Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Should impeachment be a campaign issue?

yes, but it is on his record in history from that day forward

Conrad,

Romney is the essence of progressive and you LOVE him. In fact, Romney is more liberal that Hillary. In fact, Romney might just be more liberal than Obama.

Personally, I'm surprised, in today's political climate, that someone hasn't shot Obama. Mostly glad they haven't, because that would have really set the pot boiling. I want him out, but foolishly dream of having him forced out in disgrace, and all of his background uncovered and fully disclosed. Making him pay the country back for some of the funds he's wasted would be nice, also.

Like I said, dreaming.

I have a friend who is a yella dawg Demo, he still worships Clinton, refuses to acknowledge the impeachment, or anything else.

As if he gives a chit.. It sure hasn't slowed the old bastid down, now, has it?? I don't think his earnings have dropped to zero. He's not in jail. Still looked on as quite favorable by all the Dems and half the GOP..

Yep - that REALLY hurt ol' Bubba...

My dream is having the pilot of AF-1 take one for the team... Only problem is, the AIC and Mooch are never on board by themselves...

Yeah - that's MY dream...

I don't think so...

No, there is no issue that the country will back as an impeachable offense. Then there is the idea that Senate would need to bring � to trail to remove him from office. It won't happen. That would damage the GOP far more than help the country. � has too many vocal and organized supporters i.e. minorities, GLBT, unions, etc. that will go to bat for him and turn any such movement into a fiasco.

Best you can hope for is a GOP sweep in the House and Senate and stall his progressivism.

Correct to the max.. The AIC could murder and rape a dozen nuns in a convent and he'd not get so much as a slap on the wrist. Correct again. Reid will NEVER allow that in a zillion years - even if the AIC had every member of Reid's family executed. That...

Ouch!

Now that is going to leave a mark! Are you ready for the $hit these ding bats are about to throw at you? Lock up your dog and hide your children!

Campaign issue? No

After the election and presumably with the RNC controlling both houses of Congress? Yeah, go for the throat and watch him bleed like a stuck pig.

Now Not Time To Impeach Obama, But Let Voters Indict Him

President Clinton apologizes to the nation from the Rose
Garden on Dec. 11, 1998, after his impeachment

Impeachment: Now is not the time to launch the
Constitution's remedy for President Obama's unprecedented
lawlessness. Now is the time to stand aside and let Democrats
receive the much-deserved wrath of voters.

Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, on a nighttime inspection of the
border with author Jerome Corsi of WorldNetDaily, said:
"President Obama is begging to be impeached," as he mulls
letting "five million illegal immigrant kids and teenagers into
the United States."

According to Stockman, Obama's "senior advisers believe that is
the only chance the Democratic Party has to avoid a major
electoral defeat" this November.

"Impeachment," Stockman believes, "could motivate the Democratic
Party base to come out and vote" in an off-year congressional
election that looks bleak for that party, with the Senate set
to change over to Republican control as the GOP retains the
House.

In considering the gravity of impeachment, a careful look at
history is a must.

President Andrew Johnson's impeachment in 1868 was followed by
his acquittal in the Senate by a margin one vote short of the
two-thirds majority needed. Johnson had defied a law on cabinet
appointments that was ultimately determined to be
unconstitutional, and was repealed by Congress even before it
was found so. His impeachment was undeniably a politicized
extension of the nation's Civil War divide.

The case against President Clinton was far stronger, there being
no doubt he violated the law, committing perjury in grand jury
testimony regarding the Monica Lewinsky scandal. But neither of
his articles of impeachment ended up getting even a simple
majority, although the vote was 50-50 that Clinton had
obstructed justice.

Because of his obvious guilt, many members of Congress 15 years
ago believed impeaching Clinton was the right thing to do, even
if the Senate ultimately acquitted him. They believed his
presidency deserved that indelible blemish.

Right now, impeaching Obama would backfire on Republicans; a
majority of senators is absolutely impossible, let alone the
two-thirds needed for conviction and removal from office. And
Democrats have already begun raising substantial money by
publicizing GOP itchiness to impeach.

Next year, if Republicans do gain a Senate majority, two-thirds
in favor of throwing Obama out of office will still be
unlikely. But a majority of senators in favor will be possible.

That would mean most senators, "on Oath or Affirmation," as the
Constitution demands, not only voting to remove the president
for breaking our nation's laws, but also voting in favor of
Obama's "disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of
honor, Trust or Profit under the United States."

As with Clinton, it may well be the right thing to do � when the
time is right. For now, it is time to let the voters show how
they feel about the mess Obama and his party have put the
country in, much of it the result of lawbreaking and deceiving
the public.

NO, the Repubs should not be running with impeachment as a campaign issue - it would only serve to mobilize the leftists to fully engage their voting fraud system.

Bingo.

It is for the Dems... and it is working

We should have kept our moths shut until after the election

Well no help now

Here is the result

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/29/boehner-rules-out-impeachment/

Building the case for Impeachment should and no doubt will be a major issue for the next 100 days until the election.

First order of business in the new House after the first of the year should Articles of Impeachment.
Then the new GOP Senate can lay those papers on Obama's desk. Tell him that after he lost all those seats in the election...it ain't looking good...

When Goldwater and company did that to Nixon, he stepped down rather than go under oath to face those charges.
Those charges were a lot less than what they could bring against Obama.
And Nixon was a lot tougher politician than Obama.
Even now Obama looks like someone who just wants to cover his head and make it all go away.

Joe Biden could be president in six months.

The only thing obvious is the impossibility. Impeachment via the House is simple as in simple majority. Conviction, as in throw the bum out, is not so simple in the Senate as it takes a super majority. We may win back the Senate but not with the margin necessary to convict the traitor.

Nixon was caught by hard evidence (the tapes) that he was involved in a crime. So far such evidence has not surfaced in O's case.

There clearly is a cover up going on related to the IRS targeting. The GOP should state as such, and without a lot of drama, list off the scandals. And state, "support us so we can get to the bottom of these matters". Assuming they win the Senate, then have Lerner (and any other stooges) arrested & offer immunity. Then see what shakes out. In the process, quietly remind the press that the Dems wiretapped & harrassed reporters and sources (like Nixon).

Patience friends, patience. And we can leave the left badly damaged for a generation.

We don't need tapes...
Sarah Palin stirred this all up and she has said that "impeachment is the Constitution�s answer for a derelict, incompetent presidency, as well as for a lawless imperial presidency. Both describe the unprecedented problem we have with Obama"

The SOB will quit before he goes before the Senate with all those new Republicans and those Democrats who survived his total mess.
Those that even now won't do a meet & greet with him when he come to their state.
He has lost much of the press and bottomed out at about 40 percent with the people.
After the election...IMPEACH THE SOB!

If Obama ain't Impeachable...dig up Nixon...clean him up a bit and give him back his old job..with full apologies.
