Take a chill pill. I said nothing at all about going along with anything.

I merely pointed out that all impeachment will do is raise Obama’s approval rating, just as it did for Bill Clinton. That is how bad things have gotten in this upside-down world we live in.

I share your pain, and yes of course I want the guilty punished.

The Senate would not punish Bill Clinton when he was impeached, and they sure as heck will never, ever punish Obama if he is impeached.

I wish that were not true, but it is.

Obama will not be impeached no matter what he did, deal with it.

OTOH we need to use the R Emmanuel dictum. Never let a crisis go to waste.

Keep the investigations going and hang the corruption around the necks of the rats, use it to take the Senate and pick up more House seats.

Run a campaign against the IRS, select a candidate like R Paul or T Cruz who will make getting rid of the IRS a front and center issue for the campaign.

Get a Flat Tax and watch the economy boom, also provides and incentive to cut government and lower rates.

We have 100,000 IRS employees that is about 90,000 too many.

The Fair Tax would be nice, but I see no way to repeal the 16th Amendment. Just imagine if the Fair tax had been in place. I know that Obama and the rats would have called for a ‘millionaire’ income tax to pay for Obamacare in the interest of ‘fairness, and he would have gotten it through the rat congress of 2009-2010.

I think comparing this type of impeachment to what happened with Clinton is comparing apples to oranges -they aren’t the same at all.

The crimes Obama has committed are huge orders of magnitude more serious than anything Bill Clinton did(at least regarding national security, treasonous actions toward our foreign service and military, violation of the U.S. Constitution, breaking of federal laws, etc.)

I dont think it would raise Obama’s approval, as these are not personal wrongs (yes, half our country are so decadent they didn’t really care about what Clinton did), but are crimes that strike at the very core of our liberty and constitutional protections. If we shy away because we are afraid of political fallout, we may lose the right to ever hold any elected official accountable again. They are thumbing their nose at us and just circling the wagons, promoting Susan Rice to NS Advisor, the IRS woman to be over the IRS portion of Obamacare, and others to higher positions of power- consolidating their power and rewarding those that lie and do wrong for them.. We may very well lose the chance to have free elections again if we dont act to prosecute these crimes now.

Couldn’t we let the American people decide? How will people learn about it if we dont press onward. I think all this stuff needs to see the light of day.

We’ve got to stand up to them NOW, not put it off. And maybe if we actually start prosecutions, the media will be forced to report it, and if enough people “get it” we might actually gain seats in the Senate, enough to convict.
