The Republicans let the leftists define the debate (as usual). Had Republicans who were accused of wanting to "undo the election" gone on record as saying that they didn't really want to face the 2000 election against an incumbent Al Gore who would be eligible for re-election twice, but that they were nonetheless duty bound to remove a President who broke the law, I don't think the leftists would have had a good counter for that.
The Republicans today have a different problem: a lot of people not only find Obama's conduct insufficient to justify impeachment, but actually regard it as praiseworthy. Claims that impeachment was an attempt to undo the election would have more merit now than in 1998. Republicans would have to instead argue that the only legitimate way to get around the Constitution's limits is to amend that document; even if a party won a landslide and controlled enough legislatures to amend the Constitution, it would still be unlawful for them to do anything which the Constitution didn't allow unless or until such time as the Constitution was amended to allow it.
It's hardly unique to Africa. I think it's a major part of how the leftist brain operates. Among other things, the fact that stock prices are affected by public perception leads to a belief that public perception can create stock value. What they miss is that when prices in a market rise as a consequence of billions of dollars being dumped in, the rising prices do not represent an increase in the amount of money that can eventually be taken out. To the contrary, rising prices often imply a decrease in actual value.
Who said it was "important?" As usual nothing will come of it.
If it does you can put it in Breaking News.
I certainly hope so!
If they were illegal aliens they should be deported.
How did Sheila Jackson-Lee know they were “dreamers”? Did she have them in? If so she should be reprimanded for creating a disruption.
“Clinton was impeached but not convicted, so he will always be an impeached president. Somehow people seem to forget that.”

A large percentage, I would estimate possibly a majority, are incapable of understanding what you mean! It is astounding to me how many people in this country think they know that Richard Nixon WAS impeached and Bill Clinton WAS NOT. IDIOCRACY was actually a documentary, I have watched it twice and never really laughed, it is too close to reality.
Good point. It supports my belief that doing the right thing is always right, and political considerations often muddy the waters of clear ethical thinking.

Trying and failing doesn’t mean it was wrong to try.
Do the right thing: Impeach.

and btw, the left is never discouraged by failure. They just try again and again until they get what they want. We should have the same determination and tenacity. One of the few things to be admired about them. They just always apply that determination and tenacity to the wrong issues.
