1. What a raddled looking asswipe! He should be charged with "legislating while stupid!" nt

[Cha]

16. I know.. the ilk of enemies the President has is astoundingly

stupid.

[japple]

27. Raddled?

[japple]

58. Thanks! That's a new one for me (which isn't that unusual.) eom

[BeyondGeography]

2. He has been Presidentin' while not entirely white for too long

[tofuandbeer]

33. :D

[Cosmocat]

36. All due respect, but Bill Clinton was white

And they actually brought up charges of impeachment on him.

People are doing this president, this country, this party and for that matter race relations no damn good making this about BO being black.

This is 100 percent about him being a democrat.

If this was (and god willing it will be in a few years) Hillary, they would be babbling about impeachment just the same.

Their usual petulant bullshit.

Can't talk about impeachment for a president who damn well deserved it because it would tear the country apart.

But, if it is a democrat you spend the entire term fishing around for SOME reason to try to impeach him or her, regardless of color, gender or whatever.

[BeyondGeography]

38. I agree with that

Just playing off the OP. The Republicans would try to impeach President Whitey McWhite if he were a Democrat.

[Cosmocat]

46. Got it ...

nm

[maddiemom]

40. You've nailed! Ninety percent of the problem. Presidentin' while Democrat. Being

half black just puts the icing on their increasingly partisan stupidity.

[heaven05]

42. with

this POTUS and the RWPOS racists that call themselves legislators, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT COLOR!!!! You're only fooling yourself.

[Cosmocat]

45. Not so much

They loved them some Pizza clown, they liked Colin Powell plenty before he committed the mortal sin of ... supporting a democrat.

You aren't getting the point.

Their party absolutely caters to the lot of the lowest of the human elements, including those people who are racist.

I am not saying that element is not there. But, it simply is the flavor of their choosing to channel their energies to take down this democratic president.

If Hillary Clinton was President they would be channeling all of the women hating elements they would trying to take her down.

Meanwhile, the biggest twits this side of twitdom in the Palin's and Bachmans are reverered by them.

It about the team, R vs D.

The race baiting is the means to the end of trying to destroy a democratic president.

[heaven05]

47. yeah, yeah

all that is true. American politicians of a certain political party are racist POS. American politics has always had a racist element to it. A large element in it. Southern strategy in the 70's, white racist democrats were used by Nixon to defeat a liberal who might have leveled the playing field even more. Reagan was one of the most racist pigs we've had as a POTUS. GWB with his neocon racist policies had a whole cabinet full of them, set up this voting mess we have now with their conservative mindset. His father putting a clarence thomas in a SCOTUS seat was a fucking joke after a brilliant justice like Thurgood Marshall had vacated. I could go on and on about how large that racist element is now, but what's the use you can't see, I can't care. I have lived a while in this country and I say racism has gotten worse with the ascension of Barack Obama to POTUS. No, you don't get the point.

[fredamae]

3. I suggest we start

with impeaching some members of Both Sen/House under the same articles of impeachment- They are, after-all, also "public officials"-aren't they?

[DissidentVoice]

4. They can never give concrete GROUNDS for impeachment.

They claim to revere the Constitution, but it has specific requirements for impeachment of a President, and they cannot fulfil those requirements, so it's just so much bullshit in the wind.

[kardonb]

20. impeach

just another repug way to waste time and get NOTHING done , plus , get payed for getting nothing done . This is ridiculousness in the
extreme and must be stamped on HARD ! It is MY tax $$$ they are wasting !!!

[CarrieLynne]

5. when was the last time a POTUS was not at least threatened with it?

I really wanted Bush impeached lol....clinton was, kinda, now Obama.....what about Bush Sr...regan etc....?
is this just something we/they do nowadays? business as usual in the game of power grab?

[maddiemom]

41. Clinton was "kinda?" He WAS! Never remember any serious talk about Bush JR

or ANY about Reagan or Bush SR.

[jimlup]

6. I think this is actually good for us

If people in blue states start to think this could really happen they may turn out with more enthusiasm to defeat a possible Restupidlican take over of the senate.

[Gus Lammas]

11. Agreed

If the GOPhers want to jump off that cliff, let's get outta their way!

[TRoN33]

7. I already have seen the tape of Coburn and...

I doubt he actually and literally said that "Presidenting while being black counts as high crime or misdemeanor." If someone are trying to trolling and twisted Coburn's words, I won't accept that because trolling doesn't fits into the vernacular of being a Liberal. I have no love for Coburn, period, but I just do not like that someone who claimed to be a Liberal would try to pull us down to teabaggers and teashits' levels. I won't accept that.

[monmouth3]

8. We know he didn't use those words, but pretty sure that's what he meant....n/t

[progressoid]

9. Here:

sat·ire (sat-ahyuhr) noun

1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.

2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.

3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.


Synonyms

[TRoN33]

19. Okay and...

I know what sarcasm is and this one doesn't looks like sarcasm enough to me.

[JTFrog]

22. But do you know what satire is?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

13. ...*blinks*...

...really?

*blinks* *reads post again*

Really?

[progressoid]

10. Wow, politico is a cesspool of comments.

[Cryptoad]

26. You got that right! nt

[Initech]

12. Based on what grounds?

[yellowcanine]

14. Axelrod's response, “That was his considered legal opinion as an obstetrician,”

“That was his considered legal opinion as an obstetrician,” Axelrod said.

[Iliyah]

15. Its for show for their

way off crazy base. That said, they are presently trying to tie him into some fake scandal with no luck. Issa is still having hearings on the IRS and Benghazi and probably other bullshit stuff.

[lyonn]

17. Running for Governor maybe?

That's all I can come up with. Or maybe a high paid job as another repub talking head? Living in Okla. is tough if you are a Dem. You can't have a civil conversation about political differences. They immediately take you for a dummy for not realizing that Dems only want to tax and spend - on the "worthless ones." It's like living in a shark tank, haha......

[SoapBox]

18. Asshole.

...what happened to shit talk like this being next to being a traitor?!?

I think asshole is actually too nice...something like stupid fuck is better.

[Lobo27]

21. Their idiocy has no bounds..............

The Senate is controlled by the Dems..............
This is just like the Obamacare BS, ok it passes the house, umm Senate belongs to Dems, and yes of course the President is gonna make his signature law go away.

My six year old is smarter then these idiots, and by alot.

[nyquil_man]

23. This is like a DA threatening to prosecute

when he knows damned well he won't get a conviction.

When Coburn or any of these other clowns come up with 67 votes to convict, I'll pay attention. Until then, they're just trying to gum up the system - something they've been doing for years.

[SunSeeker]

24. K & R

[Cryptoad]

25. Looks like they finally

moved some of that stronger Koolaid over to the Senate!

[oldandhappy]

28. I am pretty sure that Senating while hating

is not effective and will eventually backfire. Either work and do good things or get out of the Senate and do a real job. thanks.

[Rain Mcloud]

29. Instead of impeachment,

how about some jobs?
He is ashamed that he is not doing his job and so he comes up with a diversion so that it appears that he is doing something when all that Malpractice Coburn has really been doing is attempt to repeal the ACA for his sponsors in the insurance,pharmaceutical and chain hospital groups.

But hell,if you must then go right ahead.
How has that human lie detector trick and Long Distance EKG you used on CJ John Roberts and Terry Schiavo been working out for you?
Oh that's right,you were kinda sorta telling windy stories,huh?
Yeah,that was hilarious,not.
You Sir,are a Fucking joke!

[alp227]

30. Where were the DEMOCRATS when THEY had the chance to impeach Bush?

Oh wait, "impeachment is off the table," said Pelosi! ARGH

[Beacool]

31. What is it with these Republicans?

Are they going to impeach every duly elected Democratic president??????????

[CTyankee]

49. Yes, of course. They can't let Dems get away with giving health care to everybody because then it

would be just like SS and Medicare. Once the people have it,they won't give it up. The pubs know this and they fear it. In that way, it makes perfect sense for them to want to call up the most radical way to get rid of a president that is legal, i.e., impeachment.

Stupid, but that's what GOPers are these days...

[Beacool]

50. It's nuts.

Bill Clinton, his wife and their staffers were persecuted for 5 years and left with a mountain of legal bills. What criminal act did Starr find after wasting millions of tax payers' money on that witch hunt? That a married man lied under oath, after being entrapped, about a sexual act between two consenting adults. Big freaking deal!!!!!!!

Are we going to go down that path again with Obama? What possible grounds for impeachment do they have against him?

How come Bush, Cheney, et al. weren't impeached over the two wars they started on false information?

[CTyankee]

51. don't get me started! I'm having a relaxed Saturday afternoon and hubby is making dinner...

life is good...OK, I'll make the salad, but...

[Beacool]

53. Got it.

I'm in and out running errands. Now I'm leaving for the mall.

Have a wonderful dinner.

[blkmusclmachine]

32. But, but, but ... bi-partisanship !!!

Barack gave 'em everything they wanted,

Just like Clinton.

Oh, wait...

[tofuandbeer]

34. Everytime I see these GOP bastards talk....

it looks like their mouths move, as it spouts out some fake passion, and inside they're laughing: "I hope they buy this load of crap."

These guys hate the U.S. and it's constitution. They hate us and want the world sent back to the early industrial revolution.

In simple terms, I guess they're liars and thieves.

What a disgusting bunch.

[delrem]

35. Heh. A few hours after Pres. Obama gave the R's the grandest absolution.

Not the first absolution - the first came instantly after he was elected in '08.
This second just enacts the first in law.

[Joey Liberal]

37. Coburn is a JERK, but Inhofe is even worse n/t

[Rebellious Republican]

39. and not a citizen, born in kenya, being muslim, So I suppose Ted Cruz is an upstanding.....

non citizen, born in canada to a communist cuban father would get your support Tom, right?

[DallasNE]

44. Republicans Are Oh So Predictable

As Republicans left for the August recess passing but 4 of 12 appropriation bills I predicted that when they came back from the recess they would put together one giant appropriations bill to extend current spending, including the sequester, for 3 months. Well, I got the timing slightly wrong as yesterday Boehner called for just such a bill but for 4-5 months. The reasoning was always obvious as Republicans want to first address the debt ceiling where they think they have better leverage. The leverage is the same.

So, what does this have to do with impeachment? Well, Republicans think that impeachment gives them that leverage. Impeachment will so scare Obama that he will collapse on the Affordable Care Act and all of his other legislative proposals and the Republicans win even though they drop impeachment charges. This is so nuts on so many levels but this is how this current crop of nihilists Republicans "think". But I don't think the Republican ranks will hold together on such a wildly nuts agenda and it all stalls out in Congress. Why? Just look at what happened with the Transportation bill in the House as they rushed out the door for the August recess. Business Republicans wouldn't go along with the spending levels in the bill meaning Boehner didn't have the votes to pass the bill even though he had a majority of Republicans supporting the bill. September will be a sad spectacle in Washington D.C. as there are only 9 working days for them to get things figured out before the government gets shut down. And government will get shut down because of the complete disarray and dysfunction in the House.

[red dog 1]

54. Damn, I think you're right.

I think we are headed for a government shutdown; and these Tea Party freaks will blame Obama & the Dems.

[tavalon]

48. Presidenting while black!

Give yourself a Duzy for that one. LOL

[gopiscrap]

52. yeah go for it you fucking shit stains!

you see how much that helped your fucking party when you went after Clinton!

[Starry Messenger]

55. I thought Coburn and Obama were friends?

I seem to remember that being held up as a good example of hands across the aisle. I guess if they were, they aren't now.

[lonestarnot]

56. Diarrhea asshat!

[chuckstevens]

57. Go Ahead... Make My Day!

If the Republican House proceeds with an attempted impeachment of President Obama, the move will cause the death of the Republican Party! 35% of the crazies and racists in this nation would support it, but to 65% of the rational people it would be viewed as the vindictive, bull shit, political ploy that it would be.

The GOP impeached a popular president in Bill Clinton over a blow job, said nothing about the Republican President George Bush and VP Dick Cheney, who deliberately lied this nation into a war that killed 100,00 +, and then after obstructing EVERYTHING President Obama has tried to do, under this scenario, would desperately try to impeach the man over "something", "anything." The Republicans would go the way of the Federalists and Whig Parties if they try it.
