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.
It's what I said kev...It's all about them in the GOP...Why in hell would they speak the truth? It's too risky!!
Why would those in the GOP risk their government pensions, benefits and votes?
It's like you yourself said kev...They'll do anything to avoid having egg on their faces...Screw the country...It's all about the GOP and how they appear on TV.
You think this is some secret?
