They’re already flipped the suicide switch. It’s only a matter of time now.

Meanwhile, history for the foreseeable future will say that Obama was a “transformational” president, the first black president, that he was elected and re-elected by the people, despite pernicious opposition from conservative racists who were constantly harrassing him, doing things like impeaching him, just because he’s black. And most people will believe it.

As I say, it’s better to just let him finish his term. Investgate the scandals -all of them- and let those chips fall where they may. But impeachment? Suicide.

Eric, that’s why Demoncrats like to talk about reset buttons. They actually have one tailor engineered for their cannonfodder zombies. They push it every few days. And it works. We all know it “works”, even though we may not agree on the details.

The power of the Left is not in their political power, vote buying, numbers, wealth, propaganda, or how many seats they hold in DC. In my view, the power of the Left was far more insidious, sinister, and more durable than that. The power to raise zombies like a necromancer. The power to program them like suicide bombers are programmed. The power to make people Believe that which sane people cannot believe. All of that, is part of the power, but not the whole.

Breaking the back of the Leftist alliance’s power will require something most people cannot dare imagine.

And Wolla Dalbo, I agree too many years in Washington has its own corrupting effect.

I think being around groups of people have the same corrupting effect, though lesser in intensity. More people, more insanity, the faster it spreads. Like urban fiefdoms and cities.

If you want to attack Obama, the best place is to go for his weaknesses, his enforcers. Nukes and bombs and .50 caliber assassin bullets are better suited for decapitation operations.

All the political bribes and favors that would go into an impeachment bill would be better used to get rid of Demoncrat pawns at the lower levels. Without soldiers, an army general can’t do much by himself.

I disagree, although I understand where you’re coming from. I think that is too idealistic an approach. In reality, I think it would backfire because the backlash would be ferocious, and it would play into Obama’s hands to no purpose and make him a martyr.

And most people would gloss over the substance: the list of limits placed on the president’s power. It’s in the Constitution already; if they were interested, they would read and study that. If the lesson is couched in an attack on Obama, it will have the opposite effect.

He also will not be impeached because he could never be convicted in the Senate. The votes are simply not there, no matter what Obama has done or will do.

So I don’t think the House would even try. What’s more, I don’t even think there are enough votes in the House to impeach him. And why should there be, because it would be an exercise in futility if the Senate wouldn’t convict.

One of my many quarrels with the Clinton impeachment was that it was uselessly divisive because the votes were not there to convict (two-thirds are needed).

On the other hand, Nixon probably would have been impeached because even Republicans would have voted to do so and to convict. That’s why he resigned; he knew that. Democrats will never vote to impeach or to convict Obama, never (except perhaps for a few, I suppose—but never enough to convict).

The missus thinks that people’s memories are short and that they will quickly forget, but I don’t think that a bazillion pictures of that friendly bear are going to undo that damage that has been done–in just a few short days–to the image of those Park Service Plice/Rangers.

Obama has done countless impeachable offenses. Like the infamous tyrants of history, the audience is left stunned.

If the Senate is lost — and Benghazigate unfolds — Barry has to genuinely fear impeachment and conviction.

Unlike you, he really knows his crimes. (Think Macbeth.)

Should the Democrats EVER wake up and realize that Barry is destroying the Democrat Party (Note DNC poverty — he’s bleeding it into his own OFA.) they can round on him.

Biden would have to be part of the package. The mud would rise that high — and his drinking would make him unacceptable.

(Shades of John Tower.)

Hence, the Speaker wants to be there for any rescue — rather like the bland, nice, Gerald Ford.

The Obamacare poll tax is going to cause MAJOR losses come 2014. Remember what happened in 2006. It’s a tradition for Presidents to lose support six years in.

Behind the scenes Barry has been dis-invited by Beijing. They’re getting antsy about their Treasury holdings. When Barry punks the American economy it directly cripples the Red Chinese economy — which is in real trouble.

We may well see civil wars breaking out in America, Red China and Russia — as Barry blows up the US Dollar.

In all history none of the “experts” have ever seen a currency crisis coming. Just ask Greece, Cyprus, Argentina….

A tax of this magnitude ought to cause a fantastic contraction in global GDP. It’s deflationary against all middle class labor. Once underway, the death spiral of layoffs starts breaking very, very, bad.

Barry would be sitting there paralyzed, pushing back twice as hard on a string.
