CONSERVATIVES CONSIDER IMPEACHMENT IF THEY LOSE TO OBAMA

[proud2BlibKansan]

A highly influential conservative leader is already considering an impeachment strategy against President Obama if he wins re-election.

Grover Norquist of Americans For Tax Reform told National Journal that if Obama is re-elected and refuses to re-authorize the Bush-era tax cuts for millionaires, “Obama can sit there and let all the tax [cuts] lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach.”

Norquist is infamous for his anti-tax pledge, which has been signed by most Republicans and a few Democrats, which forces them to oppose any and all tax increases or face a primary opponent funded by Norquist and his shadowy multi-millionaire donors.

In an interview with Bill Moyers on PBS, Norquist professed his desire to shrink the government “down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”

1. That is certainly the hight of desperation! These people will stop at nothing

to get rid of this President.

[Lint Head]

2. What can be done to make Norquist irrelavant?

[pennylane100]

16. the only solutions that come to mind are all illegal.

[cantbeserious]

3. Enemy Number One To The United States - Funny In That He's Allowed To Walk Freely

eom

[shraby]

4. He sure is assuming a lot. 1.. that the republicans will retake the House.

2. that the republicans will take the Senate.
3. that not renewing the tax cuts for the rich is an appeachable offense.
4. that his own strangle-hold on the House is not treason..working against the government.
5. that anyone finds him influencial anymore now that they know what he's doing.

[subterranean]

5. Does Norquist understand how impeachment works?

The Senate doesn't impeach, the House does. They already have enough votes to impeach the President if they want to. But they need a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict, and they certainly won't have that any time soon.

[libodem]

7. A reason

For god's sake, don't they need a reason?

Do they just want to hamstring him for months like they did with Clinton? Cost millions of tax payer dollars to put on that Lewinski charade.

And I heard Newt bragging about the surplus and tax cuts that came about while he was speaker. How is that for a hypocrite. Obstructionist bitchard.

[Ohio Joe]

37. Thats what I was thinking

What would they impeach him for

[emulatorloo]

59. Yes, I loved Newt taking credit for Clinton era prosperity and balanced budgets.

[cascadiance]

12. If they retain the house, they are looking for a way to rationalize doing NOTHING...

... like they've done the last term. If they don't do an impeachment and they are in a majority in the House still, and just obstruct everything and don't get anything out to help a nation that needs help, they are setting themselves up for perhaps an even bigger overhaul than they faced in 2008. Perhaps they think they can get people distracted enough with their hate for Obama through doing an impeachment then, even if it is destined to fail, much like they did with Clinton.

[Siwsan]

6. Norquest needs an enema

The up side to that happening is, once it is over, there will be nothing left of him.

[tularetom]

20. You could drown him in a bathtub lol

Or maybe even a coffee cup.

[Rectangle]

8. What would the specific charges against the President be?? ('Love to ask Grover that!)

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. He's a black Muslim born in Kenya

[ProfessorGAC]

51. You Went Too Far

You could have stopped at "black". Let's face it. That's the real reason. The Muslim and Kenya thing are smokescreens.

[Fawke Em]

26. I'm wondering why the interviewer didn't ask that very question.

I used to be a reporter and the "why" was my favorite question.

[HughBeaumont]

42. Well, that was back when the media did this thing called "impartiality".

Now, they only ask "WHY" of Democrats. The Grovel Nerdquists of the world? "Um, er, ah, OK then, sir . . ."

[Fawke Em]

43. Well, you're Beaver's Dad, so you're right!

And I'm being funny. LOL.

I also agree with what you posted.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

49. He had sexual relations with....

....Michelle Obama.

[Tennessee Gal]

9. Fools. Every last one of them.

What would the grounds be?

[Rex]

11. Grover is a muppet, he has no real power and cannot

do one fucking thing if Obama gets elected. That FOOLS would waste time with Grover, is sad and pathetic all rolled into one.

[emulatorloo]

60. Unfortunately, Republican reps and senators think their pledge to him

means more than their pledge to the United States.

[Rex]

65. Then they are mentally ill and need to be removed from office.

nt.

[emulatorloo]

66. Agreed. GOTV n/t

[Ecumenist]

13. He's out of his mind. Is he really so out of touch to believe that people will actually try to

impeach a LEGALLY elected president because he refuses to renew the bush era tax cuts FOR MILLIONAIRES?! Is he paying attention at all to the Occupy Movement? Does he realise what would happen if they tried that considering what bush and his cronies did during their regime and he wasn't impeached..This man is delusional...big time!

[Initech]

14. What grounds could they possibly impeach Obama on? Pure hatred ain't one of 'em...

[Zambero]

15. Key Q&A's

For starters:

Q: Does Grover Norquist hold any elective office? A: No
Q: Is Norquist a lobbyist representing monied interests? A: Yes
Q: Does Norquist consider members of Congress to be more accountable to him than to their constituents? A: Yes
Q: Is there a high crime or misdemeanor involved in allowing a temporary tax policy to expire? A: No
Q: Are Republicans inclined to overplay their hand? A: Yes
Q: Might they ask Newt Gingrich how well this tactic worked out for him back in the day? A: That's their call

[GoCubsGo]

18. Q: Is Grover Norquist aware that the approval rating for Congress is 8%?

And, that's due in good part to the fact that the only thing they're doing is obstructing the President.

A: Apparently not. More likely, he is delusional enough to think it doesn't matter.

[GoCubsGo]

17. Someone needs to remind Grover about what Einstein once said.

You know...the thing about repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting the outcome to be different. Apparently, they didn't learn from the Clinton impeachment, and this time they have even less on this President. And, as I recall, Clinton's approval ratings went up by a large percentage AFTER the impeachment. I don't think the country is in the mood to be dragged through that bullshit once again.

[markpkessinger]

19. Does anyone else wonder at what point all this becomes sedition? n/t

[leftyohiolib]

27. it already is , they deliberatly tried to tank and ruin this economy

they say no to everything. i,ve said it before that they are a threat to our country and need to be done away with

[lumpy]

29. That's what I would call it.

bastards!

[toddwv]

21. Shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Does anyone here really think that the Republicans wouldn't have tried impeachment already if they had won a majority in the Senate?

[Odin2005]

22. Norquist should be drowned in a bathtub.

[Buns_of_Fire]

34. He's small enough, he could be flushed.

Just like the other societal waste for which flushing is indicated.

[Life Long Dem]

23. They better get started now.

[Arkansas Granny]

24. And what are they going to use against him, other than the fact that they don't like him?

[thelordofhell]

25. How many times do we have to see this?

This is the 7th post I've seen about this delusional ass hat. Isn't there an "already posted" feature on here somewhere?

[B Calm]

28. Republicans already know Obama will be reelected.

LOL

[RainDog]

30. let's investigate Grover and his business buddy, Jack Abramoff's "tax relief"

maybe Jackie would like to earn a little time off his prison sentence for tax fraud by helping get rid of Grover.

Norquist also admits arranging White House access for Jack Abramoff’s clients, at the same time as he was soliciting large donations for his organizations from them. Norquist led the K Street Project, a GOP effort to purge Washington lobbying firms of Democrats, with Tom DeLay, the House majority leader until indicted (and convicted) on political conspiracy charges in Texas.

Or let's talk about his buddy, Abdurahman Alamoudi, head of the American Muslim Council(AMC). He was convicted of terror financing.

Why do teabaggers support terrorist enablers?

http://www.nationalcorruptionindex.org/pages/profile.php?profile_id=21

Why are Norquist's good friends all in jail? Is it the company they were keeping?

[lunatica]

31. What are they gonna impeach him on?

What laws has he broken or what affair has he had? Are they going to impeach him for continuing some of Bush's policies? For drone attacks that kill terrorists? Or will they go after him for that kenyan muslin thing?

[B Calm]

32. For being a socialist, communist, fascist,

Nazi, BLACK man from Kenya, Africa without an American birth certificate.

LOL. . .

[B Calm]

33. Oh yeah, he's a fanatical Mooslem too.

[emulatorloo]

61. with a Crazy Christian Preacher

He's a MUSLIM! He goes to Reverend Wrights CHurch!

One of my favorite parts of the 2008 campaign - Obama the evil muslim who is a crazy christian!

[HopeHoops]

35. Well they DO have a good reason - he IS black, ya know.

Okay, so it's only a good reason to them. They impeached Clinton for getting something they can't get - a blow job.

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. And he was born in Kenya!

[HopeHoops]

41. Ah, right. Forgot that one.

[Trajan]

36. Pipe dream ....

The more influence Norquist exerts, the less likely the GOP will be in a position to impeach anyone ...

He posits that the GOP will win in 2014 ... Yet Clinton (and the nation) went on to enjoy eight years of healthy prosperity after he raised taxes on the rich ..... Gingrich was one of those who in 1993 SWORE up and down the economy would sink .....

The rest is history ..... The GOP wont be in a position to impeach the janitors ...

[Lil Missy]

38. Before or after they jump up and down, hold their breath, turn red, and scream nanny nanny boo boo?

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Let 'em try.

I'll look forward to the 2016 elections and the subsequent inauguration of President Warren.

[backscatter712]

44. The Republicans don't even have a sex scandal to use as a pretext.

In fact, I'd say Obama's presidency has been remarkably scandal-free.

No stained dresses, no freezers full of cash. What lame-ass excuse would they have to get a majority of the House and 2/3 of the Senate to vote to throw him out?

[Archae]

45. It all boils down to one thing. One thing only.

That White House belongs to THEIR white conservative "Christian" men.

"We want that n***** out of there."

[Rex]

46. Grover is a joke, I hope no one is taking him seriously.

nt.

[Octafish]

47. Repuglians never take impeachment off the table.

Even when there's reason to.

[Shankapotomus]

48. Why are they not considering armed overthrow

of the government? I thought Obama was going to destroy America (Alan Keyes and others)? Why are conservatives leaving the destruction of America up to an election?

Shouldn't they be stockpiling weapons by now and planning their seizure of the capital?

[City Lights]

50. That'll go over like a lead balloon.

I wonder if they are really stupid enough to pull this crap again.

[GoCubsGo]

52. Yes, they are.

They are not just stupid. They are crazy stupid. They are so blinded by their hatred for the current President, they'll try just about ANYTHING to get rid of him, and the thought of him winning a second term has driven them off the deep end. They are not rational, so they are not going to behave rationally.

The problem for the repugs is, the way things are going now, there's a decent chance they're going to lose the House. Then they won't even have the chance to impeach him. Norquist is spewing this shit because he fears just that. He's riling up the base. There is no enthusiasm for Romney, and the more of them that stay home in November, the fewer of them there will be to vote for repug candidates in other races. He's trying to give them some incentive to show up at the polls in November.

[madokie]

53. Isn't this whole norquist thing bordering on black mail?

[proud2BlibKansan]

54. Seems like it

[librechik]

55. Oh, what a surprise! I could never have guessed they would try that

except they are always poor losers and have tried everytrick in the cheater's book, including specious impeachment charges that cost the taxpayers millions, to make up for their dwindling numbers against the Dems.

But what are they going to impeach him about? Oh, yeah, he's thinking about taking away the shady loopholes which allowed the rich to get obscenely wealthy. That will be a popular program, I'm sure.

[benld74]

56. More Caesar fiddling while Rome burns - IS IT NOT??!?!?!?

[benld74]

57. How about shrinking the GOP down to a hemmoroid that Prep H can take care of?!?!?!?!!

[emulatorloo]

63. LOL, thanks

[Initech]

58. For what exactly???

[PRETZEL]

62. Just seems to me that this is a gift for Dems looking to take back the House

remember there are alot of freshman (or short termers) in Congress who have signed on to Norquists pledge.

Make a campaign issue out of this. Put those on record during this election year whether or not they intend to impeach the President if they're re-elected.

[WCGreen]

64. IBHC

Impeach Because He's Colored....

Fucking racists...

[mfcorey1]

67. Bring it on, sucker! nt

[Vinca]

68. That is truly the most ludicrous idea for impeachment I've ever heard.

It would be tons of fun to watch.
