This is the correct route. There is absolutely no chance of Obama being impeached and removed from office as things stand currently.

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.

[b4its2late]

They’re afraid of their own shadows. I give up. I ain’t voting for anyone.

[windsorknot]

It is a sad state of affairs when impeachment is rejected as an option to deal with a lawless president. Damn the Dems and the GOP.

[Triple]

Exactly when *IS* a good time to these spineless weasels?

(not in golf season, not in cocktail party season, not in re-election season, not in go along to get along season, not during an important legislative season, not when we are facing a threat from al qaeda, not after...and not before...)

I think I have the solution to most of our problems:

It is time the citizens of the USA elected representatives, and not career politicians.

Let’s send as many career politicians packing as possible.

[PoloSec]

Well Excuse Me!

For the GOPe any ole EXCUSE will due.

[Theoria]

Complicit.

[morphing libertarian]

Then just cancel all of the hearings and faux investigations.

Remember the old stupid saying “If you’re getting raped lay back and enjoy it?” Fits todays repub congress.

[Thibodeaux]

There is a time to begin discussion and a time to act

Now is ok for discussion

[drypowder]

if an excuse is needed, any will do

John Stuart Mill, in an address at the University of St. Andrew (1 February 1867) : Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.///

This is what is happening now.

True.

But isn't this like taking the "military option" off the table in negotiations with an adversary?

While the decision might be wise, announcing it is stupid.

The Democrats began planning the impeachment and removal of Richard Nixon the day after he was re-elected with 520 electoral votes and 60.8% of the popular vote.

But, of course, they had balls and a strategy.

[Toespi]

If it hadn’t already been done, let’s intrepret what this really means.......

“would rally President Obama’s Democratic base”

Impeachment would rally Obama’s base upon which deadly RIOTS would consume the nation........the republicans would be held responsible for the destruction and mayhem because of their racist hatred towards the president. (This is the reality of what the republicans are facing, so we are much better off allowing him to remain in office and make an ass out of himself and the Democrats)

[SeaBiscuit]

Screw politics... enforce the rule of law.. Prosecute the commie bastard!

[AdaGray]

The Republicans should at least have the guts to loudly proclaim that he cannot be impeached because he is black and he knows it.

[DoodleDawg]

It’s sad when politics trumps the rule of law. But in D.C., regardless of party, politics trumps everything.

[ballplayer]

I won’t rant and rave,I am not naive,all I do is recall a saying that goes something like this,All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.
Hopefully the American doofuses who elected this America Hater will vote in the midterms to emasculated him,I seriously doubt it though,the democrats know his skin color makes him immune

[JimRed]

Waiting it out until Republicans control house and senate is the only smart move.

[NeoCaveman]

Agreed on all counts.

[Ron H.]

However, this realistic view will be ridiculed by the ignoramuses who will see the Republicans as caving.

Oh gee, how foolish to think our most highest elected politician should not be held to account for all the many laws he has broken. Thinking like yours is what empowers to turds to just keep on breaking our nations laws and sticking it to law abiding Americans. Why bother even having any laws?!

[usconservative]

This country is lost.

Long gone are the days of doing the right thing, for the sake of ....doing the right thing.

Unbelievable. No, scratch that, John Boehner is in charge in the House of Representatives.
