Of course not, but since when do facts matter to the teabagging crazy right??

There's a difference between them and the Congress.

Although, last semester, some local doctor called me up asking the College Republicans would help him pass out "Impeach Obama" stickers.  I told him I'd talk it over with the group, hoping that he'd just forget about me.  Unfortunately he didn't, so I ended up telling him that we didn't think Obama had done anything that warranted impeachment.  He went on and on for a good 20 minutes about how he was ruining the economy with his stimulus plans and his bailouts and blah blah blah.  I would've engaged in debate with him saying that none of those were "high crimes or misdemeanors," but I had something to do and was already trying to get off the phone with him.  I did tell him he could call our "rival" group at the time... they were more fringe and full of crazies.  Grin

The problem is some of them are running for Congress, and some are already there.  The GOP is moving further and further into the land of extremism, so nothing would really surprise me at this point.
Well, if you're asking, will we have a Dennis Kucinich-esque attempt at impeachment?  Sure, it's possible.  Will we have a legitimate attempt (I'm talking even just 15+ representatives)? No.

I'm sure the teabaggers will try it for some bullsh**t about healthcare reform "Obamacare" being "unconstitutional" or whatever, but I don't think the leadership would go along with it.

Signing and unconstitutional law isn't grounds for impeachment.

Because it worked out so great for them the last time.
Last time was a legitimate impeachment.  This would not be.

How so?  They trumped up a charge last time.  They could easily do it again.
Plus it keeps the focus off of their policy agenda.

Because Clinton actually committed perjury... Obama hasn't done anything.

Here is what I don't get: Once they realized there was nothing legit on Clinton--As in, nothing criminal in Travelgate or any of that stuff--Why did they go down the Paula Jones route? What were they hoping to accomplish?

They couldn't impeach him for cheating, so let's say he just came out and admitted he cheated with Paula Jones and Monica, what would they have done next?


Dropped it, if he would've just admitted it originally.

You don't think they would've kept at him, trying to find whatever else they could otherwise, for the rest of his presidency? I think they would've been to him like the FBI was with Gotti--They would refuse to stop until either something they got him, or until he was out of office. For the GOP Congress in the 90s, it wasn't just politics; it was somehow personal.

No.
