Rachel Maddow - Republican voters ready for impeachment: poll

[Galraedia]

[Chemisse]

1. Oh, I just bet they are - the racist pigs.

[grahamhgreen]

2. Bring it!

[Historic NY]

3. Yeah and what will happen...

Jesus on a paper ballot could have told you thats where they wanted this. Once it starts it curtains for 2016 an beyond. The object is to discredit and smudge this presidents records beyond the BJ Clinton got. Thats all they talk about...heard it even today.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Try this on for size.

Bet the bill of retainer will come these twits:Mike Lee,Jason Chaevtz,Orin Hatch,Stewart,Dean Heller,Orton,Love,Heck and Cruz. See a pattern,if you have read any of the West South West Newspapers,you can see this coming. Op Eds for years by this crowd. This is payback for a little Tax Deal from 1978 either you implement the equal rights or you loose your non profit status.

[rock]

5. "And you Mr Boener, do you play with matches?"

"Why no, as I said, 'you might get burned'." "I'm much to cautious for that; I have a double barreled shotgun that I like to play with, and Dick Cheney has been showing me how to shoot it!"

[MFM008]

6. please proceed

bitches.

[paleotn]

7. Please do....

....it worked so well for the Rethugs the last time.

[Historic NY]

8. Thats the problem they don't care? Especially the bagger contingent....

its been sold far and wild that the darkie must be impeached.

[redruddyred]

9. is rachel still single?

cos so am I.

[Jim Lane]

13. Technically single, but taken.

From Rachel's website: "Rachel lives in New York City and Western Massachusetts with her partner, artist Susan Mikula."

I guess you can take heart that they haven't married, even though both New York and Massachusetts have marriage equality.

[redruddyred]

23. no dude they broke up.

I pay attention to these things.

[Jim Lane]

24. Rachel needs either a new SO or a new webmaster.

Her website at rachelmaddow.com still identifies Susan Mikula as her partner. So, if you have web design skills, hit her up. You have a shot at getting a girlfriend or a paying customer, depending.

[redruddyred]

35. I'll learn how to web design, for YOU rachel

[dorkzilla]

10. Yeah, these goons talk about this but WTF are they going to impeach for???

They've got nothing!

...and the worst part, for me, is that the parents are leaving tomorrow for ANOTHER National Review Cruise and this is ALL I WILL HEAR ABOUT for the foreseeable future.

[Beartracks]

12. They want to impeach because he's an illegitimate President: he's a Democrat. n/t

GOPFail

====================

[Danascot]

21. ... and being Potus

while black.

[Beartracks]

37. I honestly think race has always been a secondary motivator, GENERALLY speaking.

For many redneck conservatives, it's probably THE prime problem; however, I think the Republican/Teapublican establishment would have given just as much sh*t with just as much vigor to ANY Democratic president these last few years, because they simply see Democrats as illegitimate, unpatriotic, and unAmerican. The whole "being black" thing only widened the scope of attack, and made it easier to dog-whistle additional yahoos into the fold.

Is race a big important part of the knee-jerk criticisms leveled at the President? You bet. But does anyone really believe a white Dem would've had any easier a time with the right-wing media or the Teapublican Congress? The venom leveled at Reid, Pelosi, or ANY white Dem is pretty strong stuff all by itself.

However, I do wonder how a black Republican would be treated by the rednecks as their President...

================================

[AwakeAtLast]

11. If they don't, Teapublicans will fillet them

If they do, they will be toast with everyone else.

Hmmm, which one is tastier?

[steve2470]

14. Bring it fools

You got nothing. It will bite them in the ass so hard.

[Granny M]

15. Oh, why not?

It's not like there is anything important they could be doing with their time and our money.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. For what??!

[Kath1]

17. Really.

What the hell for? Trying to undo the disasters of Bush?

[Rhiannon12866]

18. I can't see how not liking/agreeing with him is grounds for anything.

And this would set a dangerous precedent.

[Independent_Liberal]

31. Yeah, would set a bad precedent.

But more than likely it would be seen as so blatantly racist (them impeaching the first black president) that the GOP may be finished for a generation.

One thing the Dems could do is call their bluff on it and here is how: Alan Grayson should draw up articles of impeachment himself and they should be for not prosecuting BushCo for torture or any other crimes. That would totally make Teabaggers heads explode!

My hopes right now is that some scandals involving elected GOP officials at the federal, state and local levels start coming out which keep the Justice Department busy for the next two years. The Repubs will back off impeachment talk if they're too busy trying to defend themselves from multiple criminal investigations. The Christie Bridgegate and Walker John Doe investigations are still on-going and we also have Michael Grimm heading to trial. Who knows what dirt on other people may come out?

[Rhiannon12866]

33. What an idea, LOL

I'm also a supporter of Alan Grayson, think it's very cool he's on this board. And there are so many of them who have been flaunting or ignoring the laws of this country that attempting to prosecute a constitutional scholar like the president would be a total waste of time and money, but it's never stopped them before. *sigh*

[Independent_Liberal]

32. They would likely need something that would be...

...entertaining to the public, like a sex scandal (which they'll never get because I think all presidents have now learned not to get BJ's in the oval office with the Clinton precedent, LOL!). Other than that, I think any other issues like the Constitution and Executive Orders I think the public would find boring. Not something that would gin up a whole lot of ratings for the media.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Plus the fact that that they've already wasted enough of this country's time and money

That I can't see how they can get away with it, yet again. But the results of this abysmal election has convinced me that we can never misunderestimate the stupidity of the electorate.

[maindawg]

19. We will never learn

The act of impeaching the president is very bad for the nation.Its bad news for every aspect of our entire nation.Bad for the economy, bad for the security of our people. Its bad for our ability to live in a country where one faction is at war with the rest of the people to the point where they would destablize our entire government.It will hurt us all.
But it look inevitable. The president has to act on the issue of illegal immigrants. They are here, they have jobs and families.They pay taxes and they are people just like you and me. Illegal immigrant is just another word for poor people,working people.
I am behind the president 1000%

[heaven05]

20. I hope these idiots

get their wish. It will be a 'tempest in a teapot' media event and maybe it'll take up a lot of their 'valuable' time and these RW protectors of the amerikkkan way will satisfy their ignorant base by doing nothing else to help americans......again.... I am so sick of all these racist, self righteous protectors of the amerikkkan way. Obama really has brought out the worst in some segments of the white race as seen by the vote on November 4, 2014....don't get me wrong it was there all the time, but the election of a black POTUS pushed a lot of them over the edge....ala cloven hoof bundy and his ragtag bunch of racists who said fuck it, let's topple this n.....and their RW politicians did and will do their very best to further that attempt in the next two years for sure. The last six years has really put the hidden cultural/racial norms of this society on front street. I am glad. This will put to rest the idea/lie of a free and democratic society and keep from it from being peddled to the world in the guise of 'a beacon of light'. That light was extinguished long ago, the bulbs were finally broken November 4, 2014.

Only a racist, stupid electorate could create the outcome of an election that this nation and it's moderate, liberal and progressive minority will have to deal with for the next two years. Only fools could vote the way they did, in the majority, on November 4, 2014.

[wandy]

22. This, is going to get ugly. nt

[Old Nick]

25. I for one am shocked

Shocked, I tells ya!

[HeiressofBickworth]

26. Republicans must want

a President Joe Biden. Just impeaching Pres. Obama wouldn't hand the Executive Branch to the Republicans. Or, do they think they can then gin up some charges against Biden and do it again?

What they really want is to overturn the last two presidential elections.

[cilla4progress]

27. Right, this is how they are going to spend the next 2years?

That will make them really popular!

[gordianot]

28. They might as well impeach President Obama why even pretend elections matter.

This is an obvious choice from the party of voter suppression.

[Independent_Liberal]

29. If this did happen, one thing I would be concerned about...

Every party that impeached in the past always won the WH next election.

The Dems after Nixon, the Repubs after Clinton, etc. Just citing historical precedent.

[Independent_Liberal]

30. That said, I still think it's BS talk.

Clinton was already impeached at this point in his presidency. I predict for the next two years the parties will just be focused on who they will nominate for the 2016 election. The Repubs will likely just hold additional Benghazi hearings as a means of hoping to stop Hillary.

[redruddyred]

36. I wonder if the jury is still out on that one.

it all sounds so stupid in retrospect.

then again boehner's 'you gonna get BURNED mista' sounds pretty stupid in not-retrospect, so maybe I just think the republicans are stupid.
