We need to start planning impeachment hearings on obama

[DoLoop]

Nixon resigned after the house recommended impeachment. Thus results.

Obama can resign too.

Nixon resigned after Barry Goldwater told him his chances in the Senate were "grim" and that he could count on no more than 15 Republican votes for acquittal in the Senate if the House impeached.

I'm pretty sure a politicized impeachment of Obama is nothing but bad, bad news for Republicans.

Ok people.

In 1974, there was STRONG BI-PARTISAN support, both publicly and politically for Nixon's impeachment and his conviction in the Senate was a certainty.

This may have escaped everybody here.

We just reelected the man. That doesn't tend to indicate approval for impeachment. The Democrats fully support him, unlike 1974, when Republicans turned on Nixon.

Fact. Republicans don't control and will never control 67 Senate seats needed for conviction.

Fact. An impeachment would appear to the general public like sour grapes and generate backlash from the public.

Obama won. Get over it.

Beat me to it and better said.

As bad as I felt about Obama getting a second term, I can't imagine how Tyrone Woods' family must have felt to see America voting this man in for another term. I wish that family peace (it if it possible to have any).

Well, it worked out so well the last time, you can see why they would want to do it again.

I don't think getting him impeached is the problem. Get the American people knowledgeable about what happened and let them get outraged. Trust me, A LOT of people have no idea what happened as much as we do. Even those I've debated and talked politics with have told me they have heard almost nothing about it. Inform the people and then we'll decide where to go from there.

Clinton was impeached by the House. The Senate did not impeach him.

Clinton was impeached by the House. The Senate did not remove him from office.

I'm also concerned about the liberal attitude with this, in that you say we'll need 67 republican seats in order to get him impeached. This isn't about party. Obama could have blatantly allowed those people to die, and flat out lied to the American people about it. It's criminal. I can't understand the mentality that democrats won't allow him to be impeached if he was guilty of that. I would hope that even democrats would be able to overlook party and realize how wrong Obama and his people handled that. If not, what kind of people do you have representing you in the senate?

it's not going to happen.

not so long as the mealy mouthed mental midget is minding the senate.

bad enough prose?
practicing to be a Dem

Mealy mouth will be around, but I'm getting curious about who might want a way out of the administration. We know Hillary is going - there's talk of Holder too... any others? I think more than one might be tired of the nature of this presidency and having to deal with all the crap.

too many American people won't listen... but the racist cries will be louder than every, and the claims will be that we couldn't vote him out so we keep attacking him.

Ya... I think you're right on this one. Even rattling that sabre sounds risky to me.

In this modern era of communication and the internet I don't think the claim "voters didn't know" rings hollow. Let's be honest, they know but don't care.

Why don't they care? Is it because they now can brag about a "cool" President? What does it take to find out cool isn't enough? It's good to be respected, but to be liked? Anyone can be liked, not everyone can be respected. It's too easy to not care especially when it doesn't hurt yet. When we have people running around throwing molotov cocktails because of welfare cuts, let's talk about having a "cool" President.

Keep an eye on California. We are the canary in the coal mine. Once things start popping here, New York and New Jersey won't be too far behind. The economy in CA is tilted, you can't spend more than you take in for long and the seams are starting to show.

When you've been shown to be wrong on everything political you should always always double down.

put benghazi in the news.. please for the love of god can we get a republican who has the you know what to hold these hearings.. get the information out so the cover up by these liberal dog can be exposed then start impeachment hearings against him. i wish the republicans would go after obama on the missed opportunity of the election. The goal should be to get his sorry ass out of office.. then we could have biden president which would be hilarious.. we can give him a few bits of drink and pretend hes speaking to the prime minister of russia when its actually the janitor..

Democrats lack the character and care for the good of the nation to ever impeach a Democrat.

Nixon was forced to resign by Republicans.
