At the rate Obama is destroying the country, with he or someone in his administration doing or saying something disastrous every day, internationally as well as at home, then voting may take too darn long. 2010 isn’t enough to but the brakes on the train wreck. By 2012 the USA will be Sierra Leone, or rather, Kenya. We need impeachment. Not possible with the current majorities, but Republicans should start getting this prepared. If we do get a more even balance due to the 2010 elections, start the proceedings the minute everybody’s sworn into office. I’m not an expert, but isn’t this possible? Even necessary. We already have grounds, incompetence.
This is a desperate situation. In one year we almost have socialized medicine, we have proclaimed to the world we are weaklings, we have the Navy fighting off pirates in a daring rescue by having to ignore the CIC, we have our President bowing to Saudi princes and telling us not to “rush to judgment” against terrorists, 10 percent unemployment in some areas, we are promoting abortion (in some cases forcing it on women thru UN agencies) all over the globe with taxpayer money, well, you know this list is long. Is it possible?

I hate to tell you this, but impeachment is highly unlikely even after the 2010 elections, cause you need 67 senators to vote for conviction and throw the POTUS out of office. At best, we may have 46 or 47 Republicans after the 2010 elections, and at least 5-7 of them would be gutless RINOS with no stomach for such a “radical” act.
Recall Clinton’s impeachment in 1998. The House voted to impeach. The Senate at the time had 55 Republicans, and I believe 5 or 6 Republicans joined all the Democrats in voting against conviction, keeping Clinton in office.
I just don’t see any way impeachment would happen. I think the best we can hope for is to put the brakes on the agenda in 2010 by the House refusing to fund Obama’s agenda, then get him out in 2012. It would also be nice to see some attorneys out there on our side filing legal challenges to some of these things.
