Lack of political strategy got us here. Impeach zero and your prolong the agony.

If Obama legalizes the status of 6 million illegal aliens providing them with work permits, SSNs, and the ability to travel freely from and to the US, then what should the GOP reaction be? Amnesty is forever. The Heritage Foundation estimated that an amnesty will cost $6.3 trillion assuming there are 12 million illegal aliens.

This is no longer a partisan issue. It is a constitutional crisis.

Why can't we just go after him on the 20 scandals we already have!! Force him to explain himself on every scandal there is.Keep bringing people up in front of Congress to talk with Gowdy!

Obama isn't running again. Obama ridicules the Reps. There are no consequences for his lawlessness. Congress is powerless. Boehner has ruled out impeachment.

When we get the senate we can force him to veto bill after bill after bill. Sooner or later he will be forced to accept some of the blame for his intransigence. Do it enough and we win in 2016 and they lose. Play stupid politics and things go on as they have.

I am not so sure the Reps will gain control of the Senate. The Dems have plenty of money and they are not above voter fraud. Obama is in the process of moving attention away from his scandals and on to issues like immigration, which will be the big issue in the midterms, especially if Obama passes his huge amnesty. In a number of states, the legalization of marijuana has been placed on the ballot to get more young voters out to the polls.

Unless zero turns white there is no way to legally stop this clown until 2016. We know it and they know it so the smartest guy will come out on to win 2016 I prefer it was us.

The Reps always find reasons why to postpone confrontations with Obama. They would rather just pass toothless, symbolic votes than take real action. If the Reps let Obama get away with the legalization of 6 million lawbreakers, the Republic is already lost.

Here is a great article that describes what is at stake:Obama’s Impeachment Game

Last week when the impeachment talk really began his poll numbers dropped 6%. Where is the rallying around him by his base? They are fatigued too and seeing an incompetent loser. Impeachment may make his numbers pancake.

There are no consequences for his lawlessness.

I hear what you are saying, but perhaps there are consequences.

One of these is the American people turning against him AND his party. That's not to say that a significant portion of Romney's 47% won't stop voting for more handouts, but all it takes to change the political landscape is a few percentage points downward for the dems. We'll know more in November, but I am hopeful.

His acts of lawlessness are getting harder and harder to defend, and this time I do believe the average American is totally against amnesty and bringing all these people here. Just look at how many dems are running away from him and don't want him campaigning on their behalf.

So perhaps due to his over-reach, the democrats will suffer huge defeats and bring about his demise, politically.

I don't know. There is a huge reckoning that needs to take place with the GOPe. Perhaps it will have to come AFTER Obamaism/democratic values are thoroughly defeated.

I read it but Douthat never says what to do and wisely so. What to do was decided in 2012 and we lost again.

You can't lose over and over and over and not get consequences. These are the consequences of what we keep ignoring, political strategy! Why don't you see that? Everything this regime does is politically inspired and we seldom counter any of it.

Ignore the politics and we keep on losing.

I don't disagree with anything you have claimed. Legalize six million illegals would be a disaster. But, through executive action he can get away with it. We lost this battle in 2012 with Mitt not now! There is little we can do to stop it now.

The only thing that stops these commie-clowns is super low poll numbers that jeopardize the entire party. We need to strive for that. Leave the half black Manchurian alone or suffer the consequences of being race carded over and over and over. We can tear apart his administration at almost every level which as you say he's not running again.That's much smarter than going after him. their biggest nightmare is that his polls will sink so far he will become irrelevant and taek the party with him. we can help that along if we play smart.

Go for impeachment and "maybe" it passes the House but never the Senate. The rinos will sabotage us every time. I don't think we can self destruct fast enough or they have enough fraud money to stop us this time.

I agree with you on impeachment...never mind conviction.

The American people are disgusted with the illegal invasion, coupled with domestic joblessness, and now, the aforementioned wave of Ebola laden Africans coming in for some reason.

an amnesty will cost $6.3 trillion assuming there are 12 million illegal aliens.

12 million? For every one we know about, there are probably 9 more that we don't....try 120 million.

A while back I was wondering how the hell the US population went from a static 240 million, to way over 300 million inside of a decade.

Thanks for the link, kabar, it’s a good read and I agree with it. Maybe that’s why I liked it.

It seems to me the only thing the GOP will be able to do if the Senate changes to Republican control with this years election, is spending restrictions. Cutting the money is the only remedy I know of constitutionally that can be used next year to stop 0.

Impeachment would but the GOP cannot do it unless there are Democrats on board and the media agrees.
