Because Bill Kristol says we shouldn't - and he's WRONG about EVERYTHINGhttp://crooksandliars.com/2014/07/kristol-tells-palin-stfu-about-impeachment
Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol may have thrust Sarah Palin into the national spotlight by being one of the first to push for her to be vice president in 2008, but he has now decided that she "makes Republicans look extreme" because she called to impeach President Barack Obama.
"No responsible Republican official has called for impeachment," he explained. "And one problem with it is, of course, is you just get Joe Biden as president. The Republican task is to elect a Republican Senate, and to elect a Republican president in 2016, not to create a phony issue that allows Democrats to make Republicans look extreme."

(321 posts)him not having broken any laws in which to be impeached for....... oh those little details.....
We have such a double standard in this country when it comes to political parties. Big dog was impeached for getting a hummer and then having lied to congress about it. W and Co. start a war based on a lie and that fucker gets a presidential library. Go figure. I will take a hummer over starting a war any day of the week.

(321 posts)You may not like the guy or his predecessors, but the fact still remains (at least as far as we know as the American public) that he hasn't done so.
Keep going back as far as presidents go and the shitty things that they have done...... we have been at this a VERY long time.
Here is a wiki (yeah I know) page pertaining to such.....

My point is that impeaching a sitting president just because you don't agree with him doesn't fly. If a president clearly breaks the law, then yes. If not, well....

(29 posts)Republican dread of their own impending demise due to demographic change has led them
to all manner of senseless, idiotic contrivance; but their true driving force is the abject racial hatred
they have borne for President Obama from even before he was ever elected.
