Our Gullible Left

Nobody is going to “impeach” President Obama.

Oh, some fringers will write angry demands for impeachment; some overwrought but underinformed people on the far outskirts of the political mainstram will take up the call, wave their signs, buy their T-shirts and bumper-stickers – the usual stuff.

But there’s not going to be an impeachment, because it is legally and practically impossible.  While the House might hypothetically be able to write, vote on and pass “Articles of Impeachment” – sort of what an indictment would be in a criminal case – the Democrat-controlled Senate would never vote to impeach a sitting Democrat President. 

The GOP on Capitol Hill knows this.  So does everyone on both sides who paid attention during civics class. 

That’s a class that apparently doesn’t include a lot of wealthy, ignorant Democrats (ptr):

President Obama and the Democratic Party are presently peddling a conspiracy theory that Republicans have a secret plan to impeach him from office. Their reason for selling this theory is nakedly self-interested: to raise money from gullible donors and drive turnout from excitable but poorly informed voters who may be unhappy with the President’s job performance but remain personally loyal to him.

 

Democrats, of course, are just cynically exploiting anything that can help them gain partisan advantage. What is much more disappointing is the media playing along with this agitprop campaign, in particular by hounding Republican candidates across the country to discuss impeachment and then turning their answers into “Republicans talking about impeachment” stories even if they strenuously deny that they’re interested in such a thing (or, as commonly happens, if they duck the question or offer vague answers designed to avoid alienating voters who might very much like to see the President impeached or at least see something tried).

It reminds me of the “when did you stop beating your wife”-style beginnings of the “War on Women” meme two years ago; the Democrats and media (ptr) began wagging the public dog on the issue, conjuring up a non-existent movement just in time for election time.

Expect an avalanche of this in the next two years.

  1. This impeachment talk is an egregious fund raising tactic even for the Left. Of course when ‘teh’ smart people of your party only know what they know from watching TMZ, The Daily Show and Colbert Report; and think TV shows like ‘The West Wing’ and ‘House of Cards’ are real you really don’t have to try that hard to get them to believe what you tell them.
    ‘Teh’ smart ones then pass along their ‘knowledge’ to the other dumbasses – who make the characters from the movie “Idiocracy” look like they are coming from a MENSA picnic – and you have a lot of seriously ignorant people to sucker a few bucks from.
    The high rollers in the Democrat Party (a party made up of a small amount of extremely rich people and a large amount of poor people) give money because they know their crony capitalist gravy train comes to a grinding halt if the TEA-partayers ever get in; the poor actually listen to the nonsense that “Rethuglicans are going to ‘put folk in chains'” (God help us – from the current Vice President of the United States!) without apparently looking around their own neighborhood or trailer park and with their own eyes seeing what half a century or more of Democrat rule has done to their community.
    Aren’t the Democrats compassionate? The State Department approved $48MM in contracts for Clinton connected donors and for former President Clinton’s foundation while Hillary was Secretary.

    This should be the response of every Republican to the ‘impeach Obama’ story being flogged by the D’s:
    “My God. Do you think we want to put Biden in the Oval Office?”
    This would both give the story the ridicule it deserves and remind Americans how unsuited Biden is for the office of president.
    Even the liberal press must feel uneasy about Obama’s choice of Biden as veep. Biden’s only real purpose is to become president if Obama vacates the office, and he is inadequate to the task.
    Picking Biden as his VP was the first signature decision Obama made in the 2008 election.

  3. -Republicans want to do away with Social Security
    -Repubicans want to re-instate the draft
    -The IRS did not go after conservative groups
    -Republicans are going to impeach the first black (sic) President

    Lies the Democrats will say a lot again this year.

  4. Of all the a***ole things the left does, the one that pi**es me off the most is when they lie about what repubs are saying. And they can get away with it because of the media.

  5. Impeachment is only a possibility when the President has an “R” behind their name. Democrats may occasionally criticize their own (usually to maneuver in a difficult election) but when push comes to shove, they stick together when it counts.

    Don’t believe me? Then ask yourself, who are the five Democrats in the United States Senate that you think would ever vote to remove a sitting Democratic president?

  6. Did you know the Republicans took the word “Gullible” out of the dictionary? Without your triple matched contribution, the Democrats will not be able to retake the House of Representatives and pass the “Restore Gullibility to Webster’s Dictionary Act”.
