WASHINGTON — Representative Kerry Bentivolio, a freshman Republican from Michigan, has a legislative dream. It is not to balance the federal budget, or find a way to help his ailing state or even take away money from the federal health care program, a goal that has so animated many other Republicans this summer.
Rather, Mr. Bentivolio told constituents, it is to put in motion the impeachment of President Obama. “If I could write that bill and submit it, it would be a dream come true,” he said this month.
Mr. Bentivolio may be lacking in his understanding of the technical details of the impeachment process — he has retained experts and historians to help him with that, he said — but he is hardly the only one with this desire.
While many members of Congress have used their August break to engage in conversations about immigration policy, the federal budget and the impending implementation of the Affordable Care Act, some Republicans have taken the opportunity to raise the specter of — if not quite the grounds for — presidential impeachment.
At least two other House Republicans told voters this month that the impeachment process could happen. And last week, Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican who has called himself a friend of the president, told constituents that the nation was “perilously close” to an impeachment situation.
Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, lamented to one voter who asked about the prospect of impeachment that the Senate, controlled by Democrats, would probably not yield the needed votes for conviction. (This logic has not impeded Mr. Cruz from seeking to stop a short-term spending bill unless money is drained from the health care program.)
There is also a grass-roots movement in which citizens across the nation have been hanging signs on overpasses...

My dream too, impeach the bastard, convict and put him in prison along with that thief of a wife!
What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Don’t look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the president’s hand isn’t that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isn’t that an impeachable offense ??
Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks.
Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 165 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. .
Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts
To date the political opposition known as Republican has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?
The person working security was attacked on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so.
Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didn’t..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way.unimpeded. But didn’t. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the “neighborhood watch” worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly.
Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchman’s legal pistol.
The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed .
While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..
Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and “hispanics” who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority.
Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is. Other forms of media particularly the black media had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various “mainlining” socialist media sources:
Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target. What is the result ? Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury. In some cases actually stalked their white victims.

In reality those victims are the martyrs to the cause of American socialism.,and the political opposition still remains silent and says nothing..
If early on some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. This would not have gone this far.
Instead of “milking this” accepting black callers but allowing them to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was “stalked” or Martin was “stopped” and “questioned” when there was no right to do so. Instead these hosts failed to stop them, cite the simple facts outlined and documented here,but allowed the callers miss-conceptions go unchallanged. When they could have cited examples of policy or corruption let alone ask them what has Obama done for you? Or even dismiss them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed..
You are encouraged to Print up or email -pass it on....Why ? Time to expose citizens to the face the facts If it suits their purposes this regime and its adhearants will paint a target on their back. Wether it’s a black hispanic who gets turned in a “white hispanic” or union members losing their health care benefits if Obamacare gets funded.
If the republicants take control of the Senate in 2014, all this talk of impeachment will stop immediately.
you better believe it. all of a sudden the new meme will resort back to reaching across the aisle and bipartisonship. We are being played by both sides.
maybe just drag him behind the boat for a bit
Richard Nixon was impeached for less.
The case against Obama is far more substantive. Therefore, while the effort might not be successful, it would be educational.The public has not been informed about the way that Obama has ignored his duties to enforce the laws he does not like..
It is then that it should go forward, of course. What we are confronted by is caesarism.
So the captive press is suddenly going to start telling the truth during impeachment proceedings?
They'll dredge up a thousand Paula Deen stories to bury the impeachment story, just like they always do.
Of course they will bury it, as best they can, but Impeachment is drama, and they like drama. What it can do is suggested by the case of Andrew Johnson: it can make the president come out of his castle. It can reduce the prestige of his office. But it does take courage; it must have prosecutors with nerves of steel.
That depends on the issue. Johnson did not became a martyr, and him until the time of TR and Wilson, the office of President was reduced to the Whig concept of it.
Neither man will lead, but events may make them follow.
If the gop wing of the uniparty still exists in 2016, I’m sure they’ll be talking about impeachment, their dreams of adding a bunch of amendments to the Constitution, or how wonderful they were to implement amnesty to show how sweet and lovable they are to folks who will never vote for them.
This is the reality we face. There is nobody in Washington who is consistently interested in CONSTITUTIONAL government; and even fewer in the general populace who are interested in seeing their pet programs get the ax to get there. We have two statist parties. The republican’ts would be far to worried about their relationship with big business and the press to ever impeach and convict our first affirmative action pres__ent.
OweBowMao is the issue.
He will be martyred if you look at him cross-eyed, because he is the first Black president after Clinton.
The minute he is impeached, the media will demand he be chiseled onto Mt. Rushmore. We live in different times from the days of Andrew Johnson when at least reason prevailed.
I just want him to sink into utter insignificance and total disrepute. I want his name cursed under every breath for what he has done to this country. I want him to feel the shame and dishonor to which he is entitled.
It depends on events. I have this bad,bad feeling that we are sailing into dangerous waters with an incompetent captain.
It would probably take 65 republican senators to convict obama. If they had 51 the votes it would probably be around 10 for conviction. Most will vote to aquit unless they’re absolutely positive they have the votes to convict. Very few will stand on principles.
Nothing Venture Nothing Gained!
