Exactly! The House Republicans would be wise to follow your advice on this.
The GOP should avoid any use of the "i" word for now. Just move the investigation along, and see where it goes.
Nixon was finished when the Senate Republicans started to desert him. Obama will be finished only if Senate Democrats start to desert him.
If the Senate Democrats stick with Obama regardless of the evidence, then, as you said, impeachment would be counterproductive.
I submit to you ... 13 current Senate Democrat 'seats' that are up for re-election in 2014 ... they should be very afraid of "sticking with 0bama" ....
