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.”

Look how many right here on the furthest right of all sites follow the herd over the cliff every election. the general public is even worse. Make it a popular idea and they’ll scream for it. The problem is as always, no one will mention it out of fear they’ll have to actually do it when the wave breaks.

But it’s breaking anyway out of sheer weight.

I just posted this on another thread with respect to 'defunding' Obama's administration instead of 'impeaching' him directly. Defunding his administration has, in my opinion, a greater advantage to our probability of further gains in 2016. Being the target of impeachment gives him more of a soapbox to rev up his base than defunding would (a growing number of democrats approve of defunding). But, watch out, if we exercise that tactic with success, I would not put it past Obama's backroom handlers to gin up an attempt on his life leaving a false trail that points fingers toward "tea partiers", or "right wing radicals", or "ultra conservatives", etc. If I were Obama at this time, I would be very nervous about which team mate was at my six. I'd be pushing hard for an impeachment myself as it's far more conducive to a long and healthy life.

I felt it beneficiary to ping him since he’s convinced that poo-pooing impeachment is a sacrament. And that it will not happen.

Obama has already claimed power to make immigration law unilaterally, maybe he will claim the power to fund the government unilaterally too?

Defunding his administration...

Congress doesn't print the money or have it transferred into recipients' checking accounts. Congress just pretends they're the ones approving funds...as it was years ago.

Department of Treasury has the presses and is under the Executive Branch...and that would be O.

We could have last week but ‘conservatives’ knew better. They joined Charlie Sheen in WINNING! Look what they won.

Impeachment may be inevitable. Obama is out to bankrupt/destroy the USA. He won’t stop until he is stopped.
It will only get worse.

I always said people would have to feel enough pain. Eventually they will. It’s not man on a mountain wisdom. Just human nature.

Clinton was impeached. He was acquitted of the charges in the Senate.

Bring Pelosi up on charges for certifying the Kenyan in the first place. Then go after those who knew Obamacare was a fraud but voted for it anyway. Then go after those who participated in the other 400+ incidents of abuse.

Let Obama serve out his term with all his fellow statists in the slammer or shunned. In 2017 bring HIM up on charges.

Just direct them to the homes of Libs, Rinos AND THEIR VOTERS. That’s what I plan on doing. “These people promised to help feed you. Here’s the address.”.

I predicted months ago about June, 2015 would be about right to impeach Obama. Obama keep being the wrecking ball and do what he claims he’s gonna do.

Prove to the blacks that O always was, is, and will be a white man given birth by a white mother and raised by white grandparents and hiding behind a cadre of black politicians for his own white selfish enrichment, and the tide in America might change in time before we are overrun by Latinos and others not born here.

At least begin preparing Articles of Impeachment.

That will take at least a year, but will list item-by-item the crimes he has committed.

And the first thing to do is to subpoena that so-called "birth certificate."
