“...It would appear that you are correct in this assessment...”
I’m only going on what the Speaker himself said. Now, I’m no fan of Boehner. I think he’s the weakest, most spineless SOTHouse I’ve ever seen. He’s NOT our version of Pelosi for sure. But if he says it’s off the table, I believe him.
“...And if the Republican Party operatives who post here on occasions think their tactics of brow-beating those who disagree with them...”
Not saying there aren’t GOP operatives here, friend, but don’t automatically think that because someone disagrees with you they’re part of that.
Some people have a really acute grasp of political realities and can see 7 or 8 chess moves ahead. I’ll be the first to state that I’m DEFINITELY not one that can see that far ahead, but I do listen to and learn from those that can.
End of the day, you, me, sickoflibs, and a great many other folks are in the same fighting hole.
Guns point out of the perimeter, my friend. We’ll find the best way to defeat the other side yet.
The Republican Party does not have the collective guts to prosecute this guy even though it is richly deserved.
Andrew McCarthy was talking about this on the radio this morning. Unfortunately, there is the RIGHT thing to do, the expedient thing to do, and the political reality thing to do. Guess which thing the GOP will choose?
They’ll do whatever “appears” to guarantee a GOP win in November regardless of what we want or think.
Sucks... but it is the way it is. Our job is to make sure we replace the spineless with Tea Party folks wherever and whenever we can so we can start re-making the party into something resembling an opposition party, instead of a Lite version of the other guys.
You and I apparently agree more than we disagree, based on your last post.
Some folks’ guns were first pointed at me. You just weren’t aware of it; I was.
Your victim like whining is very entertaining to me, but lets go back to your 'hello' to me on this thread...
“You do know FR is a website for Constitutional conservatives, not just for Republican cowards to post...?”

Do I post ‘occasionally’ here?
Am I just a phantom poster?
“...You and I apparently agree more than we disagree, ..”
You’d be surprised how much we ALL do, brother.
One team, one fight. The left us ALL equally.
“...Am I just a phantom poster?...”
Yer a phantom SUMPIN’ fer sure! Haha! :^)
Rabble-rouser!!
“...The left us ALL equally...”
Should be “The left hates us ALL equally.”
Youd be surprised how much we ALL do, brother.”
On the other hand...HAHA
I would reword this as :
"Not saying there arent GOP operatives here, friend, but dont automatically think that because someone disagrees with you because you disagree with something that someone-else posts here that theyre part of that."
more accurate.
Na, no “haha” at all...
We’ve all got different viewpoints on the same subject (what is that called, the parallax view, I believe?)
I give credit where it’s due, and criticism as well. We need to be a wall though, ultimately.
Rather have allies than animosity where possible, my brother.
It also depends on ones perspective too.
I just pinged you on the Obama/Kerry Israel leak.
Palestinians shoot rockets at Israel and Kerry and Obama tells Israel to cease firing back and that they should try to kiss and make up with the muzzies attacking them.
Now if the muzzies were shooting rockets at MA or the WH, they would be nuked.
But they act surprised that Israel demands to defend itself.
You bring nothing to the table but a loud mouth. Go away.
does this manufactured “issue” remind anyone of any other manufactured issue? Does anyone remember the question about “birth control” during the debates? This is the same maneuver.
don’t fall for it.
“..Not just the leftists...”
No, true that.. RINOs too. But then again, they’re lefties too, ultimately.
The remedy for having a lawless President continue in office would be removal.
Impeachment at this point wouldn't provide that remedy.
If you think giving Obama an opportunity to become more popular (a la Bill Clinton) is a remedy for unlawful acts you are sadly mistaken. Now, if more people (not a minority) become convinced that Obama has committed high crimes or misdemeanors, you have a chance for removal.
Impeachment will be very much on the table if there's an opportunity to get sixty six Senators on board. Then it could really lead to something....the real remedy...Obama being removed. This will happen if more of the public is behind it.
Impeachment of Clinton made him MORE popular. And that's why we struggle with Hillary seeking office.
Until the majority of the public wants it, it isn't going to happen.
PING!
Impeachment. I don’t understand the fixation.
Clinton was caught dead to rights obviously having committed well document felonies, and his approval rating went up, GOP lost 5 House seats, and he was not convicted and removed which would take 67 votes in the Senate. The economy was good and that’s all voters cared about. And hell the perjury was far from his worst crime, it was just the only one that was documented enough to prove and he “lied about sex” so nobody cared. His greatest crimes, like Obama’s, weren’t something you were gonna prove in court or in a congressional hearing (unless you reside in Candyland where the courts are run by magic fairies that care about the US constitution). Gingrich should have dropped it when it obviously wasn’t politically helpful and saved some face by censuring him instead.
Even if Obama were impeached, removal is not gonna happen, so what’s the point? It would just be meaningless political theater that would only help Obama. If it would hurt him I’d be all for it but it wouldn’t so it is COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. Whoever said Obama is “concerned”, that’s nonsense, he wants you to think that, if you do you are a fool, playing into his hands, he’s also not concerned about his birth certificate. The DNC is trying desperately to stir up **it and divide Republicans, it’s their only strategy to help minimize midterm losses and too many people are all too happy to play right into their hands.
Even if it did happen, Biden would become President, SO WHAT’S THE POINT? Biden is an alcoholic fruitcake, we’d like him to become the most powerful man in the world and have an improved chance to keep the job? I sure as hell wouldn’t.

No US President will ever be impeached again, if ever gets Nixon level with Obama or any future President, with crimes so clear that the President’s own party turns on him, then that President will, like Nixon, resign before it happens to minimize damage to his party.
The economy sucks and Obamacare is a disaster, that is ALL Republicans should be talking about. Maybe with a little “look at this disastrous foreign policy” thrown in.
