Meanwhile the democrat running to replace Levin (Gary Peters) is trying to sound moderate.

And why was Harry (the booty) Reid so insistent during last years campaign that Romney show his tax returns? That scoundrel kept on pushing this even though there really was nothing of substance to it. Is Reid in on it too?

Impeach this rascal?

Why not turn the heat on some Democrats...

Michigan is having all sorts of troubles -- bankruptcy of Detroit, high unemployment, etc.

Sounds like voters, even if he survives impeachment, might toss him in the next election (whenever that is for him).

Until you have a link to any kind of story connecting the Congressional GOP to the IRS scandal in any manner, knock off the claims and insinuations.
