This is not the time to be talking about impeachment. I agree with Issa at this time.

I can think of only one other way to increase Obama’s popularity besides impeachment proceedings. Issa is correct.

I agree with Issa...impeachment is for high crimes and misdemeanors, remember? Even under that standard, the good guys couldn’t get Bubba removed from office.

Do we really want to go the same way the Dims went after Dubya?

It’d be stupid to try such a thing. Talk about shooting your load.

Nobody should idly speculate about impeachment.

The idea of impeachment is beyond stupid, it’s lunatic. Just as Gore’s selfishness during 2000 damaged the process, impeaching Obama because we don’t like his policies is another example of people degrading the process which has made this country solid, which made us a good place for investment capital, because we oppose someone on policy. Not to mention, on a purely political point, how this only helped Clinton and the dems last time.

People value their vote. They don’t like it when one party tries to toss their vote aside and reset. Some folks may think putting Joe Biden in the White House and guaranteeing his re-election would help this country, but I sure don’t.

We can defeat socialism for a long time on the merits—we don’t have to shoot ourselves in the foot because we’ll get a laugh out of seeing this boob taken out of office. It’ll feel good for the moment, but it’ll buy the left endless sympathy votes, not to mention that it’s just wrong to kick over the game board because we don’t like how the other team won. Leave him where he is, and let Americans see how awful the left’s way is, and they will not let them have the reins of power for a long time.

Impeachment caused Clinton’s approval rating to go through the roof. It probably was a factor in the Democrats picking up seats in the House in 1998.

What’s the point of impeachment if you don’t have 67 senators to convict and remove from office? There’s no possibility of Republicans having anything more than a bare majority till after the 2012 elections, but then there’s just 17 days between the congress being sworn in on January 3, 2013 and the next presidential inauguration on on January 20, 2013

Impeachment of Obama is what we need. But it’s not politically expedient, apparently.

Do we the people have the patience for 2+ years more of destruction?

I am donating and volunteering to turn things around November 2nd but I must admit to being frustrated as hell with this misadministration and failure to call it out and hold it accountable. Let it ride?

Obama will give himself enough rope, given time. Impeachment probably will be considered at a later date.

OK, I’m cool with Republicans disavowing impeachment at this time. Any chance they might actually ask that commie son of a b***h for his birth certificate? I know, that kind of talk can wait until after the election, too.

Moving for impeachment would be a HUGE mistake, unless he REALLY commits high crimes as president. Impeachment shouldn’t enter anyone’s mind at this point!

Beat him and the Left in the arena of ideas!

If Republicans take control of the House, there is "not a chance at this point" that they will try to impeach President Obama

Well essentially he didn't say anything...

Notice he added the qualifier "at this point". Of course Republicans aren't going to attempt to impeach Obama "at this point" there have been no investigations and no solid case to base an impeachment...

However, I'm sure that if the many congressional investigations after the Republicans take control turn up some wrongdoing, "at that point" there may be an impeachment.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who would helm the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee if the GOP wins on Election Day, said that his party will not try to bring impeachment charges simply because it disagrees with the president.

So impeach the bastard for the crimes he's committed. Simple.

Of course not. We have more important things to accomplish besides spend 2 years spinning our wheels.

And it’s going to take more than 1 election cycle to restore America to the world’s economic engine, and purge the socialists from the government, media, schools and entertainment industry.

Stupid idea.

Impeachment requires that the President has committed a crime. Good luck with that.

Sorry... and while I agree that he’s a danger to the country and the Constitution... so far that’s not a crime.

ONLY use impeachment as a weapon against him being the final signature once we repeal Obamacare.

The rest is gravy..after repeal Obamacare. Go wild; birth certificate, union investigations etc..

We shouldn’t be talking impeachment. Why muck up the winning issues we have with a Quixotic attempt to impeach that will never succeed and only enflame a lot of people who think defeating all of Obama’s policies is not the goal but destroying Obama personally. There’s plenty to oppose but impeachment is not the way to do it.
