Palin shows conviction; Boehner doesn't
Columbia Daily Tribune ^ | Wednesday, July 16, 2014 | RUTH MARCUS

Sarah Palin is right about impeaching President Barack Obama.

No, not that the president should be impeached. But Palin is correct in arguing that, for those who assert that Obama has grievously abused his executive authority, impeachment is the proper course of action.

Whip up some Articles of Impeachment. It’s not very difficult. Even Cantor could do it.

*wistful thinking* .. think how much better, our nation could be if,
Palin had been Presidential Candidate and John McPain, the Veep.
She has been correct far more than being wrong.

I vote to impeach Boehner and Barry. Both are phony.

Free-lancers can say anything.

Boner leads a thin majority in the House.
He does not have 218 automatic votes for his legislation.
so he is always on thin ice.

Interesting that Ruth Marcus would validate the impeachable offense of abuse of power cited by Palin, yet ignored by Boehner. Although liberal, Marcus shows more respect for the Constitutional perspective of Palin than many soundbite-driven freepers do.

America is going down the rabbit hole at breakneck speed, and once our nation is gone it's gone forever.

Boehner is well paid and lives very comfortably. I don't think it's too much to ask for the Speaker to think outside the box this time around.

Boner is only passionate about his tanning machine.

Palin and Boehner are both doing necessary jobs and the actions of each constitute a strong left -right combination punch

Sarah Palin has courageously come out and publicly called for Obama’s impeachment. It’s finally been said and is now time for , as the Democrats love to say, “a strong national dialogue” on the issue.

Support for impeachment of Obama as of this moment is stronger than it ever was for Bill Clinton, and now that it is out there people will talk about the topic and over time will get comfortable with the concept of impeaching the President.

Popular support should continue to grow for impeachment as long as Obama contines to act like a dictator, overreach his authority and aggressively pursue his signature 80-20 (80 % of Americans strongly oppose and 20% strongly approve ) policy issues.

Boehner’s law suit should not be underestimated and will not be by anyone who has been in a lawsuit. The lawsuit will tie Obama’s hands to a degree and be a constant ongoing problem for his administration.

Sarah Palin and John Boehner have collectively planted the seeds of a cancer that os going to slowly but surely gnaw away at Obama’s popularity , his approval rating as and his ability to run the the country into the ground for the rest of Obama’s time in office

The combination of two will hasten the process of Obama destroying himself and his presidency.

Is he a leader, or a facilitator?

Leaders lead from a conviction of principle and character.

Facilitators stick their fingers in the wind and have an attitude like yours.

to posts 9 and 12.

what do you expect Boner to do?
his majority includes ...

1) Republicans in swing districts, that have to fight for themselves just to get elected, we are lucky to have them,
but they can’t help much, except during the time when the
House organizes itself. (then we need them).

2) Republicans in super safe districts, that are out to
make a name for themselves by causing trouble.

consider recent episodes of gov’t shutdown.
to fight back properly, Boner would have to get passed...
what I call ‘tactical legislation’, to make Obama look bad.

2) above Republicans, won’t cooperate unless they are paid off, even the Speaker of the House will eventually
run out of perks to give away.

because Boner can’t fight back properly,
sometimes, it is better to make a deal and fold.

IMO, we need to concentrate on the winning
the Senate in the upcoming mid-terms ...
not on fighting-out a new round of gov’t-shutdowns

Oops, you forgot to add the need to run ads against conservatives calling them racists and extremists. Oh, I forgot, they’re (GOP) already doing that.

He can fight for what is right.

I am so glad that the Founders of this great country of ours did not have the weak-kneed approach that you have.

If they were to have followed your line of thinking, they would have looked at the strongest military of the day, Great Britain, and would have said, "What do you expect us to do, we can't win, we're just a bunch of farmers, businessmen, and landowners. We can't win against the invincible army and navy of the King."

So what if the GOPe wins the Senate, it won’t make a damn bit of difference.
