Obama doesn’t have to do anything except talk about amnesty...with a wink and a nod. It’s been 6 years....still talking....

Not really enough time before now and Election Day to even organize an impeachment. This must be the best bad idea they have.

after these elections they better just tear the purse strings out of his hands. emasculate him. its not as if he’s not alreaady emasculated in other ways already.

Actually I take this as a positive sign. This is the ultimate "hail Mary pass" and shows just how desperate they are and how bad their internal polling really is that this is all they are left with three months before the election.

In fact the entire "impeachment helps the democrats" theory itself is on rather dubious grounds. The political experts are looking to the 1998 midterms when the Republicans impeached Clinton over the Lewinsky scandal and then lost a few seats in the midterms even though most analysts thought they would gain seats. What the experts fail to consider is that in 1998 impeachment wasn't some vague, distant possibility, impeachment hearings where actually taking place during the campaign. Also the country was in the middle of the dot.com boom and at relative peace, and most felt the country was headed in the right direction. Last, Clinton for all his personal flaws held near 60% job approval ratings. Advantages, Obama and the democrats could only wistfully dream about today...

Because he’s facing a disastrous midterm election. An executive order so sweeping and egregiously lawless would be impeachment bait. It would undoubtedly provoke a constitutional crisis and stir impeachment talk — and perhaps even the beginning of proceedings — thus scrambling the electoral deck. As in 1998, it would likely backfire against the GOP and save Democrats from an otherwise certain sixth-year midterm shellacking.

I am not so sure that this will backfire on the GOP if impeachment proceedings are initiated. The American people don't want 6 million illegal aliens given work permits, SSNs, and the ability to travel freely in and out of the country. This is not about a "sex scandal" but the failure to enforce our laws.

This “do nothing” congress has passed over 300 bills that sit on Harry Reid’s desk.

So, how is Obama gonna get his “third term”? Through the illegal invasion issue or Iraq? Or maybe an ebola outbreak?

He may hold off (though I doubt it but wouldn’t be surprised). Impeach or not impeach doesn’t matter that much now as the GOP has already blundered into that windmill and ensured great fundraising and GOTV for the Dims.

[pfflier]

OK this is simple strategy.

Attempts at impeachment, including talking about it, before the midterms are pointless when reid is in control of the senate.

After the midterms when the senate is potentially in Republican hands, maybe with an unbeatable majority THEN you do the deed and get this commie a$$hat out of office..
