1. signed. n/t

[IronGate]

2. Good luck with that.

No chance to succeed, just like Boner's lawsuit against Pres. Obama.

[red dog 1]

4. Of course it has no chance to succeed, but the more signatures it gets,

the more of an embarrassment it is to Boehner

[IronGate]

6. LOL.

You really believe that Boner has any shame?

[tridim]

10. The whiskey takes care of any lingering shame he might have. nt

[IronGate]

11. Yep, the orangeman does love his liquor. nt.

[Control-Z]

17. You have 666 posts!

Cool.

[IronGate]

24. Phew, that was close,

I kept looking for the devil to come take me.
I'm safe now.

[Control-Z]

28. And here I was worried that you....

might take me!! Glad we're past all that!

[louis-t]

37. Hey, I was on a bowling league years ago

One game, I looked at the score and both teams had 666 pins. Someone said "play it in the lottery". I laughed nervously. No thanks. The next day, 666 was the 3-digit.

[FBaggins]

14. You don't think that it's more embarrassing to be a signer?

Since neither the House rules committee nor the President has the ability to impeach a member of the House (and 14A doesn't have anything to do with impeachment)... I would feel as though I looked pretty dense if I signed that.

[IronGate]

15. So basically,

MoveOn.Org is talking out their ass?
Usually they're pretty good, but it would seem this time...............................

[FBaggins]

20. I suspect that MoveOn allows their members to start whatever petitions they want to

This one... yeah... is nonsense.

They could start a petition asking the voters of his district to dump him. That would make more sense.

[IronGate]

22. That would make sense. nt.

[red dog 1]

19. If you think signing it would be embarrassing, then don't sign it.

[FBaggins]

21. Obviously...

... but I should also encourage others to avoid it. Shouldn't I?

On edit... I see that you started a similar petition last year at the same site... then took it down (though you incorrectly assumed that it would take 2/3 of the House to do so). Why pump this one?

[ballyhoo]

30. Exactly.

[freshwest]

42. +1. It's gotten down to 'keep 'em busy' while the GOP laughs at us, sad to say.

[awake]

5. Never say never

Some said there was no chance a black man named Brock Husain Obama could become the Pres. of the United States

[IronGate]

8. How would it happen?

Repubs. are the majority in the House.

[marybourg]

26. He didn't.

[awake]

39. "No chance to succeed" is close to never

anyway it was just an expression. I see no harm in signing it.

[marybourg]

44. I was just pointing out that no man named

Brock" was ever elected president.

[awake]

45. Sorry my auto spelling checker on my computer fucked up

[samsingh]

32. at least it sends a message that we are not lying down.

[leftyohiolib]

3. tag

[jillan]

7. Signed and shared. I am so happy to see this - not that it will do any good other than send a msg.

[red dog 1]

16. + 1000

I agree 100%,
it will not "do any good other than to send a message"

And, IMO, the more signatures it gets, the stronger the message.

[Faux pas]

9. Now

How do we impeach the supremes?

[IronGate]

12. Well, first, you have to convince the House to initiate Impeachment proceedings,

which, as we all know, just ain't going to happen as long as the Repubs. are in control of the House.

[former9thward]

40. It would not happen with Democrats in control.

House leadership does not play those games. Back benchers bring that type of stuff up to get publicity but no one in authority.

[LoisB]

13. Signed

[SummerSnow]

18. Just ban liquor, he'll cave.

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

23. Signed. K&R nt

[lamp_shade]

25. Done and shared on facebook.

[trueblue2007]

27. i signed

I also shared it on facebook

[Blanks]

29. I signed it...

And so what if it doesn't make any difference (on him actually getting impeached.

Somebody took a poll and determined that Obama was the worst post WWII president. A fucking opinion poll - that's all this is - your opinion.

If it is your opinion that nobody gives two shits what Sarah Palin thinks about who should be impeached (the majority of Americans for instance) - well, WE think Boehner should be impeached.

Just sign it. What's it gonna hurt?

[red dog 1]

48. + 1

[lamp_shade]

31. 6400 signatures so far.

[samsingh]

33. this is good. whether it succeeds or not is irrelevant

by showing that we will also cut all corners to defend ourselves will frighten the cowardly repugs

[H2O Man]

34. silly display of ignorance

Congressmen cannot be impeached. A basic knowledge of the law is lacking here.

[Jack Rabbit]

35. I didn't the Speaker could be impeached

He may be removed from power at any time by a voter of the majority caucus, the same we he became Speaker in the first place.

He may also be removed from power either by elevating the opposition party to the majority, which really ought to happen because there isn't a Republican in either House of Congress who deserves re-election, or he may be denied re-election by the voters of his district.

[libodem]

36. DONE

And not soon enough. Sent to Facebook. May this petition go viral!

[RoccoR5955]

38. Signed...

I'll bring the feathers if someone brings the tar.

[mnhtnbb]

41. Now there's a great suggestion.

[kairos12]

43. He fears more being kept from the tanning booth.

[misterhighwasted]

46. We The People

Only need about 600 sigs..

[Sunlei]

47. less than 500 sigs to go for the issue to be brought foward & shoved in Boehners face!

Better than a pie in his orange mug- for him to know several thousand people wish he was gone!
