George Washington warned Americans about the evils of party.

When we let election strategies trump doing the right thing, we set party above principle and deal a mortal blow to the republic.

Rick Wilson makes some very good points, all of which should be acted on by the Republican leadership. We need a good plan of action to impeach Obama.

Is Boehner preparing a plan for impeachment? Will he ever? I doubt it. He’s another Trent Lott. Boehner is the problem and any plan should include GOP leadership that will be effective in dealing with the Dims, the media and working the process.

There’s nothing to gain by starting impeachment procedures before November. We should use the time to prepare the impeachment plan, which should be implemented win or lose this November.

Palin is going a good job prepping the battlefield. Go Sarah!

Well, then. What we need is a “...comprehensive, aggressive, well-thought-out communications and political action plan...”

Impeachment is a gross waste of time, effort, and finances.

This is my view of the situation:
1. has control of the Congress. If Harry doesn't want it, it doesn't get a vote. For example, look at the more than 14 Budgets that were approved by the House over a three year period, that never got a vote in the Senate.

2. The Attorney General has anesthetized the whole Administrative Legal arm. For example, when will he refer his Contempt of Congress or Lois Lerner's for prosecution? NEVER!

3. What has the president done since being elected? He has implemented every Democrap initiative and therefore he gets the credit and the blame. But the powers that gave him the laws (dictates) have done nothing to stop him because he is doing their wishes. That is why I call him, CZAR GOEBBELS. When was the last time you heard a president saturate the airways and the print media? He makes Joseph Goebbels look like an amateur. (For those who may not know of Joseph Goebbels, Google the name)
What did the CZAR do the day after the Benghazi Terrorist attack? Gave speeches in Las Vegas ( territory) and held fund raisers for the Democrap Party.
What did the CZAR do on his recent trip to Texas? Gave speeches, attended a meeting with some Texas officials , announced his blackmail message of 3.7 Billion Dollars to grant their requests for the National Guard to secure the border, and of cours attended fund raisers.

Until the Federal Government is restored to a Constitutionally defined one, there is little to be gained by starting any impeachment proceedings. It will only feed the pimps of the media and election industries!

That is just my opinion!

Why was the name of the Senate leader deleted (twice) in my post?

The devoted support of the MSM emboldened the Democrats to challenge Nixon (and GWB) on every front; the lack of media support paralyzes the Republicans. Until Americans tune out the MSM, this will be the case.

Forget impeachment. When we hit critical mass which is coming soon just skip on to forcible removal and incarceration.

Look at Thailand

It has been a great thing for their entire society . So far .
It immediately reigned in all the politicos and put the wing nuts in check .

However our situation is much more dire , much more than just domestic issues , as bad as many of those are . The future safety and security of the entire world depends on how we continue to engage the threat of radical islamist terrorism , and most of those in our current political structure and processes are utterly failing in this urgent mission . So I ask , how valuable is the status quo and business as usual when so much is at stake . How valid are the oaths that have been sworn to those that have proven to be so utterly undeserving of that respect and honor ? What future do we risk if we are too afraid to change the present ?

there was no ‘coup’ in 2008 ...I was on the front lines of that one . There was a corrupted media , there was a well organized Leftist entity known as the Democrat Party and there was a feckless old man who had forgotten how to fight , how to really fight . And there was one awesome ,courageous woman whom we as Americans failed to fully support when she was being savaged by the minions of evil .
Face it , our American political system is broken beyond repair . The Constitution needs to be updated and re-invigorated and there needs to be huge penalties for treason in office in this country . We have been reduced to little more than helpless sheep , powerless under the weight of the corruptors

Indeed, im really at a loss as to what sort of “plan” hes expecting?

Does he want a detailed case by case strategy of everything that could happen, and how to deal with it agreed upon by everyone?

I admit it would be nice but the mere existence and wide spread knowledge of such a plain would undermined the same plan as it would invariably be leaked to the press and their democratic allies who would promptly find and exploit its weaknesses.

Which of course is in itself a good plan if you wish to them to react in such a way, in presuit to anther plan.

As for the issue of impeachment you simply need to lay out a legal case and carry out a vote. Admittedly then the media will tear us apart for having the audacity to suggest that some of Obama’s actions were downright illegal and impeachable. No doubt the race card will be played once more as it always it is very much a stable in democratic politics particularly when someone not white is even tangentially involved. and of course no doubt all of this will be used by the democrat press to label the impeachment as racist without even addressing the legal case behind the impeachment.

You want a good plan to deal with that, im all ears, although i think it wise if you don’t share it with anyone but our leaders and spokespersons.

I will stick with my definition, just because it was bloodless, doesn't mean a coup was not accomplished.

I am and always have been a big Palin supporter.

When the campaign was going on it was easy enough to see that Obama was a Marxist and if elected he had no plan to leave, he may leave but, he does not plan to.

After the last election we must realize that one of two things are true.

1. We have became a Communist/Socialist nation or
2. Massive vote fraud is manipulatig our election process.

I’ll with suggestion #2

I think we all realize at this point that vote fraud was massive and it was the deciding factor in both elections..

If he were to resign, like Nixon, under the threat of impeachment, would Joe Biden or Valerie Jarrett take his place?

Who comes after Boner?

“Impeachment is a gross waste of time, effort, and finances. “

I agree with this.

I think our best strategy is to run against “government incompetence”.

Let voters tie democrats to government incompetence - the examples are legion by now.

Don’t run against any programs, any philosophy or any ideology - just focus on “Incompetence” and bring the latest examples.

I think that’s the only way to win with misguided and confused voters at this point.
