Do you think that President Obama will be impeached before his term ends?

[el_bryanto]

I would have said no up until a month ago because it's so manifestly a stupid idea, but now I'm not so sure.

1. Doubt it but you never know with the gop.

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. If the Republicans win a majority in the Senate in November? Probably.

This is what's eventually going to kill representative government in the USA, by the way. Competing claims of democratic legitimacy between the legislative and executive based on partisan differences. And the Republicans have shown they're quite willing to engage in tactics of destabilising the legitimacy of the executive for partisan ends.

[HooptieWagon]

5. Senate majority is irrelevent.

The house is gonna do what it wants. Even if GOP gets a Senate majority, they'll still be far short of 67 votes to remove from office.

[Spider Jerusalem]

10. Sure, it's pretty irrelevant, but they might be stupid enough to think they could get a conviction.

And a Senate majority would probably be enough to make them think they could get away with it in the court of public opinion.

[HooptieWagon]

3. Somewhat likely.

There's enough batshit crazy in the GOP House to ram through an impeachment. No way will they get close to 67 votes in the Senate, though. And the impeachment vote will blow up in their faces, again.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. I want to vote twice!!

It ain't gonna happen and, I hope I don't see any more of these bullshit polls.

[malthaussen]

6. I'm amazed they haven't done so already. n/t

[bigwillq]

7. I doubt it

We shall see.

[Robbins]

8. SC today made it more likely

Including the liberals on court saying obama oversteped with recess appointments.

The senate will never convict but odds are the teaparty house will Impeach.Only when is the question.

[msanthrope]

9. Those mothafuckers are dumb enough to try it. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

11. ok then I guess all the criticism from some on the

Left is all just posturing then?

So shouldnt some on DU be joining ranks with Michelle Bachmann and cheering this on? They accuse him of all sorts of misbehavior.....dont they agree eith the Teabaggers on this?

[WinkyDink]

13. Your equating "criticism" with "cause for impeachment" is bizarre. The rest is hardly as trenchant

as you seem to think.

[VanillaRhapsody]

14. I was being magnanimous calling itt "critcism" actually

It goes to high crimes.....either they believe what they say and join the Baggers or its just posturing lip service...in other words they are full of excrement!

[el_bryanto]

16. Can you point to an example? nt

[Bluenorthwest]

17. That's the one thing they can never do, these posters who constantly claim to see right wing horrors

on DU are often asked to show what they mean, but they never do. That is because they are being hyperbolic in a rush to slam, bash, and slander good Democratic voters for being responsible citizens. Trash talk is the whole point, truth is not even a consideration.

[VanillaRhapsody]

18. how long have you been here

How about the drone criticisms for example. Or any number of them accusing him of violsting his oath. Don't try playing games you are not good at it. You really think no one notices? How about the Obamacares Crtiics. You know hr is a "POS used car salesman". Shouldt he agree with the Baggers? Or how about the Snowden fans?

[el_bryanto]

20. That's good advice. If I ever start playing games I'll be sure to follow it.

I think that most of the arguments about drone warfare or even the surveillance state are more about whether things should be legal; I don't think people are actually calling for Obama to be impeached, other than a few isolated cases.

Bryant

[VanillaRhapsody]

21. you are already are by trying to cover for your

"Independent" voting friends...arent they in agreement with the Tealiban?

The fact that on a Democratic forum the "BOG" needed to even exist proves you wrong

[el_bryanto]

22. If I'm playing a game, it's certainly a very tedious one

I doubt they are in agreement with the Tealiban who probably have no real problem with the drones, and only a bit of a problem with the surveillance state (specifically, they wouldn't mind it if a Republican were working it).

Bryant

[VanillaRhapsody]

23. does the BOG exist or not and why?

On a Democratic forum that speaks volumes about the level of "criticisn" you claim is so mild...

[el_bryanto]

25. I don't claim it's mild; I just claim it doesn't rise to the level of agreeing with the tea party.

And I think that the Tea Party and those at DU who are upset with the president are upset about different things.

Bryant

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. the teaparty is just upset?????

The next spate of ODS i will remind them that you said that!!!!

That means you are saying they have even more in common than even I accused them of!!!

[el_bryanto]

28. Yep - a very tedious game.

I speak in an understated way sometimes.

Bryant

[VanillaRhapsody]

32. so now you agree with me?

[el_bryanto]

33. I agree that discussing with you is pointless and tedious.

Did you say that?

Bryant

[VanillaRhapsody]

35. because i am a realist not an ideologue is why..

Of course you cannot "deal with it". That doesnt surprise me at all....nor does your attempt to insult me....thats the standard response when you can't

[el_bryanto]

36. You are no more a realist than the people you are attacking for not supporting the President enough

Obamas done some good things and some bad things - in the areas of foreign policy his record is mixed, in the area of the surveillance state his record is bad.

Bryant

[VanillaRhapsody]

37. no....you are attempting to sugar coat it when they DO have something in common OR

Why would the BOG even exist on a Democratic forum at all? THAT is the reality that proves my point!

[WinkyDink]

12. No way.

[William769]

15. Not going to happen. They are to chicken shit. nt

[randys1]

29. I wish, the teaparty are RABID racist kochsuckers and they are dying to

impeach Obama.

Boehner will stick his finger in the air and determine if doing so helps him or not, never mind there are no grounds to do it, but that wont stop them.

[JVS]

19. They'll do it, but they're going to wait until they know what possible charge would be most...

politically advantageous to make.

[Mr Dixon]

24. IMO

NFW

[clarice]

26. Unlikely after the Clinton fiasco. nt

[JoePhilly]

30. Boehner won't bring it to the floor.

[CBGLuthier]

31. Impeach TWO democratic presidents in a row?? If they did I would hope it would be the end of

the republican party. If they actually start impeaching every democratic president elected I would think most americans would be fed up.

[Prophet 451]

34. If they take the Senate, absolutely certain

Now, they won't get anywhere near the 67 needed to convict. But the House is batshit enough to start impeachment and if they can count on a bare majority in the Senate, they'd see that as a moral victory.
