Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned in a fundraising pitch Wednesday that Republicans could try to impeach and remove President Obama from office if the GOP wins control of the Senate in next week’s elections.
“Frankly, a Republican House and Senate could go beyond shutting down the government — they could waste months of our lives on impeachment,” Mr. Reid said in a fundraising email sent by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which is an outside group whose goal is to bolster liberal Democrats.
The email appeal asks for support for three Democrats in particular: Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska, Sen. Mark Udall in Colorado, and Rep. Bruce Braley, Democrats’ nominee in Iowa.
All three are trailing in their races in the RealClearPolitics.com average of polls, but they are within striking distance.

Impeachment? Reid must know what Obama REALLY has planned for his last 2 years.
BS from Reid...
He knows the GOP doesn’t have the spine for it.
Just scare tactic kabuki funddraising theater.
Boner would never start or allow impeachment proceedings.
And honestly, Graham and McCain and a few more would not vote to remove Ohole.
By doing so, he acknowledges that, at a minimum, 'High Crimes and Misdemeanors' have already been committed. I would say TREASON should be the first charge!
If not precisely I’d bet he knows most of it.
Does that mean the Dems are actually nervous about impeachment proceedings,,or are they just using that to stir up their base.
I’d lay money it’s the latter.

Does Reid understand that it is illegal for him to coordinate with a 501-c3 group?
FUHR!!!
Gee Harry if he hasn’t done anything wrong what’s the problem?
It’s clever enough for their retarded voters. Wait, I take that back. Retards aren’t that stupid.
But he’s correct in using “impeachment” and “government shutdown” because he knows that’s like garlic to the GOPe.
It’d be a hoot if he was nailed on it.
This is simply a scare tactic. It takes a 2/3 majority to convict in the Senate. Is Reid suggesting that a significant number of Democrats would join in a conviction?
I don’t think the Republicans would waste everyone’s time with impeaching just to lose again in the Senate even though it might be the right thing to do.
How about the possibility of a jail term for dirty harry. Now that would make my year.
Just open up Yucca Mountain and finish the project. He’ll suffer enough
Reid, 0bama and Durbin make quite a threesome.
