...that all this talk of impeachment is a scam and there are no plans to impeach the President.  He thinks it's a plot by the Democrats.

Wow.  He's been inhaling the bronzer I think.  No wonder Congressional popularity numbers are in the single digits.

And this, "http://news.yahoo.com/republicans-lost-control-impeachment-plot-hatched-175655572.html

House rules committee votes to allow impeachment to be considered. Palin jumps in with both feet. But no, its the Dems doncha' know.

......57% of Republicans polled favor impeachment while general public overwhelmingly does not.......

Duhhhh. I wonder why Boehner said that.

For a soundbite to be played over and over on conservative sites and shows.

Probably so, because Nate Silver is known to be a a rabid right winger.

Okay, great.

Impeachment on what grounds? And do they remember the Senate is controlled by Democrats?

We need a new phrase; Dumber than a congressman.

The impeachment nonsense is what it is: nonsense. I am already sick of hearing about it.

I posted this over on FB with a link to one of the "sue the president" stories. Feel free to hack at it and call me names. I gotta take the dog for a walk in the rain:

For once this isn't from the Onion. House Republicans voted to sue the President because he's given businesses more time to comply with the provisions of Obamacare. Yes, that same Obamacare that those same Republicans have tried to repeal over forty times at last count.

Meanwhile, those same Republicans are complaining loudly about the influx of children coming across our borders, and they demand the President deport them more rapidly. But the President is following the law passed in the Bush era that says those children cannot be released without a hearing and must be released only to a relative or other responsible party. Perhaps to no one's surprise, many of those House Republicans voted for this proposal back in 2007.

Have the Republicans gone barking mad?

[heironymouspasparagus]

Duhhhh. I wonder why Boehner said that.

Because even as dim as he is, he does remember some little bit of history - the last time they tried this nonsense, it cost them 5 seats in the House.  And cost him the Speakership for 10 years or so....

It's the Hijacked Republican Party....    Teabaggers.

Guido... This is what the article you linked to says:

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.

Boehner's statement isn't literally true: There have been mentions of impeachment around the edges of the GOP and by some Republican members of Congress. But on the whole, Democrats are spending a lot more time talking about impeachment than Republicans.

So it isn't literally true... But that he means part of the Republican Party IS taking about impeaching Obama.  But figuratively, it is true because Democrats are using a stupid idea or their advasaries to score political points?  Ergo, if the Democrats point out a dumb move by the Republicans,  then its a Democratic idea and setup.

Just like Andrew Jackson the great peacemaker.  Native Americans love him because after murdering or forcibly removing all natives east of the Mississippi, the Eastern tribes had no Indian Wars.  So, while it was Jacksons idea, it really wasn't because in hindsight the Indians should have wanted it.

Really, its a lot like legitimate rape...

/really?

Careful there...you CAN get pregnant from legitimate rape...but you can't from illegitimate rape!!   Or is it the other way around....I forgot....


I really like your comment - just letting you know....I'm gonna use it!!

I doubt there is much love for Andrew Jackson within the tribes. I know some who won't even carry a bill with his likeness on it.
