Sarah Palin on Tuesday joined a growing chorus of Republicans calling for the impeachment of President Obama, writing in a Breitbart op-ed that the influx of young illegal immigrants over the southern border "is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, 'no mas.' "
Mixed/careless metaphors aside, this is nothing but bad news for Republicans — especially four months until the 2014 election.
Palin is hardly the first GOP politician to raise the issue of impeachment over the past couple years. Others include Sens. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Reps. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.), Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.), Michael Burgess (R-Tex.), Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), former congressmen Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and Allen West (R-Fla.), and the South Dakota Republican Party. Not all of these folks called for Obama's impeachment directly, but all of them suggested that it is or should be on the table.
What none of these folks have, though, is a national following. That's where Palin comes in. She's the first Republican of any significant national stature to make this call. And she's the kind of figure who could potentially recruit others to the cause — people who will want to be heard. Palin surely doesn't carry the kind of weight she once did in the GOP, but she still has a significant tea party following and is highly popular among the conservative base....

And she would honor that office, and never soil that desk with her feet.
1. Let the HOUSE impeach him.
2. Let it stay in the HOUSE until the Midterms.
3. Who would remove him. EVERYBODY!! If the (new) Senate (Convicts him.)
Yes. And yes.
But the time has passed. Since we can be certain that impeachment proceedings would be fruitless and actually aid and assist Obama as he would use them as cover to create many more scanda;s, then why bother?
All we can do is pray that America survies two more years and then we can be free of this POS.
Obama has disgraced the Oval Office like KKKarter, KKKlinton and KKKennedy, all of whom have worn sloppy, casual attire there. Even with the known faults of both Bushes, they treated the Oval Office with dignity and respect.
Sigh. You're probably right. The corrupt media has everybody brainwashed to think in terms of "the opposite party."
Concerned?
I have been concerned for over fifteen years.
I remember 1998 very well and our role in Clinton’s impeachment.
The problem is not impeachment. The problem is with the gutless GOP leadership. They folded in 1999, 2006, 2008 and 2012. If it was not for Sarah Palin and the Tea Party in 2010, John Boehner would be the Minority Leader being led around by the nose by Nancy Pelosi every day right now.
Each of these Congresscritters took an oath—to the Constitution, not to Obama.
And they need to live it up to it.
As for the House, we might keep it. But the Senate—don’t get your hopes up. Besides, the vote fraud by the Dems will decide every close race—the blueprint has already been established.
The GOP knew this since 1960 and they have nothing about it.
It is now highly sophisticated.
We already have a good chance of losing Kentucky and Mississippi thanks to the morons that head up the GOP and the incumbent candidates.
2014 is the last stand for the GOP. They don’t realize it yet.
Even if we win the Senate in 2014, there will voices like yours in 2015 saying, oh, we dont have 2/3rds to convict, we better not chance it.
Now is the best time to do this. There are one third of the Senators up for re-election, many are Dems, what are they going to campaign on—2 more years of the same as the last 6?
Senators are political animals above all else. If the price is too high, they won’t be hitching their wagon to Obozo.
I have watched the GOP fold time after time since 1999, for absolutely no gain.
Therefore I am no longer a Republican.
My sincere hope is that we form a new party for the 2016 election, with a real American like Sarah Palin as its head and we win in 2016 to save America.
The GOP sure isn’t going to do it.
Am I concerned?
Let me put it this way-—you betcha.
That's the only conclusion any real patriot can come to at this stage of our country's destruction.
We can't take another two years of the two bit foreign queer in the White Hut.
Then I salute you, Sir.
And I apologize. Sometimes passion runs ahead of sense.
I just see a once in a lifetime chance to get rid of the most foul, useless, and divisive president in history, and I really don’t want it screwing up!
Just tagline.
I’m with you Sarah. Go for it!
Bad news for the GOP is good news for America. We can’t fight Progressivism until the GOP is reformed.
Impeachment isn’t going to cut it. Arrest obama, biden, holder, jarrett, and the majority of congress, and the supreme court, and put them all on trial for treason, subversion, and inciting insurrection and overthrow of the US government, and do it nuremburg style. Anybody in government who sides with them would get the enemy combatant treatment. No “just following orders” excuses for the lackeys, only prison or execution for them. Make it crystal clear just exactly what the constitution allows the federal government to do, and what it can’t.
Don’t do your duty.
Don’t uphold your oath of office.
Because it might make people who hate you, hate you a bit more.
Because it might make people who have no idea of what those oaths mean vote for someone else.
Don’t do your duty because the media will say even more bad things about you.
Don’t do your duty, and maybe you will keep your phoney-baloney job, and get in a few more of your gutless friends in next election, and having established that you fear to do your duty, it won’t surprise anyone that you continue to cower from public opinion and that since the enemy is undefeatable, there is no other duty left but grabbing all the goodies you can, now, and hoping that you are eaten by the crocodile last.
Don’t try William Travis, Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie; Surrender yourselves and your men now: Santa Ana has the deck stacked against you, and your sacrifices will be meaningless.
The people who are saying that the GOP should surrender now, that they should run away from their duty, to perhaps live another day because the bad guys have them outnumbered and out strategized....
...Will you give the same advice to the lone cop who wanders by when you are being raped and robbed by a gang of newly imported MS-13 thugs?
Will you say “Officer; Don’t do your DUTY now. The odds are hopeless. Run away, and maybe next time, you will have enough backup to save me from the next rape and robbery.”?
When Democrats are concerned trolling about what "their party" is or should be doing, it's a sure bet that "their party" is moving in a threatening direction for the Democrat Party.
F'em. Democrats all need a fair trial and a fine hanging.
I’m not wild about the idea of impeachment either because I don’t think the uniparty will do it, but now that Sarah! has come out for it, I guess I’ll have to rethink it. She probably has another game in mind.
As for the senate, I don’t give a rats rear whether the gop wing of the uniparty wins it or not. With such luminaries as cornyn, the kentucky doughboy and cochroach running I can’t say as they’d be any improvement if they did win.
So? And you see no merit in the hearings exposing this rotten thing we call a President? Guess we will just have to still rely on the MSM to expose him, right?
