Proof: Democrats are far more obsessed with impeaching Obama than Republicans

It is next to impossible to come up with a more cynical political strategy than the Democratic Party’s current attempts to goad their Republican opposition into impeaching President Barack Obama. Facing what could be a disastrous midterm season, the party in control of the White House has fired every last shot they have in the effort to gin up enthusiasm among their base voters, and they have all but given up on governing in a manner which might elicit a positive response from the electorate.

Republicans, well aware of how impeachment backfired politically in 1998, are not biting. So, the Democratic Party’s last hope is to convince the press that Republicans are plotting in secret to impeach Obama but are just too savvy to talk about this intrigue in public. This tactic worked for about a week, and the closed population inside America’s newsrooms did seem convinced that House Republicans may introduce articles of impeachment at some point in the future.

Now, however, the evidence is so overwhelming that it is Democrats and not Republicans who are most desirous of impeachment that even the press cannot maintain the fiction that Obama is facing any serious threat from the House GOP.

According to a report in The Hill, since the beginning of the 113th Congress in 2013, Democrats have talked about impeachment 20 times more than have their Republican counterparts.

This is campaign rhetoric for Congressional candidates, say you disagree with Obama, or even hate him, to win the race. Sure, there are exceptions, but more than just a few would be exactly for this reason.

The only time in decades that the party in control of the White House didn’t lose seats in an off-year election was when Clinton was impeached.

Demos are begging for impeachment. They know the only chance of not losing seats is to take people’s eyes off the sorry job Obama is doing.

Well sure. It is fundraising and GOTV gold and the GOP handed it to them on a silver platter. I don’t need a chart to convince me of the GOP’s stupidity.

One of those VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY thingys you know...

I wonder how many of those Fox mentions were of the; "We need to impeach the SOB" vs. "look what the Democrats are saying about impeaching the President".

Remove the latter from the equation and that line flattens.

The Democrats MUST throw Obama under the bus before the next presidential election. If they try to uphold his fake exhalted status a republican president could ignore constitutional limits to the office and quash any criticism with "I'm just following in Obama's footsteps".

So yeah, Obama is going to be trashed from both sides of the aisle his last year in office, maybe even gleefully impeached. All part of the leftist plan...
