I strongly object to allowing the radical Socialist/Fascist/Commies the term “progressive”.

They think that they are progressing toward a marxist utopia

They have the ammo - the ultimate weapon if Biden, Reid, and other old Democrats can pull enough of Zero’s top appointees to their side. The big question is whether zero’s cabinet has enough old D’s to invoke the 25th amendment clause 4.

Biden and a majority of the cabinet could declare him “unable to discharge the powers and duties of the Office....” While he would immediately send his “written declaration that no inability exists” the VP and a “majority of the principal officers of the executive department” (Cabinet) could within four days confirm that the “President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” and let Congress “decide the issue” by a 2/3 vote of both houses.

Much has been written about the mental state of Obama - and even the press is now questioning his inability to grasp the rejection of his policies (and him personally). It may take an open meltdown of some sort to confirm his mental and emotional inability to function as President - and his recent snap at Biden is a start - but as Democrats are themselves ready to revolt rather than find themselves totally eviscerated at the next election, they may find the 25th amendment their way out.

Some will argue that this section of the amendment was only intended to deal with physical incapacity such as by stroke or heart attack - but clearly there was an intent that mental problems where the President would try to argue he is not incapacitated while others see that he is was clearly contemplated - thus the second round and decision by the Congress in an expedited fashion being provided for. Howard Baker was given a memo when he became chief of staff suggesting the 25th amendment should be invoked to remove Reagan from office after Iran-Contra due to psychological issues, laziness, ... - all of which have been fully exhibited by Obama. Baker and others observed Reagan and found the allegations meritless - has anyone prepared such a memo regarding the current resident of the Whitehouse?

Quicker and cleaner than impeachment, keeps their policies above the fray, and simply takes out what has only become a liability for the next two years. Yes, we’ll have to deal with Biden as President - but he can’t do nearly the damage to the Democratic party that Obama is doing - so if there are rational minds they ultimately will consider their options.

Outside of Coumo i do’nt see who can take the nomination from her.

Eight years ago, would you have guess an unknown named Barak Obama could have beaten her? I think maybe Jerry Brown could take it from her.

I don't think they are interested in fielding a good candidate in 16.

They are leaving a steaming pile for the republicans to clean up. Once it's easy sailing again, they will reappear to point out that the world isn't perfect and only they can make it so.

Good, if it is true let them battle it out.
But .. the Repubs, if THEY don't want to get wiped out in 2016, need to focus on governing and passing good legislation and EDUCATE THE ELECTORATE in the next 2 years as to why conservative ideas and values are America's ideas and values.
The Repubs need to ignore what the Dems are doing within their own party and keep their nose to the “grindstone” and pass/repeal legislation to get the economy going and dismantle Obamacare.

The old Dems were crippled by the progressive agenda.

Yes, but they've gone all in on it. The "Centrist Democrat" has become fairly extinct.

The Democrat Party became the Socialist Party a century ago. It’s a Communist Party now. The GOP, alas, is Socialist, and will be until it dismantles the Socialist big government state constructed over the past century.

Bookmarked... The question begs, does he come unglued, use the F-Bomb in such a manner it has many snatching their heads and being to ask the 25th Amendment Question, as it is not done in a Dick Cheney fashion with Leaky Leahy.

I hope he made it back to you.

Yes, thanks for asking. Dad had a nearly 30-year Navy career and is now 78 and in an Alzheimer's care facility. I'm going to visit him and Mom later this week. It was easier for him after the war than for many, I think, because he was a career officer: he joined in the late 1950s and retired in the mid-80s.

[...] Crazy old dingbats like Pelosi, bottom-feeder mouth-breathers like Reid and Schumer.

Daniel Greenfield seems to consider them a different "party" from the Hayden, Dohrn, Ayers, Obama, Jarrett, etc., group. Perhaps it would be more accurate to consider them some fossilized evolutionary offshoots ... ones who didn't have that certain je ne sais quoi that makes an ideological rock star, but more than made up for it with what they could steal.

I would submit that candidates like Udall and Abortion Barbie lost because their idea of the culture war was rejected by people who still believe the culture war is worth fighting.

And, of course, it is.

In the “successfull” socialist revolutions, like in Russia, Germany (National Socialist Party), China, Cuba, and such, this sort of conflict was resolved by the “radicals” lining up the more moderates at the wall or sending them to the Gulag. Because we still have pieces of the Constitution working here (the Internet allows a fraction of free speech) that option is not available to them...

I suspect Obama and allies seriously regret that. It would not be hard for me to see Obama ordering the arrest of Reid as an “enemy of the people” for criticizing Obama.

The howling and gnashing of teeth on DummyUnderground is a sight to behold. Actually it's a site to laugh at all the numbskulls traumatized by the recent election. According to the Dummies it's back to the Middle Ages with women burned at the stake for using contraceptions.

The evil one percent have all the money, and everybody else will be starving wraithes begging for pennies and scraps of food. The temperature everywhere will soon turn to broiling hot...even in the arctic regions. A Republican congress will now invade Canada, Mexico, and fire nuclear missiles at Russia...and exterminate all Muslims and arrest all libs/leftists and throw them into prison. Slavery will be reintroduced.

That's the mindset of most of the people on that website.

This is the second coming of Chicago ‘68 for the Democrat party. The lunatics are looking to push it even further to the left. This is what Obama is fully about doing. He’s one of the lunatics. He’s not in any sense of the word a politician. He’s a bald-faced dictatorial ideologue.

Pretty well nailed it ST. And don't forget George Wallace who ran third party and won five Southern states with 46 electoral votes.

Obama won’t just have to fight Republicans for the next two years. He’ll also have to fight Democrats.

Which is EXACTLY why I've posted on other threads that should Obama ram through executive amnesty, the Republican's can easily peel off 4-6 Democrat Senators to impeach and remove Obama.

The only problem with that, is Boehner doesn't have the balls to impeach Obama in the House.

I'm betting there's more than a handful of Democrats in the Senate that wouldn't think twice about casting YES votes to impeach and remove Obama at this point.
