Let me guess you never take the time to write your representatives and just come in here to piss and moan about any/everything.

There is so much astroturf now, that letters and phone calls aren't representative of constituency concerns.

For what Obama and others have done I'd seriously entertain an investigation into abuse of intelligence agencies and a move to oust him if it was found he was sanctioned or was complicit. His faithful would rise to his defense, and his enemies the Republicans would perversely have to defend him by siding with the Democrats who both approve of all this. Since they are all in bed that won't happen. Anything else is window dressing and nothing will come of it.

Resident ravers will ignore that at all costs. You already knew that, right?

Of course. But you have to offer information, I think, anyway, just in case. Republican denial isn't just dangerous to the rest of us, it's dangerous for them too. I don't think I could rest in good conscious if I didn't try. It's not like the are consciously of how fucked up they are. One can assign no real guilt or blame them in any way. So sad, such massive defensiveness and no guilt at all. Such a waste.

House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that Republicans have no plans to impeach President Obama, and that all the impeachment talk was driven by Democrats hoping to stir up their base.

What a tool. I guess he hasn't attended any Tea Party 'Tard rallies lately. I guess he missed all of the "Impeach Obama" billboards his Tea Party friends have been putting up:

People hate what they cannot understand or control and therefore they seek power to protect themselves. This fear and hate does not have to be rational, it just has to be about things that are different. This is a great problem and few learn.

In other words you have never taken the time to write your representatives. Bet you've never gone to a meet and greet or townhall meeting put on by your Congressman as well. I have spoken in person with my current Congressman (Pete Olsen) and one of my current Senators (John Cornyn) at a greet and meet in 2009. I also have spoken via phone call with one of previous Congressmen (Virgil Goode) when I lived in Virginia.

Biden could be easily controlled. Hell, you could keep Biden occupied with a laser pointer for hours at a stretch.
:D +1

Why would he write his representatives when he supports the party that believes everyone outside of government is an incompetent idiot incapable of even deciding what to have for lunch? Just vote "D" & do as told. (Unless of course one is like a Florida Democrat and proudly too stupid to even successfully vote "D".)

Like the devil itself, republicans really try to make people crazy. Thats the plan.
Damn... ever since Obama was elected at 10pm election night November 2008, republicans, many republicans, have wanted him not only impeached but better yet hanged.
We all know that. Even a child knows that. That is the blood and soul of the tea party.
So it is nonsense for anyone to now say that they haven't talked and dreamed of impeachment, day after day, every day, since that election night back in 2008.

Then we have the lawsuit.
Suing Obama for the executive order. Something presidents have been doing for 200 years. But Obama, oh no, we have to sue this nappy haired uppity "not one of us" from some foreign country alien commie socialist.
Then, to make it ever worse, republicans then pick on Obama for NOT doing more executive ordering from the oval office drive thru window.
Once again, just drive the people crazy.
Thats how the devil works. You get driven to the point of insanity.

Now, it would be easy to just ignore all of that, but when you are the president AND all the news media is fixated on all the insanity, you can't just ignore.
But we all know these republicans are insane, crazy, and should not be where they are in the first place.
I mean, you can hate Pelosi the democratic house leader, but... John Boehner?
Steve King from Iowa?
Please.....and WTF!

Here we see liberal loonies talking about impeachment.

In 1868, President Andrew Johnson survived a politically charged impeachment trial in the Senate after he clashed with the Radical Republicans. Johnson was accused of violating the Tenure of Office Act (a law he vetoed) and was found not guilty in the Senate by the slimmest of margins. The Supreme Court later found the act unconstitutional.

Looks like radical Republicans pulling off impeachments is not a new thing.

Looks like GOP is at it again.
Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King reignited the debate Sunday about the Republican-led House considering impeachment proceedings for President Obama, just days after party leaders furiously tried to extinguish such talk.

I believe I know why what you say is true and you probably already know what I refer to, the fact that we were taught to hate ourselves as children and had to repress those feelings to survive. We were born in a sick world and if we remained mentally sane and healthy as children we would have been killed by sick people, so our parents made sure we fit in. You know what happens when somebody comes along showing the real love of God. Up on the cross as fast as you can say Blasphemer.

The monsters we paint at the edge of the world on old maps represent the unconscious mind and all the fear and hate that lie there, the external projections of our own inner demons, our fear of what we were made to feel, fear of becoming aware of our own self hate and the hatred we felt for those who loved us and destroyed us in the name of that love. What we fear is the knowledge that we have all been forgiven, that we were never guilty of anything. All that pain and suffering we went through, all the lies we had to buy, all without reason. There was never anything wrong with us.

Probably the CBD's will wind up trying to impeach Obama for saying he always talk about how the Republicans want to impeach him instead of attending to his job of governing while they try to block him.
