The genius of impeachment

Freepers respond to Congressman Michael Burgess being asked at his Town Hall meeting "Why haven't you filed to impeach the president yet?"

Partisans always want the President impeached, sometimes even when he is of their party. Freepers are no different, though they like to pretend to be somewhat politically astute and practical.

McBuff - Impeachment is the Manly Course:

Here's what the Congressman needs to know: Character is about doing what is right. . .not doing something based upon a prediction of results.

The Congressman did nothing but make Boehner-like excuses. ."we can't get er done". . "Wahhhh. .Waaaahhhh". . What a bunch of wusses!! If this guy had been faced with the decision whether or not to sign the Declaration of Independence, I'm sure he would have been peeing in his pants over George III and his big army. . thank God there were real men in 1776!

I say fire the wuss and replace him, on the spot, with that young man asking the question.

gspurlock vastly overestimates the population of Freepers:

A point that was not yet made is that if the articles of impeachment were submitted and there was a tidal wave of support from the populace, it would have tremendous impact, even if it does not pass in the Senate.

goodwithagun sees no downsides!

We already have enough laws. What else does CONgress have to do other than start the proceedings? Let the Senate fail to impeach after all the “phony” scandals are publicly discussed. Hell, worst case scenario is the House stops spending money for a while as they work on this.

Utilizer dosn't have much to say about impeachment, but he has a lot to say about what tools black people are!

At the risk of being tagged with a most unfortunate label, I believe the most obvious answer is because it would most probably launch an instant Race War in the USA.

With very, very few exceptions most blacks I knew personally enough to get a straight answer from when I asked them why they voted for obama simply answered bluntly " 'Cause he black." It did not matter that he was only partially of african descent, it only mattered that he had a very good chance to achieve the office with the best ancestral credentials and political positions that appealed to most blacks.

OJ simpson was ruled not guilty of murder. Blacks throughout the nation were hysterical with joy. Non-blacks were stunned at the verdict. And the likely possibility of blacks rioting in every major city was averted for the moment.

Aaron hernandez is being charged with at least one count of murder, but in his case he might actually have a valid verdict come down in his case because Hispanics are not known for rioting, at least to any large extent, when a hispanic goes to prison. I will leave others to speculate as to why that is.

Most understand that (o)bam-a will sail through both of his current terms and most probably more afterwards with no one daring to threaten him, partly because he is a chicago thug in truth and plays by their "rules", partly because he can, like b.Clint(o)n did, use every agency in existance to go after anyone that annoys him, and finally because when you get past everything else...

"He black."

ROCKLOBSTER thinks pissing off Obama is reason enough:

To what end?

To tie the Kenyan Marxist packer up in knots, inundating him with millions of pages of subpoenas, weeks of damaging testimony from tons of unexpected witnesses, causing hundreds of sleepless nights and an unavoidable flood of news stories to be covered by the foreign press who hate him.

Thus slowing his ability to wage war on the American People.

Next question Congressman?

Nachum doesn't believe in the 2016 election:

For the DemocRATs, this was a strong motivation to put him in the Oval office. "Race War' is a wonderful threat for them to use. The DemocRATs have cowed the opposition from doing their duty and prosecuting them all like the riff raff criminal gangsters they truly are.

We are going to have this fight over him sooner or later. Better now than later.

mosesdapoet copypastas a huuuuge screed about why Obama persecuted Zimmerman. Here's a bit of it:

Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom you’ve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard who’s doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..But his last name sounds “jewish.”Who’s doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where there’s been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area he’s patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course he’s white.That person he’s watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 165 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Ain’t that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think it’s too far fetched ? Think it’s not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts

This is a thing - Freepers tying the Zimmerman trial into all their favorite conspiracy theories.

grumpygresh - if you start pushing for impeachment now, you'll be all set by 2070!

The Left has been trying to pass socialized medicine since Truman in the late 40s, that’s a lifetime away. And now they are on the threshold of succeeding. Too bad they didn’t say “to what end” and complain about all of the votes and efforts. The simple fact is that in politics, you must be on the offense and take the initiative to be successful. I realize that of course Harry Reid would never consent to impeachment. But, by staying on the offense, you open up other possibilities for other policy initiatives and weaken your opponent’s credibility.

butterdezillion thinks impeachment will confirm all her speculations:

The House subpoenas records and the Obama regime just ignores it and keeps doing whatever they want. The only way we will ever get access to evidence on Benghazi or any other subject is through impeachment. Accuse Obama of crimes outright and then the evidence can be compelled. If he obstructs justice in the impeachment trial hit him with impeachment on obstruction of justice charges.

kabar doesn't care about the political fallout:

"Politics is the art of the possible."

This goes beyond politics. It is a matter of right and wrong.

kabar also knows you gotta act fast before the Mexicans come!

Time is not on our side. The rapidly changing demographics will make the Dems the permanent majority party. We may have already reached a tipping point judging by the 2012 election results. We have entered the era of tribal politics.

Future Snake Eater think Obama is too evil to impeach.

Did the Germans get rid of Hitler themselves through reasoned evidence and trial proceedings?
