    The Right is in a paradox.

    Obama hatred, i.e. pushing for impeachment, helps the Dems and hurts the GOP.

    But without talk of impeachment, the "evil criminal" Obama will go "unpunished" and that means their entire sense of "cosmic justice" even their faith in God might be challenged.

    It's a very real and very LOCAL version of this-

    Have you ever considered the possibility that your problem is personal in nature?

    If Obama starts granting amnesty I think it would establish why the GOP could not trust him with a blank check. People who are assuming that more unilateral action by Obama will be good for Obama are being silly.

    Uh..no; DEMOCRAT LIES are becoming the "best fund raisers that the Democrats have at their disposal", as the IMaginary Impeachment Fund Raiser proves.

    This is the dilemma that a political party encounters when they pander to fools in order to win elections.

    You simply can't convince the fools to keep their mouths shut in public. ;)

    But obviously you'd still oppose impeachment, Rainbow Crow, right?

    You're not part of the "Democrat's scam", right???

    But you can certainly sucker them into sending you money to defend against an IMAGINARY IMPEACHMENT, as this thread, and others, so aptly illustrate.

    Hilarious.

    And now the poor guys are being told to say stuff that is not only contradictory to FACTS (a la Palin and King and other REPUBLICANS calling for impeachment...not "Democrats").....

    but contradictory to their own Obama-hating natures, which now must be stomped on and silenced because....it's hurting the Republican Party.

    Karma...it IS a bi'ach, huh? :)

    Still trying to LIE ABOUT/IGNORE the "IF OBAMA GRANTS AMNESTY" caveat, we see.

    Of course, just addressing the ACTUAL FACTS only reveals what a dupe/promoter for the Imaginary Impeachment Scam you've been, so who can blame you?

    I am a Liberal Democrat, and a Social Democrat.

    if Obama issued an EO giving amnesty to adults who came here illegally as adults, I will support his impeachment.

    Well if you can prove what I say is wrong, I might agree with you.



    “In 1986 Senator Kennedy said, ‘This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.’

    Contact Congress and tell them no citizenship

    I don't really have an opinion on impeaching Obama at this point, I can see arguments on both sides. He is certainly a bad President who shirks precedent in his use of executive power.

    Grok, is eleison part of the "Democratic scam" too???



    Referencing my avatar, Grok now reminds me of the classic Trek episode "The Changeling"....when "Nomad" a robot is forced to face conflicting orders and actions it has committed and is driven insane to the point of self-destruction.

    Forced to parrot a GOP line that "Impeachment talk is a Democratic scam"....

    he's now having to contradict beloved Rightwing figures like Palin, Steve King, Louis Gohmert...as well as FELLOW rightwingers who support impeachment....as well as the facts of history from just LAST WEEK (when Glacier Gidget started calling for impeachment).

    Party Loyalty forcing him to attack Fellow Rightwingers.....and then the robot explodes. Almost sad, really.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sorry, RC...you CANNOT support impeachment....otherwise you'd be a part of the "Democratic scam".

    You either oppose it....or you admit you are an operative of the DNC. :)

    I learned long ago that it's impossible to prove anything to members of the faith based community.

    No, you can't.

    Grokmaster says all talk of an Obama impeachment is "imaginary" and part of a "Democratic scam"....so either you'd be part of a Democratic "scam".....or you aren't real.

    That's an easy way out. I know you can't disprove anything I've said because I don't lie and I try very hard to get facts before posting. Not that I don't make mistakes some times, but I do try very hard to be correct in what I say. If I am just going to be a mouth piece for the Party, it gives me no credibility

    Then shut the hell up and provide evidence for the charges that you laid against your President.

    I think what he meant was a "virtual" impeachment. Meaning the Democrats will lose so many seats in Congress if Obama grants Executive Amnesty, he might as well be impeached. Because he will hand the Republicans an over 60% veto proof majority in Congress. This why when Congress passes a law, Obama veto's it and his veto is overridden anyway. At that point he might as well not even be there.

    I'm not ya'all understand the ramifications of that. A national Voter ID can be passed along with a bill that voids any executive amnesty granted prior to January 2015. Obama would veto them and Congress would simply override the veto and they'd be law.

    That's always true when one has NO proof, only opinion and rhetoric.

    Consider yourself on the 'impeachment bandwagon'........'cause that is exactly what Obummer is gonna do........amnesty and an employment card for all illegals who have a USC kid........which pretty much covers most of the Hispanics.

    By Rebecca Shabad

    Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Wednesday he's not trying to impeach President Obama, but he warned White House against staying on its current course for immigration.

    “I am not pushing impeachment. What I am doing is trying to deter the president from violating the Constitution in a way I have never seen in the history of this country,” King said on CNN’s “New Day.”

    King said Obama is “taunting Congress” by telling lawmakers on Capitol Hill he wants a certain law passed, and then taking executive action to implement it if Congress does nothing.

    “I want the president to operate in a lawful manner, in a constitutional manner,” King said, but he suggested there would be consequences if Obama decided to grant amnesty to people who have crossed into the United States illegally.
    Last weekend the conservative Republican clearly suggested that impeachment proceedings for Obama would be legitimate if he continues to take executive action.

    "From my standpoint, if the president [enacts more executive actions], we need to bring impeachment hearings immediately before the House of Representatives," King said on Breitbart News Saturday, according to the conservative outlet. "That's my position and that's my prediction."

    Apparently the "Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight"...i.e. the Republican Party....hasn't sat down and had a little meeting with its Caucus and informed that that the NEW meme is "Impeachment talk is a trick that Democrats started."

    BTW, King sort of undercuts the excuse-making that "It's only pundits, not any actual Republicans in the House, who are calling for impeachment".....another part of the "memory hole" revision of history going on over at Ministry of Truth: Oceania's Number One Source For News.

    Maybe Rep. King should try doing HIS job and then the President wouldn't have to act when Congress does absolutely nothing.
    It's pretty hard to have a functioning government when only 2 of the Branches of government are actually doing their jobs.
