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.”

When they start reading FR on the floor of the Senate I will catalogue it as fact.

And I stand behind it 100%. Now show where I attacked a conservative. Conservatives do not vote for liberal Republicans or Rinos.

I guess a lot of things that exist really don’t then.

Having a Republican Congress in NC does help. Having a Dem Senator get sent packing does help.

What helps you?

Just who are the top conservatives in the Senate?

Given that we have 100 Senators, you can go one by one.

Please don’t start with Kay Hagan.

Horse/barn door. Should have worried about that issue last week. Today it really doesn’t matter. but thats not why you ask. You just want to duck responsibility for the RINOs that SOMEONE in America elected KNOWING that they PROMISED amnesty if given power. It was on all the websites and in all the papers/TV shows. You didn’t miss it.

Well, since this has yet again devolved into avoidance and excuses, I’ll point out that Lakeshark did not provide proof of my PDS, nor did anyone run to his assistance. I will also point out that the other accuser did not provide his own, but I do thank him for restating my case with my own words.

I’ll check back later.

I did and I voted Kay Hagan’s ass out.

You seem to portray that as a mistake. Well, it is what it is and your arguments fall flat on their face.

Have a good weekend.

RE Palin advising to vote for Romney in 2012, and Norm's and my and MANY OTHERS refusal:

Were you smarter than her?

Well, yeah, in that instance, yep. Hey, she can't be right all the time.

We're all watching you squirm Norm, and it's just delightful.....

LOL!!! {^) There are a LOT more FReepers who stand on the same side of the river as me and Norm, than you think, Lake. Just as there were in 2012, enough to cause Romney to lose.

I'm a big Palin fan. I was disappointed when she urged me to vote for an abomination. I understand why she advised it -- and only a few years earlier, I'd have agreed with her.

But I'm a little older than Palin.

But, but, but I’m a vile evil Palin hater!!!! how can you possibly deny it? Lake said it was so! Sure, he lied but still!

I would rather get what I want 70% of the time with a so-called Rino ...

Is anybody home, BizBroker? Knock knock, hellooooooo???

Did you do any due diligence at all -- any at all -- on Mitt Romney?

You weren't even getting five percent with Romney. In order to vote "against" Obama, you were voting FOR 95 percent of the entire Democrat leftist agenda.

You are rationalizing voting for a five-square functional DEMOCRAT on a wholly false premise. The argument has to stop there.

It would have been possible to pressure Mitt into doing things that no amount of American outrage could budge Barack on. That said, we cannot drive in the rearview mirror.

However, if they win the primary ... and they are functional Democrats, then my vote will go elsewhere, or be withheld altogether if there isn't a third option in a race between two functional Democrats. You can vote for tyranny if you want -- I will turn my back on that loser's game now.

I have done it your way, BizBroker, for more than 30 years. My loyal die-hard Republican mother did it your way, BizBroker, for SIXTY YEARS, until 2012, when she declined to vote FOR a functional amoral Democrat just because he won the Republican primary.

You are still slumbering, Biz. Some of us -- more and more of us -- are waking up.

That is speculation based on wishful thinking. Nothing more. One must acknowledge mistakes lest they repeat them. Many refuse to do that. Ergo they repeat them.
