We know the President lied about the gun running into Mexico. We know the President lied about the deadly Benghazi attacks, where it's now found even CBS's 60 Minutes will apologize publicly this Sunday for airing a false witness who lied in regards to that event. Throw in all the lies surrounding the NSA, the IRS etc.
Then Obamacare.
The President lied to the entire nation multiple times. This is not speculation. The President repeatedly lied over and over.
Why are we not hearing from the Republicans en masse? Where are the calls and demands for impeachment? Why are their no hearings? Where is the genuine outrage for this tsunami of lies?
Where are the committees to investigate Benghazi and Obamacare? Where are they subpoenas, indictments and special prosecutors?
Where are the non-stop demands to remove this President from office?
Yep, I’ve obviously outed a libertarian Ron Paul kook by the way you’ve avoided my questions, no doubt about it. Your behavior fits the modus operandi el perfecto.
No sense reasoning with crazy. I leave you be so you can get more instructions from the mothership without interference.
Where is the Republican outrage and demands for impeachment?
Fast & Furious, IRS, Benghazi, Extortion 17, Libya, Syria, nonenforcement of immigration law, illegal campaign contributions, hell, throw in Walpin / Americorp too. I'm sure there's a few I've forgotten.
the Repubs better be sure they wear there big boy pants, not like they did for clinton and give him a Lewinski.
Going for another round I see liberal Pauldrone troll.
Anyone can read back junior...You were KO’d early on...
The Internet makes a great witness.
The party insiders will think of any excuse to avoid doing what is right.
In the real world, if Obama had been the CEO of some large corporation, everyone connected the company from the investors, to the board of directors to those making the wheels turn, would have demanded his resignation and or terminated his control of the company. Otherwise the company would just go out of business.
Just goes to show how rotten and corrupt to the core those in governemnt are.
Exactly.
Impeachment will never happen unless the push comes from the Dems. Otherwise, it becomes a party-line vote and nothing happens except the GOP gets egg on their faces.
Impeachment is a political act, not a legal one. Taking on a no-win cause is a stupid thing to do politically, especially when the blow-back will be severe when it does fail.

The GOP has total access to the media, microphones and cameras...
Let me get this straight.
Instead of doing what is right and honorable, demanding this inept corrupt individual step down, resign or demand his removal, they all stand in silence, allowing this harmful destructive president to continue as if nothing has happened. Leaving hundreds of millions of Americans holding the bag and totally compromising even their health care.
And you're worried about the wealthy insiders in the GOP appearing to have egg on their faces?
So there ya have from kevkrom....
This is what it's all about....It's all about how the wealthy in the GOP might appear...Why, if they pound the podiums and speak the truth, they might appear to have egg on their makeup...
Instead of speaking out and demanding relief from this epic Obama disaster, demanding he step down or resign due to the disastrous chaos he's caused, it's better they remain silent and appear cool and looking sharp for the cameras.
That’s it. clinton should have been impeached for Chinagate, Emailgate, transfer of nuclear weapons tech and missile guidance tech to the chicoms and Waco, to name a few.
Impeachment is a political act, not a legal one. Taking on a no-win cause is a stupid thing to do politically, especially when the blow-back will be severe when it does fail.
For starters, you assume that the political ramifications would be negative.
As I said, "not doing the appropriate thing only adds to the message that Obama has done nothing wrong".
Yup. It's called being stuck on stupid.
Yeah, silly me for assuming that politicians would consider the political implications of a political action.

Implications? God forbid!!
You already said, they fear having egg on their faces Mr. Kevkrom...Can't have that, can we kev?
We don't want to damage their precious make-up with egg on their faces, do we Kev?
The powerful elite in the GOP might look bad, huh kev!
Someone on CNN might make fun of them, right kev?
You guys are very confused. Let me help.
Senators and Members of Congress, whether GOP or Democrat, are farmers. We are cows.
Beginning in 1992,and increasingly since then, the cows have begun to act strangely. We cows are stupid, very stupid, but we are bigger, heavier, and stronger than the farmers.
Every time they think they've got the cows calmed down, something happens again over in another corner of the pasture.
The President is like a banker, who could foreclose on the farm and send the farmers away.
So, now, they're afraid of the cows and afraid of the banker, and they don't know what the hell to do.
The idea of having 53 or 54 GOP Senators, and thereby removing Obama from office, which requires 67 votes, is just ridiculous.
You’re quaint.
You really think Congress - and the GOP Congress at that - is there to fight for truth and justice? The CEO example doesn’t apply precisely because government is a monopoly, and does not answer to the shareholders or the market. (A prime reason why the government should never be allowed to “manage” any part of the economy, without even needing getting in to any notions of liberty.)
They’re politicians. They don’t do anything without considering the potential political consequences, especially not something as big and drastic as impeachment.
While his personal approval is as low as it’s ever been, the GOP also knows that the one thing that can rescue Obama is an attack on him directly. There are too many people who are still emotionally invested in Obama as a concept, and they will reflexively switch to defending him if he’s attacked personally. This isn’t theory, it’s happened every time the GOP has taken the offensive against Obama the man, as opposed to Obama’s policies and impacts.
In that light, impeachment - without the support of enough Democrats to ensure it will likely be successful in the Senate - is political suicide, something career politicians try to avoid, for some odd reason.
I don’t give a damn about them and their careers, or their backers, but you’re fooling yourself if you think they’re all of a sudden going to flush their political careers down the toilet just to send a message about “the right thing”. That’s naivety to an astonishing degree. And blustering about it or attacking me for pointing out the simple truth only reinforces that naivety.
The idea of having 53 or 54 GOP Senators, and thereby removing Obama from office, which requires 67 votes, is just ridiculous.
So sit there in total silence, or just go along with it right Jim? Better to look cool huh Jim?
Don't say a flipping word about demanding his removal, while tens of millions of Americans get jack hammered to the point were they even lose their health care. Good thinking Jim.
We don't want the GOP to have egg on their faces, right Jim?
I was answering the question, "where are the GOP demands for impeachment?" (there are none). I was not answering the question, "what does Jim Noble think the GOP should do?"
