Posted on another, similar thread:

Flipping through channels the other night, there was a discussion on CNN about zero and impeachment.

The graphic in the background had a huge picture of zero next to nixon.

I guess that they didn’t get the memo that nixon was not impeached. Intentionally deceiving, imo.

There should have been a picture of bjclinton next to zero.

Been saying that all along. But they just can’t help themselves and won’t shut up about it. They are the best GOTV ever for Dims. And if they do it after Nov, welcome to the 2016 Dim flood.

It is a fools errand but may be too late in any event.

The only people talking about impeachment are Democrats

If the word Impeach is spoken , there will be a Rino Stampede to hide behind Obama

"Why Republicans Should Avoid the Temptation to Impeach"

Because to do so would require ba!!s and brains the Pubbies don't have, and they'd only bungle the whole thing and make matters worse?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

First off, what freaking Republicans are talking about impeachment? Not many if any. This talk of impeachment is, if anything, a democrat attempt to relive the glory days (in their minds at least) of the Clinton impeachment.

Having said that, there is a big difference between lurid sex accusations and, amongst other things, using the IRS to destroy the liberty of the American People.

Obama is a usurper. He needs rto be impeached. Why all the RINO double think? Ashhaoles seem to be the Republican order of the day.

So what should the GOP response be if Obama, unconstitutionally, legalizes 6 million illegal aliens giving them work permits, SSNs, and the ability to travel freely in and out of the country?

The dem0crats want the ePubs to try impeachment so badly they're gagging for it. Hopefully, the emorons can see through the left's "Let's you and him fight and I'll hold your coat" gambit.

Wait until he’s out of office and indict him.

'Wait until he’s out of office and indict him.'

Excellent suggestion. Hopefully the next POTUS doesn't blanket pardon him.

Why? Because the other guys control the senate, dum dum. Even if the GOP wins the senate this year, they certainly won't have the 2/3 majority it takes to convict. Total waste of time, money, and effort for no gain whatsoever!! Rediculous!!

unfortunately you are correct. impeachment proceedings would be a waste of resources as much as i would like to see the POSOTUS in jail.

Nah, there’s a contingent around here that has beating the drum about it for quite a while.

Yeah but we are nobodies. But there are major Democrat players who talk about impeachment.

Or maybe the Dems realize that Obama’s legalization of 6 million lawbreakers will invite impeachment so they make sure they get the Reps on record saying they will not impeach him. Obama gets what he wants with no consequences by the Reps.
