We Never Tried To Impeach Bush, Says Dem Rep Who Co-Sponsored Bush Impeachment

Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee argued Wednesday the Republican effort to sue President Obama is nothing but a veiled attempt to impeach him — something Democrats never did to President George W. Bush:
quote:
I ask my colleagues to oppose this resolution for it is in fact a veiled attempt at impeachment and it undermines the law that allows a president to do his job. A historical fact: President Bush pushed this nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists. We did not seek an impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority.
Except former Rep. Dennis Kucinich did actually introduce a bill to impeach Bush in 2008 — and Jackson Lee actually was a co-sponsor to the legislation.

I really hope the republicans impeach Obama and make themselves more ridiculous than they already are--which would be quite a feat.

Seriously, does SJL have any handlers to muzzle her whatsoever? She may the dumbest politician to ever walk the halls of congress.

I would be quite shocked if the republicans don't try to impeach Obama. The greatest tragedy will be the Boehner household trying to deal with their paterfamilias's constipation.

She's got a couple of buffers against public criticism.

Nah, the Speaker knows it would hurt the Rs politically if they did. That's why he is being so vocal about it not happening--he's shutting it down.

I'm aware. Poor Boehner is in the unenviable position of trying to give a viable path to good governance to a bunch of junior congressmen eager to appease their gerrymandered districts by flailing as far to the right as possible.

I truly believe that she is so stupid that she has no recollection of this.

"flailing to the right"?
sure wouldn't want to do anything to slow the leftward surge right into the sewer would we?
Are there ANY dem congressmen who are NOT left wing kooks?

This impeachment thing is so blatant. The Dems are the only ones talking about impeachment.
It is soooooo obvious what they are doing.

Unfortunately, she's not, and it's not even close. That dishonor goes to GA Rep. Hank Johnson, who thought Guam might tip over if we put too many troops on it.
It takes a special kind of stupid to think that.

That woman is so fricking stupid. I bet you she couldn't point out her own district on a map.

Poster child for Affirmative Action. How she gets elected is beyond me......oh I forgot her voter base sees color only.

I would love to know how she got accepted into Yale and then UVA law school.
