Impeachment is an inherently political act. It’s ok to say that while Obama deserves to be impeached, it’s still a dumb idea because it undermines the ability to actually effect political change by making arguments that can win.

That’s why I think us Conservatives need to cool it with the impeachment talk. While the House, controlled by the GOP can impeach, there’s no way that the Democrat Senate will vote to remove. And impeachment distracts from the economic arguments that Conservatives CAN ride to victory in this election.

People need to read up on their Uncle Remus. Particularly Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch. There’s a reason why Liberal commentators and news outlets are playing up the impeachment talk, making sure it gets widely publicized. And it’s not for our benefit.

You sound like the voice of reason but you're actually spreading more FUD on FR, subtly but thick. One fallacy in your reasoning: Many of us are not paying one whit of attention to liberal commentators and lamestream news outlets.

Then why are you posting on a thread about an article written by a Liberal commentator that was published in The Daily Beast?

Some of us have been calling for his impeachment ever since he stole the reelection. The only reason the left wing nuts are talking about it now, is because Palin called for it. They know Palin represents a bridge between moderate Republicans and hard core conservatives. She was after all selected by McCain to be his vice President. So the moderate Republicans will at least consider her thoughts.

Many of US aren’t paying attention to the media. But the mushy middle that actually decides elections DO. We tried to impeach Clinton, not only did we fail to get conviction it played poorly enough with the middle that the Dems actually managed to be the first party of the sitting president to gain seat in the second midterm in 100 years. Which put us on a path to have no useful majority when Bush won the presidency. An impeachment, especially an impeachment you already KNOW is going to fail (there’s simply no path to 67 senate votes) is a waste of time and energy that poisons the party in the eyes of the middle and give fuel to the other side. The federal government is a numbers game, a smart party works the numbers.
