The GOP is coming to get Our President

[UCmeNdc]

The cards all line up. The GOP is out to Railroad both President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

[LongTomH]

1. It's about time for Mr. Obama to get in touch with his inner FDR

"I welcome their hatred!"

[truebluegreen]

2. +1000

[MBS]

19. ditto n/t.

[msongs]

3. this assumes he actually has an "inner FDR" nt

[woo me with science]

33. +100000

Utter delusion.

[Turbineguy]

4. Do they remember all the powers they gave Bush?

I hope they like shit sandwiches.

[kardonb]

17. politics 2013

they are scared shitless , and are crapping allover themselves !

[Lasher]

5. Maybe he should invite them all to dinner at the White House.

And he could play golf with them. Then they all would want to be his pals, I'll bet.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. It could be their last supper

[Botany]

6. And the media is helping them too ....

.... ABC, CBS, & NBC all had crap on about the made up the "Obama crisis and cover up
of the attack on the US mission in Benghazi," this AM. I skipped it when I saw they were
going to interview Darrel "car thief and arsonist" Issa. This whole thing is just like White
Water in the fact that they are on a mission to hamstring and hurt President Obama @
all costs. Get beaten in a landslide? Fuck it bring on Issa and Lindsey Graham to be
full time dill weeds and dick heads.*


* Sorry to all of the dill weeds and dick heads out there.

8. Do people realize how much I rant about today's "liberlly-biased media"?

You are giving me a prime example.

[Parable Arable]

7. Let Them Try...

It may not spell the total end of the party but it damn well will accelerate it. I mean, what congressional members outside of the Republican party will actually go along with an impeachment attempt?

[sweetapogee]

9. not picking on you per se...

But did you happen to catch Dennis Kucinich on the tube today?

[Parable Arable]

11. Well yes.. I apologize for forgetting Kucinich

I guess I was operating under the presumption that any progressives that had incredibly large grievances with this administration would make a case for impeachment on the grounds of a bigger issue. But yes, I forgot Kucinich. Thank you for correcting me on that count.

[Bluenorthwest]

23. Not picking on you per se but Kucinich is not a member of Congress

The question was about members of Congress. Got any of those you can name? I don't.

[Doctor_J]

16. The end of the GOP?

Please pass whatever you're smoking. As long as they own the media they will continue to get stronger and more abrasive

[Parable Arable]

18. I apologize...Allow me to correct myself.

You are correct, we sadly have a long way to go before they are gone... It probably won't be in the next decade, maybe not even within the next 2 either.I was hoping and it might be a big hope, that withing 3-5 decades the core of their philosophies will basically be rendered obsolete. If they roll the dice and lose on this whole Benghazi impeachment attempt thing, then I'm hopeful that it's another nail in the long term coffin that they are building for themselves. However, I do agree with you, the control they exude over the media is indeed, a pressing concern, as it slows down the process.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Hey guys,thanks for keeping this topic going.

Now this is what the real NEWS is. Every time we hammer the medias False Equivalency theories and Mems,we piss them off and in time they will have to change. I know,I know,we just have to keep the pressure on. Every damn time we challenge these so called Journos,they do something really stupid. And there are no known cures for stupid.

The next day after Mr. Obama was elected in 2008,we received a E-Mail from a Rethug operative in Mn 6 claiming a start to this Impeachment shit. Didn't laugh,knew full well the game was on. This turd tried to do in Clinton,but that went south on him and his millionaire buds.

Couldn't make it in talk radio or politics,typical sack of shyst.

[stevenleser]

12. Yup, and I predicted this in August of 2010

[onenote]

28. My reading of your article is that you predicted they would try to impeach

before the 2012 elections. (You suggest one of the reasons for the impeachment effort would be to hamper the president's election prospects).

[stevenleser]

29. No, that was not my contention. I didn't have a time limit.

If they did try to impeach before election 2012, that would have been the reason. I think one of the reasons they opted to hold off is because they thought they could win that election without resorting to impeachment. If Obama would have been perceived to have an insurmountable lead 12 months out, they might have considered it.

I thought it more likely they would do it if he won re-election.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. The wheels will come the GOP train soon

I am sure there will be more GOP scandals

[Sunlei]

15. what do you mean the gop IS coming?. The glop have nagged the President and Mrs Clinton for years.

Noone believes or trusts any republican. They have not done one positive thing for America or Americans in decades.

[blkmusclmachine]

20. Meh.

I'm sure O can work his bipartisan charm.

[davidpdx]

21. I was saying this before the election

They are playing the same game they did a decade and a half ago.

[workinclasszero]

22. Great. Maybe the President will start acting like Truman and FDR

The fucking teabag republicans are the enemy of every American who loves this country! They are bent on destroying anything that benefits workers and the middle class. We should fight the traitorous bastards with all our might!

Fuck bipartisanship! What did that get you prez and Hillary? A trumped up BS railroad job, that's what!

The teabag scum are pissing their pants in fear of a Hillary Clinton run at the presidency and the racist pricks always hated O for the color of his skin.

Lets start acting like DEMOCRATS for once! Or roll over for your new masters, the Koch brothers and the nazi tea party!

[santamargarita]

24. Impeachment is in their treasonous bag of tricks...

they use everytime they can't steal an election!

[Robbins]

25. GOP

I predicted back In 2010 If Republicans took the house they would be pushing impeachment.I am only surprised It didn't happen In
2011,2012.

Even If the House votes partyline to impeach Obama he will be accureted by senate.Republicans from more Dem leaning and battleground states might not want attack ads with them going about how they took part In Obama witchhunt from Maine,PA,Ohio.NH,
amd Illinois(Kirk could be done for 2016 If he voted to remove Obama from Office)

It takes 67 votes to remove a president In Senate.Even If Republicans took the senate In 2014 you won't get 10 to 15 Democrats voting to remove Obama from office.

This Is more about hurting Hillary's 2016 chances.But,If they can hurt Obama's standing too they will do It.

[stevenleser]

30. As I wrote above, I think they might have tried if his reelection seemed inevitable.

I think January 2012 came and he looked vulnerable so they held off.

[BlueCaliDem]

26. And corporate media are all lined up to ensure the Republicans can get the WH and Senate back.

What's missing from the Benghazi non-scandal meme, are reporters who are willing to put the argument forward that while Duhbya was in the WH, the Republicans retained power in Congress from the moment he was inaugurated until two years before the end of his second term. The question then should be, "Why didn't you bring these types of hearing up during Bush's years regarding the 13+ terrorist attacks on our embassies and consulates, and the 50+ people who died?"

That would shut down Issa's political witch-hunt in a nano second. Instead, they're letting this asswipe pontificate as much as he wants on the Sunday shows {broadcast most widely} in order to frame the narrative that Obama and the Democrats are weak on national security.

I'm so fucking sick and tired of this shit. I do hope that the few Liberals we have on MSNBC will point this salient fact out.

[freedumb]

27. oh well. the democrats had their chance to investigate the bush administration

over very real and legitimate wrongdoings... and they didn't do one single teeny tiny itsy-bitsy thing, so boohoo.

[TeamPooka]

31. and that legitimizes the fake witch hunts of the GOP? Interesting.

[freedumb]

32. unfortunately, yes. when people allow a fake war to continue, that fake war is legitimized.

so vice versa: when republicans don't allow a non-issue to go away, that non-issue becomes an issue.

don't get me wrong: i'm frustrated by the above fact, but that's pretty much how it goes. don't overestimate the American people...
