(7,812 posts)but hard core tea partiers wants to see an impeachment. dems running for office, pundtis, dem leaders, the WH should all have the cajones to state bluntly what is likely to happen: that after 2014 the House is going to impeach the president for a variety of what they perceive as offenses including: not wearing a big enough flag lapel pin, shaking the hands of middle eastern leaders, using a teleprompter, putting solar panels on the WH, and swapping POWs at the end of the longest war in US history that another president started.
No one wants to see it...so dems should start campaigning on how nuts the RW has become and talking about all the things WE KNOW will happen in 2015 if the RW has both houses of congress. They should be nothing more than honest...and openly talk of impeachment, privatization of safety net, busting of unions, more billionaire free speech, more ignoring of climate change, more restrictions on women's health care, yanking of access to health care for millions, less education, etc etc
We don't have to imagine what it could be like...plenty of examples of bad state-level policies to talk about in red states from the last 8 years and more than plenty from national campaigns and governing.
The WHOLE package of RW wish list items should be explained over and over and should be enough to scare the 98% into thinking with their brains rather than their NRA cheat sheet. THIS SHOULD BE EASY!
