IMPEACHMENT GOES MAINSTREAM
Breitbart ^ | November 14, 2014 | By Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/14/2014 12:50:54 PM PST by Jim Robinson

In July, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote a widely-publicized op-ed for Breitbart News. “Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president,” she wrote. “Without borders, there is no nation. Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.” Then, she dropped the bomb: “It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”

Believe it or not, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had actually suggested impeachment even earlier, this time over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap, in which the Obama administration freed five top-level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the alleged deserter. He stated, “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.” And Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said in March that Obama could be up for impeachment if he continued his “unconstitutional approaches” to immigration reform and Obamacare.

But it was Palin’s comments that drove ire. At the time, Palin’s critics leapt on the comments to suggest that Republicans more broadly were planning impeachment; House Speaker John Boehner immediately fired back, stating that he disagreed with Palin on impeachment.

There were some who defended Palin’s position – Mark Levin explained, “our country is being destroyed….Here’s the dead truth. Obama should be impeached, but he won’t be impeached. Obama should be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate, but he won’t be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate. Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitution.”

Precisely, and Biden has buddies in the Senate.

I am hoping that Biden would “call in his markers” (so to speak) and thusly, round-up the sufficient number of Senate votes to impeach the b#stard.

It’s Biden’s best and likely “only” chance to be POTUS.

It was a mistake for Reagan. And since he was not a “pure” conservative should we have voted for him Norm?

I made no accusations. I presented facts and questions. None of which you have addressed. We all know why you are refusing to address them or answer the questions. You can say it, c’mon Normie..we all know.

Here it is again, I will post them until they are addressed;

“When you respond, try to refute what I have said, no more strawman BS from you. That is all I or anyone else ever gets from you. Answer the following; A senate race in N.H. is taking place. The Republican is a Rino according to you. Should the citizens of that state who are conservatives not vote, or vote for the dem to “teach the GOP a lesson?” When the dem wins, is the state and the country better off? Why was a ‘Rino” who will agree with us 70% of the time not good enough? We all know a true conservative will not win there in this day and age, with the way things are. So, how does taking your advice or using your strategy benefit anyone but the dems?

Rinos who prove to be empowering dems and not willing to work with conservatives should be primaried. However, if they win the primary, my previous questions stand.”

Do you mean burn them down more? Have you seen our major cities? Fly over Detroit and it looks like Dresden after WWII. Drive through Philadelphia and count the burned out and boarded up houses and businesses. Chicago, any city in NJ, Oakland, on and on. Atlanta hasn’t looked that bad since Sherman destroyed it.

Let the mobs burn their own homes down; it’s like Sunnis vs. Shias. Meanwhile, we sit on the sidelines and let them have at it with each other.

You don’t really argue anything. You just spout off about Democrats losing majority caucus and say its all wrong.

Well a lesson junior, with the majority we can finally stop a dictator that demands to be stopped.

With your thinking we can get it back after we have suffered
numerous defeats in Washington.

I take it you have never carried a football in your life.

Yet more babble. Show one instance of me demanding purity ever.

More for you to avoid.

the proof are your previous posts about your so-called principles. The ones where you think you are superior to the rest of us. You know what you posted...keep stalling. We know why you refuse to answer. Again;

“When you respond, try to refute what I have said, no more strawman BS from you. That is all I or anyone else ever gets from you. Answer the following; A senate race in N.H. is taking place. The Republican is a Rino according to you.

Good for you,fatima.

Have been fighting the good fight against abortion for over 25 years.Have seen it all.

We must never tire of doing good.

Otherwise, evil triumphs.

Recall the story about the man walking along the seashore, where a number off starfish have washed ashore.

He picks one up and throws it back in the ocean.

His friend says increduously, that with all of these washed up and dying starfish, what difference does it make to throw a single starfish back into the water?

And the first man thinks, then replies “Well, it made a difference to that one.”

I like to hope that we have made a difference to a few little ones.

Biden will be forced into your scenario by the plantation masters to salvage what they can.

You don’t know any of this. Nothing is off the table.

You can spout off about this report or that report but Obama is going to be under Republican control in 6 weeks.

Let this situation play instead of just telling us how grand it would be if the Democrats won.

One of your posts from 11-11
We all helped create this mess. Some of us fessed up to our part. I did. I voted for McCain to get Palin and it was a mistake. I learned. I only empowered the GOP to run/elect more RINO/Liberals and Romney, and another election loss was the result. In his followup senate run, he did not get my vote.

That’s all there is to it. Admit we screwed up and change our ways. But no one will ever respect or trust someone that refuses to admit they were wrong and keep being wrong. Such people may as well vote Democrat and avoid the middleman Republican.

Another from 11-11
Keep electing your RINOs no matter what folks! They are better than Democrats! Really!

I refuse to do any more of your legwork. You know what you have posted.

And you ping me when you decide to debate the facts and questions, instead of using strawman arguments and trying to obfuscate to get out of what you know will destroy your ignorant position.
