understand that it is not Obama who is destroying the Country, it is the Democrat Party. The Party nominated him, they support him at every turn and he is doing their bidding, Nixon resigned for doing much less because Republicans stepped forward.
The Democrat party will block Impeachment , they are the problem, we must concentrate on what the party is doing and not their spokesperson.

I don’t care if the impeachment fails. But a line has to be drawn and King Obama has gotten away with more than any other POTUS. The GOPe let this happen by not having the guts to stand against him. They created this monster.

...”2md Nitwit in a day to raise their ugly head from the WSJ. Some dingbat was on with Stuart Varney on Fox Business spouting the same nonsense as Kirstin Powers in regards to the Boarder crises. JUST LET THEM IN blah blah blah, doesn’t matter how many blah blah blah”...

I have never been able to stomach Kirstin Powers. Her body language and her practiced “smirk” have turned me off from from the very first time I saw her on FOX. She is not genuine and as of late, she is irrational, loud and very much a very committed leftist.

While the “Turkey” should be impeached there are practical problems; i.e. the party of treason with their Harry Reid runs the senate. The senate would never convict the “Turkey.” Thus, the Republicans would have egg on their face. Maybe if the Republicans take the senate and keep the house then the impeachment idea can be revisited.

NO! Ignore the calls like this to ignore Palin. Since the House won’t do it’s duty and stop funding his tyranny, then we the people MUST make our voices be heard. We’re sick of the lawlessness and want him taken out. It is the only thing that will stop Obama.

“got a call from the Rhino party yesterday asking for money. Wife told them we are NO LONGER supporting the rhino’s due to their support for odumbo and attack on each other. NO WAY will they get ANY of my money.”

I’ve done the same. I told them my donations will go to Tea Party interests only.

They’re complicit with the attempted destruction of America. We need to make sure it remains only an attempt!

Don’t blame Sarah for McCain, that was the Republican establishment too!

As for “President Biden”, if he came into power via impeachment, he’d be the ultimate lame duck for (most likely) well less than two years. Impeachment would do a lot to cripple the criminal 0 administration.

It is past time for action, IMO.

I have mixed feelings about impeaching Obama though there is ample reason to do so. First an impeachment at this time would not result in his removal from office as Senate Democrats, like with Clinton, would vote in lock step against impeaching Obama. Second the Obama controlled media would pillory the GOP and could cost the GOP from taking both houses of Congress this fall... a real win for Obama. I say wait until after the elections this fall. With Obama’s unpopularity dragging down the Democrats and the GOP taking both the House and Senate I could see an impeachment having a chance. I also believe that after a bloodbath at the polls in November Obama will become even more blatant in seizing power to bypass Congress and the American people will have had enough of him.

Let’s reach into HISTORY and see what public opinion was on impeaching President Richard Nixon in May of 1974

In early May 1974, just three months before his resignation, 49% told Gallup interviewers that the President’s actions were not serious enough “to warrant his being impeached and removed from the Presidency.”

Even near the end of Watergate, much of the public continued to show sympathy for the beleaguered President and a real reluctance to accept a forced resignation. 55% of respondents in a Harris poll of July 17 – 21, 1974 agreed that Nixon “is trying to do his best in an almost impossible job”.

And in another Harris poll completed just one week before Nixon resigned, only 47% thought Nixon would ultimately be impeached and removed from office, while 40% thought that would not happen.
