Our founding philosophers made a great system of checks and balances. Yes, Obama should be impeached. No, he can’t be.
Our founders didn’t seem to think that eventually a whole party would be complicit in the destruction of what they so thoughtfully designed.
I don’t like the article, but I do agree. Obama should be impeached but it won’t be successful and it will detract from the GOP message this election.
The GOP did have a plan and did try and implement it. The plan was to marginalize the Tea Party ... and now they have nothing. They failed at marginalizing the Tea Party mainly because the Tea Party represents our founders thoughts and designs. The Tea Party *IS* the GOP and all those Rino’s are just the conservative wing of the Progressive party.
We will not take the Senate. We can’t. We have too many lose cannons in the party, and yes, we do have wimps in leadership positions.
No it is a constitutional duty politics should play no part. Clinton was impeached because he broke the law violated his oath. It should be the same with 0 if he violated his oath he should be impeached. House must do their duty regardless of the political consequences.
And yet the public is clamoring for the border to be under control but nothing happens.
We live in a republic. That means this so called august, bicameral body known as Congress has a duty to do what is right and not just because a mob tells them to do it. It is their job to check and balance the executive branch when it gets out of line. The first act in checking an out of balance tyrant is impeachment by the House. That they don’t do this is a testimony to the fact that they are lazy cowards at best and/or may be part and parcel of the very corruption they refuse to indict.
As for me, I will do what is right and put my faith in the Lord.
Say what you will, Richard Nixon at least saw what he was doing to the country and resigned for the good of it. The difference between him and Obama is night and day; Obama is intentionally destroying this country, and resignation is the farthest thing from his mind.
The “dilemma” is very simple: Do we get the rat out of the pantry or do we simply let it eat all of the food (freedoms) in the pantry and simply go elsewhere to do more damage?
There is only one good answer.
A strong case can be made that B0 has committed impeachable offenses, yet impeachment is something to be avoided and unattainable. Such is the current state of affairs.
The best advice!

For a long time the media's reaction was to view everything with suspicion. It was considered part of journalism to investigate the veracity of what was being said by both parties.
It seems that since Viet Nam that it has become the job of the media to make the liberal case and advocate for the democrat party.
I can't give you a reason this happened, or how it happened, it just has.
RINO?
How about miserable, treasonous bastard obstructionist?
Add in control of schools and you are on the fast-track to control the opinions and even core beliefs of entire populations (with the exception of a few thinkers and renegades).
add my 2cents to yours;You dont make an attempt on the King unless you know you will succeed. To fail only further unleashes him to do more things he couldnt do in the open before
Right now the GOP, needs to focus on retaining the House and winning back the Senate, hopefully with a super-majority, which will make the question of impeachment much easier to answer and accomplish.
This is mid-July. Midterm elections are in November. As slow as Washington is at getting anything done, that is a very short time to get our act together to accomplish the goals of simply regaining the majority. Leave the talk of impeachment alone until after we gain more power. By then there will be two years left in Obama’s term. Enough time to impeach and convict but still a long shot with the can’t-move-faster-than-a-snail process in Washington.
This impeachment fervor is a near-sighted solution for right now. It’s like planning a divorce before getting married. Don’t get me wrong. Obama needs to be removed from office, if for nothing else, incompetence, not to mention the crimes and misdemeanors he has carried out. But focus on getting back the majority first and then re-think whether impeachment is advisable or at all possible with just two years left of Obama’s rein of terror on the America. If impeachment were to be achieved, all we would get would be that stumble-bumble, Joe Biden. Better than Obama in my book, but still no prize as a replacement.
It may be best to just throttle him for those last two years by withholding funding, holding more hearings and attempting to get to the bottom of some his odorous messes. It’s been my experience after 67 years of fighting the many battles in life, that it isn’t always the wise course to go for the jugular because you feel like doing it. Sometimes tempered action is the better course.
Hey 28; Did Christ jump from the top of the temple?
You can’t just take out 0, biden is even worse as he is a stupid jackass. You have to get both of them, then who do you get RINO CRY BABY.
Part of the reason the Senate did not impeach slick willie was they knew the kook prince Albert was, and chose the lesser of 2 evils.
This gives you the succession order.

Makes sense the first act of every tyrant/ despot was to take over the media to control the message.
This writer has a good point and makes sense. Even if the dems loose the Senate, getting a conviction AND removal are a very long shot, that as the writer says could endear the indies and slightly liberals out of sympathy.
Look at klintoon, did impeachment hurt the jerk? None that I ever saw and may even made him a bigger public figure than before.
If there isn’t a real good chance of stripping nobama back to common dope smoking street hustler, we’ll be better off with him creating and suffering his own powerless failure status for 2 more years. Now that we are beginning to see the dems and (remarkably the MSM quitting to bow at the ankles, he will begin to lash out at them with more venom than we have gotten.
The house can impeach the president. However, the senate will try him and to convict him two thirds of the senate must vote to remove him from office. With or without a plan, how can we get two thirds of the senate to vote Obama out of office? Most of the Democrat senators are lost in the liberal bubble. They are beyond reason. As was mentioned in an earlier post, we need to work to retain the house and get the senate. Then we need to find a viable candidate for 2016. Sadly, too many people are already pushing “moderate” republicans which means another loss.
