Just got this in the mail. I can't believe they are trying to file impeachment proceedings

for this president. I don't even know their reasons. Anyway here is the email.


A brand-new CNN poll shows Boehner's lawsuit getting CRUSHED in public opinion! By a 57-41 margin, Americans say Boehner and Republicans should NOT file their lawsuit.

But instead of stopping their attacks, Republicans are doubling down! A GOP-run committee just voted 7-to-4 to advance the lawsuit, and a top White House aide says Boehner has even "opened the door" to impeachment!

Taking this fight to the states and holding Republicans accountable for this extremism is the ONLY way to stop Boehner's lawsuit and derail the Tea Party's march to impeachment. A group of generous donors has agreed to TRIPLE-MATCH all grassroots donations for the next 24 hours to help Democrats go on offense:

Please donate


Boehner is moving forward with his lawsuit, but the voters are on our side. Now it's ESSENTIAL that we keep up the pressure and stop this extremism. Please donate $10 now to stand with President Obama and defeat the Tea party.

Sincerely,

Michael Sargeant
Executive Director
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee

P.S. MSNBC reports that "donations to the left have skyrocketed" since Boehner announced his lawsuit, and Republicans are PANICKING. Please rush $10 now to stop the Tea Party.

The lawsuit is idiotic, but there is no way that even Boehner is stupid enough to try to impeach the president.

NOTHING is off the table.


They'd have the impeachment proceedings drawn up the first day Congress was in session.

there is no fucking way that the Senate, even if the Republicans gain a majority, will vote to convict. Hell, I hope they try it! If you thought the Republican brand couldn't sink any lower, wait and see what happens if the stupid bastards try to remove the President from office.

And that Obama was taking seriously the risk of impeachment proceedings.

But the lawsuit is not the same as impeachment proceedings.

The lawsuit is in a court. The Executive might win or lose. If it loses, it can appeal or comply. Or create a mess by ignoring the courts.

Impeachment is in the House, and, really, isn't the same as a trial and removal from office.

They want to impeach Obama worse than they wanted to impeach Clinton, and they wanted to impeach Clinton so much they started investigating him the second his hand was off the Bible in 1993 and didn't stop investigating until a year after Bush moved into the White House. Hell, they even talked about impeaching Clinton over the Marc Rich pardon AFTER CLINTON LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE!
