IMPEACHMENT GOES MAINSTREAM
Breitbart ^ | November 14, 2014 | By Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/14/2014 12:50:54 PM PST by Jim Robinson

In July, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote a widely-publicized op-ed for Breitbart News. “Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president,” she wrote. “Without borders, there is no nation. Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.” Then, she dropped the bomb: “It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”

Believe it or not, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had actually suggested impeachment even earlier, this time over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap, in which the Obama administration freed five top-level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the alleged deserter. He stated, “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.” And Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said in March that Obama could be up for impeachment if he continued his “unconstitutional approaches” to immigration reform and Obamacare.

But it was Palin’s comments that drove ire. At the time, Palin’s critics leapt on the comments to suggest that Republicans more broadly were planning impeachment; House Speaker John Boehner immediately fired back, stating that he disagreed with Palin on impeachment.

There were some who defended Palin’s position – Mark Levin explained, “our country is being destroyed….Here’s the dead truth. Obama should be impeached, but he won’t be impeached. Obama should be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate, but he won’t be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate. Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitution.”

I visited Chile during the height of Pinochet’s Reign. No crime at all-zero, no graffiti, no litter, women could walk at night naked and absolutely no threat of rape.

Well when government proves itself unfit to govern and people prove unwilling to take responsibility for their actions or to handle freedom, there aren’t many potions left.

I would administer the oath myself to him as long as it got rid of Obama just that much quicker.

When I think about it, Norm, it is a miracle that the system the Founders bequeathed to us actually has lasted 238 years.

It was a unique system, and considering that world history is littered with the stories of failed empires, kings and governments, it created the most powerful nation ever known to mankind.

Now, the question is, can it endure a tyrant?

Tyrant? No problem. The idiots living in it? Nope.

Wow, that's just perfect.

You see me start a conversation about someone else about the concept of mud wrestling with a pig, and realize who you are........

Perfect.

Yea, I’d lash out to if I was a mental 5 year old.

Another perfect self admission and picture of yourself Norm, perfect one more time.

You get an A++, with some stickers and stars for that...

Small things are all you can process. It’s things like conservatism that throw you. So you gonna turn on Palin now that she called for a RINO hunt like you turned on your old PDS war buds too? Just curious.

While Obozo’s been gone this week - being made to play
dress-up and not feeling too important —— I’m concerned
about his behavior when he comes back. He’s going to be
extra pissy b!tchey...

Fear not. Plenty on the right have given their full faith in Mitch and Jonbon! We’re saved...really....

Not feeling saved? Me either. Blame the abject morons that sent RINOs back to DC expecting them to be something other than RINOs.

No, you misunderstood Normy, it's small, predictable minds like yours that are so easy to process.

And enjoyable to poke fun at........

You forget so easily Norm, that you're the one who turned on Palin, not me. She said to vote for Romney, because the stakes were so high. She, unlike you understood the evil consequences of staying home. Likewise with this past election, she works for a GOP majority, then celebrates the win, while you sit there like Eeyore countermandering every good thing she does and squeeling like a stuck pig (a mud wrestler par excellance....).

Yeah, I knew you wouldn't be able to handle what I just said........we'll all watch while you predictably won't deal with YOUR genuine countering the work of Gov Palin......

The US Constitution has only one remedy for removing an out-of-control president—impeachment.

If he really is out of control, then Congress simply needs to do its duty, as spelled out in the Constitution.

If he forces illegal alien amnesty on the nation through an executive order, he is OUT OF CONTROL.

There seem to be a lot of ‘conservatives’ bound and determined to help Bhoner and mitch here today. They gotta drive the ‘can’t’ meme for all it’s worth.

Gee. I wonder why we can’t get on the same page about anything. But don’t worry. They really want Barry gone. Really.
