If impeachment were attempted, it would backfire and give the Democrats solid majorities in both Houses in the upcoming elections.
However, this realistic view will be ridiculed by the ignoramuses who will see the Republicans as caving.
Impeachment - OFF
Immigration Enforcement - OFF
ObamaCare Repeal - OFF
Budget Freeze - OFF
Debt Ceiling Freeze - OFF
Yes, indeed, it is "because they fear" - they are moral cowards who are coming right out and admitting that they are unworthy of their positions.
Nothing will come of this, ever. And the RINO’s shouldn’t worry, because the population already perceive them as being a bunch of weak suckups to the dems anyways. The dems are out for blood, and the RINO’s show restraint, and strongly worded, possibly scornful letters.
Fight fire with fire, forget impeachment, and push for criminal charges of treason and insurrection for obama and his minions.
Gutless wonders.
I agree.
Want to know why the GOP does nothing?
They smell a conservative, somewhere,
they can attack instead.
Before they can be “loyal opposition”, they have to oppose what’s going on....
We must not impeach Obama because it won't work and it will backfire.
We must agree to the Democrats budget because a 17% "shutdown" won't work and it will backfire.
We must agree to raising the debt ceiling because fighting it won't work and it will backfire.
Issue after issue we do nothing while the country is being destroyed.
How is that strategy working out for you smart guy?
Take back the Senate and then start impeaching those around him.
It MIGHT rally the Democrats.
That seems like a convenient excuse to maintain the status quo.
The moon might fall into us......doesn’t mean it will happen.
“All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.”
The one sure thing is if you do nothing, nothing will happen. Which is to say Obama will keep on doing something.
“However, this realistic view will be ridiculed by the ignoramuses who will see the Republicans as caving. “
Because you can’t spin the obvious truth. They are caving. Again. Considering your post history, siding with the GOP to avoid holding Obama to account is not shocking.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
And that's why we're in the predicament we are. Pubbies are lowlife, stinkin' cowards.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I’m with you. If we couldn’t remove Clinton for an OBVIOUS FELONY we’re not going to take down Obama on a foreign policy decision...certainly not with this Senate, and probably not even with a Senate that had enough Republicans to vote him out.
Just not going to happen and will BACKFIRE big-time.
But I wouldn’t mind seeing the Republicans USE THE COURTS to try to get Obama to follow the law in other areas - such as Health Care.
GOP fears everything. That is why our nation is in such a mess.
impeachment was never “on” for the GOPe
Take back the schools, stop dumbing down American students.
You ain't seen nothing yet! Well actually I think McCarthy is old enough to remember the 1960s.
The aged New Left 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue (Obama and younger members of his Administration) will have no problem using the "nuclear option" -- and I don't mean having their MSM screaming RACISM! 24/7 to protect their hold on power after decades of getting it.
Race riots.
I remember reading back in the 1960s that the inner city riots were fomented by these pukes. Here's something that's closer to today.
In 2000 the MSM were full of the phrase "the will of the people" vis-a-vis the Bush-Gore election controversy.
The Dems tried to spark deadly race riots (to enforce the "will of the people"?) but to his credit Al Gore stopped his Party's efforts.
A quote from one column (November 19, 2002) of Frum's I post often contains this (the quote is by Karenna Gore) and it's about the 2000 post-election day turmoil. It sure seemed to me that the Dems were ready to spark race riots -- which IMO the MSM would have demanded that Bush concede and bow to the "will of the people" (a phrase often included in MSM reports on the turmoil).
"He [Al Gore] said, 'We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness.' And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the … the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is."
Looks like NR moved (or deleted?) it. here's another source.
If you want Obama Impeached, vote against Senate DEMONCRATS
the house needs to DO ITS JOB and impeach... then let the senate defend his actions going into the election.
of course, NOT impeaching is a signal to the base that the GOP is fine with everything. at which point, the base won’t come out to vote and the dems win
I guess no matter what they do, 0bama wins. might as well stay home. /sarc
They’re afraid of their own shadows. I give up. I ain’t voting for anyone.
