Republicans do not want any talk about impeachment because they know

that voter turn out come November will be the highest in history if there is any discussion of impeaching Obama.

Have you folks seen how much money has rolled in since they mentioned that I word?

Please proceed former run-away governor!!!

I don't watch Fox 'news' but if they start full time advocacy for impeachment, it means the GOP/RNC is pushing it.

I write to the ones I consider weakest and easiest to beat, urging them to run. If there's any role I play well, it's dog in the manger - theirs.

For awhile, they weren't talking about breaching the debt ceiling or shutting down the government either let alone actually doing any of those things. This "lawsuit" that Boehner is pushing is idiotic but that won't satisfy the crazies who really want impeachment and I believe that eventually the Republicans in the House will take a bite of that apple. Gotta keep their base happy so that they will continue to blindly vote for them, right?
