I get it that they might want to stick it to the guy one last time. Ken Burch Jun 2014 #64

No they won't. How the fuck would they do that if they don't control cali Jun 2014 #3

after the election and before the new congress takes office randys1 Jun 2014 #7

On what grounds? They would need to make very specific legal accusations. Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #9

An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be.... Brother Buzz Jun 2014 #23

And I do not agree that a majority of the House would be able to agree on a specific accusation. Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #29

I do not disagree Brother Buzz Jun 2014 #31

and so what? I personally wish they would do it shortly befor the election themaguffin Jun 2014 #74

On the grounds of being President while Black groundloop Jun 2014 #48

Are you trying to argue that they will file charges against Barack Obama for being black? Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #52

I see some folks need a sarcasm tag even for the obvious groundloop Jun 2014 #72

What part of Lame Duck Session don't you understand? MohRokTah Jun 2014 #8

ooh, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. still a stupid as dirt prediction. Happy? cali Jun 2014 #10

There's the period between elections and assuming office Scootaloo Jun 2014 #54

I'm genuinely surprised they haven't already Prophet 451 Jun 2014 #5

Many Republicans would be willing to vote against impeachment. Gravitycollapse Jun 2014 #6

Very unlikely the GOP loses the House in Nov. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #11

Oh the GOP will lose the House in November 2014 underthematrix Jun 2014 #13

No one credible thinks the GOP will lose the House. former9thward Jun 2014 #20

So come Nov. 5th, will you apologize for being wrong? IronGate Jun 2014 #35

Do you believe any polls are reputable or legitimate? I'd appreciate any insight thanks.nt Mnemosyne Jun 2014 #36

Polls generally get it right, IronGate Jun 2014 #37

I'm still stinging from the exit polls in 2004. nt Mnemosyne Jun 2014 #42

Perfect case in point. IronGate Jun 2014 #59

Regardless of what the polls say, there is precedent for mid-terms Art_from_Ark Jun 2014 #39

Thanks Art. I would so love to see that precedent change and shock all the pols/polls. Mnemosyne Jun 2014 #41

Yes, you can dream Art_from_Ark Jun 2014 #43

I believe that in PA, with cross-filing allowed, many good Dem's voting for a straight ticket, have Mnemosyne Jun 2014 #44

The problem, if you will, with my district Art_from_Ark Jun 2014 #46

Does Arkansas have cross-filing? I've found it difficult to research many states on this issue in Mnemosyne Jun 2014 #47

If by "cross-filing" you mean "running as a candidate for 2 or more parties", Art_from_Ark Jun 2014 #58

Not one reputable poll indicated Cantor was going to lose his seat, either jmowreader Jun 2014 #63

I believe they are screaming "impeachment" just to plant the seed Frustratedlady Jun 2014 #14

Good movie plot... immoderate Jun 2014 #12

would be difficult without the majority votes samsingh Jun 2014 #15

The GOP will be the majority still. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #16

don't they have to get the senate to agree? samsingh Jun 2014 #17

The House impeaches. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #18

gotcha samsingh Jun 2014 #21

If they get the Senate, they'd convict on politics alone. This is not the same GOP as Clinton had. freshwest Jun 2014 #50

Takes a 2/3 vote in the Senate to convict. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #51

Well at least that won't happen... Thanks for the reminder. freshwest Jun 2014 #55

Someone would make the argument that it wouldn't carry over to the next session NYC Liberal Jun 2014 #19

They would be right, too. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #22

True. OTOH, it really didn't tarnish Clinton. NYC Liberal Jun 2014 #49

Except that the GOP WON'T lose the House...not even close. brooklynite Jun 2014 #24

They might as well. They're not doing anything else. NV Whino Jun 2014 #25

Doesn't seem likely to me because elleng Jun 2014 #26

What would be the point? Calista241 Jun 2014 #27

Tarnishing Obama's legacy. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #28

It would be obvious to everyone Calista241 Jun 2014 #30

ALL impeachments are political decisions made for political reasons with little basis in fact. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #32

Well, whatever Calista241 Jun 2014 #33

I wuldn't put their chance of losing the House at zero MohRokTah Jun 2014 #34

No they won't n/t Lil Missy Jun 2014 #40

Of course Egnever Jun 2014 #45

I find the lack of knowledge about politics being displayed here amazing. HERVEPA Jun 2014 #53

Absolutely. onenote Jun 2014 #73

That is ridiculous, they won't lose the House, the fix is in n/t doc03 Jun 2014 #56

The "fix" most definitely IS in, in the form of the districts we're stuck with Warren DeMontague Jun 2014 #60
