‘Impeach the President’
RedState ^ | Feb 12, 2014 | By: Erick Erickson

Posted on 02/12/2014 11:20:34 AM PST by Jim Robinson

You guys in the press who are reading this right now can be such shameless whores. I generally try to hold to the standard these days that if I wouldn’t be outraged by George Chimpy McBushitler Halliburton and Darth Cheney doing something, I shouldn’t be outraged by President Obama. And if I’d be outraged by Bush, I should be outraged by Obama.

But you journalists have such erections for everything Barack Obama does, you can’t even summon outrage to report fairly on the latest b.s. from the administration over Obamacare. Is it any wonder so many people have stopped trusting you?

Under the latest round of Obamacare delays for companies of 50 to 99 employees, companies who embrace the delay can layoff, restructure, and hire part time workers, but only if they swear to the IRS they are not doing so because of Obamacare. This comes on the heels of a much touted CBO report that finds only anecdotal evidence of a shift to part-time work now, but expects a shift in labor among small businesses in 2015.

If George W. Bush had done that, Dan Rather would be marching on the White House with a pitch fork. Tom Browkaw would be calling for his head on a platter. Andrea Mitchell of that anti-Bush site would be calling for his impeachment. CNN would be interviewing Cindy Sheehan about the boundaries crossed by George and Dick. And — spare me the rebuttals — you know damn well the story wouldn’t be done in passing, but would be wall to wall coverage with your legal analysts, economists, and sour faced anchors all tut-tutting for several days.

“On what legal authority?” you guys would ponder. “Won’t businesses just turn to lying,” you’d speculate...

They couldn’t even impeach Clintoon...

Come on hosepipe, say what you mean and mean what you say. He was not removed from office but you know darn well that he was impeached by the House, just not convicted by the Senate.

Yep, getting murdered by your government I’d say is special treatment. For the current MSM propagandists complicit in the demise of our Constitutional system of Represented Republic form of government, they deserve nothing less.

Whoops Graewoulf, you just stumped your toe right there. You did give me a chuckle though.

p.s. If we had a real Leader and Statesman as Speaker, your plan is fantastic.

“People” think impeached MEANS removed.. and it does not..
Impeached is just whining by the House.. means nothing..

If not removed.............. it’s just Kabuki Theatre..
When a corrupt House and a corrupt Senate pass judgement on a corrupt President.... it’s then up to a corrupt Supreme Court..

by then...... it’s a Three Stooges Skit... with Shemp for flavor..

Than ka.

The key to success is to force “Wrongway” Boehner to R-E-S-I-G-N !

With Boehner as Speaker, Obama will keep on getting anything that he wants.

In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee recommended Articles of Impeachment to the full House of Representatives, but Nixon resigned before the House voted on the Articles.

The ultimate victory of the Nazis was when they got people to participate in their cruelty, as in Sophie’s Choice, and I’m sure many other travesties. Thanks for pointing out that that’s what is happening.

Yes. Everyone allows their conscience to be murdered, and it can’t be brought back to life.

No. Sorry. You are wrong.

Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was impeached by the House of Representatives on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice, on December 19, 1998. (Source Wiki)

Best Answer (Chosen by Asker) Yes, but he wasn't removed. The term "impeach" is the term for basically a lawsuit to remove a person from office, e.g. the president. In Clinton's case, he was impeached, but won the lawsuit and was not removed. (Source Yahoo Answers)

There's plenty more proof. Even DU.

To: hosepipe; All

As Americans, WE are used to patiently, and silently waiting for solutions to problems to come from the top down.

This lazy attitude has been the basis for most Corporate and Political Management structures in America for most of OUR History.

WE now have the ultimate in lazy, top-down, political structure: a rouge dictator whom WE allow to be above OUR Constitutional Law.

WE will continue to have the current Obama Dictatorship as long as the Chief Impeachment Official, ( CIO ), the Speaker of the House, is allowed by US to permit Obama to continue as a OUR Dictator.

In all of Obama’s public statements, he has told the truth to US only twice:
1.) “We are only five days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America.”

and

2.) “I have a pen and a telephone, and I will use them to issue Executive Orders whenever Congress fails to act.”

Obama has thus defined himself to be OUR Dictator, and formally gave US fair warning of his intentions to do so.

For reasons that border on High Treason to the United States of America, Boehner as Speaker of the House, has failed his Constitutional Duty to begin Impeachment Proceedings on B. Hussein Obama.

The Members of the US House of Representatives have refused to force Boehner to resign; then to elect a Speaker with the required Sense of Honor to do his/her Constitutional Duty to begin Formal Impeachment Proceedings on B. Hussein Obama.

If WE, the taxpayers, do not force the Members of the US House of Representatives to replace Boehner as Speaker with a new Speaker that will issue the necessary Articles of Impeachment on B. Hussein Obama, then WE, the lazy, silent majority taxpayers, deserve to continue to have OUR Liberties crushed by Dictator Obama.

The future of OUR Republic is, as always, in OUR hands.

DONT TREAD ON ME

So true... we have NOW the givernment we deserve..

If not WE would change it..
Most of the populace seems to be high on “something”..
Addicted or zoned out... incapable of response...

The few AWAKE (and not cowards) need to DO SOMETHING..
“The DOLE”.. is the opiate that unhinged US...

Somebody needs to get sober.. FAST...
The death squads are not far off...
Maybe.... in some places ALREADY active..

The military is actively being PURGED NOW...
probably most police systems as well..

First President to repeat the Holy Quran and tell us the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth

First President to side with a foreign nation over one of the American 50 states (Mexico vs Arizona).

First President to tell the military men and women that they should pay for their own private insurance because they “volunteered to go to war and knew the consequences.”

Then he was the First President to tell the members of the military that THEY were UNPATRIOTIC for balking at the last sggestion. (Thank God he didn’t get away with THIS one.)

How is this hope and change’ working out for you?

It’s hard to comprehend all this guy has gotten away with.

What in God’s name is wrong with our government that they allow his guy

carte blanc. It absolutely boggles my mind.
