The Repubs will blow it. Mittens should have hammered away at Obama lack of economic sense and his tax and spend bs. With all the scandals coming out any Republican candidate should hammer Obamas ass to the wall about them and also ask what happened to the ‘’stimulus’’. What did we get for it, where did it go?
>> The Repubs will blow it.
Is that what you want?
I am afraid you are correct
We are already hearing “we should not impeach Obama” from Phony Con Liberals....its just like the anti-Birther nonsense
There are way too many on the GOP side who are Obama Supporter.
“The Repubs will blow it”
Doesn’t have to be that way.
When you say things like this, it creates a narrative, our side starts believing it and you play right into the hands of the leftists.
Only those who refuse to impeach play into leftists hands.
John McCain is reason number six.
one of these days I promise to read the article before posting
Not sure about 1998 resulted in any backfire on Rep.
In a very good economy with a very popular president algore should have been easily elected.
Perhaps you’re right about the GOP blowing it. Can you guess which RINO blowhard has just come out of hiding to criticize Obama and praise Jeb Bush? Curious? Take a look: http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/rove-jeb-bush-2016/2013/05/22/id/505939
“In a very good economy with a very popular president algore should have been easily elected.”
Both assumptions are suspect; Clinton’s popularity trumpeted by the media was a myth (he never received 50% of the vote, in either election, and that bothered him - he had no “mandate”) and the economy was already tanking - at least here in the northeast. What undoubtedly saved many lives at the World Trade Center in 2001 was the number of vacancies those buildings had; those jobs that hadn’t crossed the river to NJ were already leaving the country.
Al Gore should have been able to win, since the media really pulled for him, but public contempt for Clinton and a not-so-rosy economy sank him.
What, and break tradition? Nah.

YES!! It's what I want and everybody who is conservative should want. The republicans/GOPe are the enemy as much, if not more than the dems!
Bring the whole house down and all their coddling sycophants!
Focusing on impeachment is the wrong thing to do. These scandals should drag Obama Care and many Dem House and Senate members down with it and expose the ugly reality of big govt. A focus on Obama personally is the wrong avenue of attack.
I don’t agree with the premise. In the heat of the Clinton scandals and impeachment, our side did just fine in the midterm elections. Clinton didn’t get removed from office, but he got impeached, and it was bipartisan in the House. We won the next election despite an historically strong economy in the previous 4 years, directly because of Clinton fatigue.
Of the 228 "aye" votes to impeach Clinton, 5 were Democrats.
I was rabidly pro-impeachment. I joined FR in May of 1998 because of it.
In retrospect, I think it was a mistake. It was a mistake because Gingrich was compromised. It was a mistake because the People were not behind it, at least not sufficiently to allow a conviction. And it was a mistake because Clinton became more popular and acquired more power because of it.
If you shoot at the king, you have to kill him with the first shot, because you don't get two.
I keep making that pledge too.
6. EVERYONE hates the IRS.
I’m willing to give up my birther card if in return we can manage to:
1. Repeal the 16th amendment.
2. Abolish the IRS.
3. Strengthen 2A rights nationwide.
4. Jail the felons.
5. Close the border.
6. Deport the illegals.
7. Repeal 0bamacare.
8. I’m sure there are a few more that don’t come to mind at the moment.
... but I’d still be really curious about the real BC. It’s just that there is no reason to go after Al Capone for income tax evasion when you’ve got video and dozens of eyewitnesses to him committing a murder.
Gee, Karl, how absolutely special. Oh, I’m just gonna swoon with the sheer brilliance of your logic and political gravitas.
Jeb Bush! Jeb Bush!! This wussy RINO is the best you can do, Rove? Stay out of the Bushes!
