Do you think the people this message is intended to influence actually know the procedures for impeachment, much less conviction by the Senate?

Well we finally know for sure now.

Harry Reid is a Tigerdroppings addict.

I truly love the meltdown from the left. It brings me joy and satisfaction. 6 days until they get their pink slips. Unfortunately, between the time the new senators get installed and the election, Obama will, without a doubt, try to force amnesty through.

Exactly. This kind of rhetoric is not intended to influence people who understand basic civics or follow politics closely. It is geared to the avg moron who has little to no understanding as to how the government works. Like it or not, their vote counts for just as much as the die-hard politico

Of course not, that doesn't mean our politicians should take advantage of them by spewing complete and total fear mongering horse shite.

Of course their politicians so they will

Not even close to reality eh?

quote:

2010–12
In May 2010, Republican Darrell Issa of California stated that the allegation that the White House had offered Pennsylvania Representative Joe Sestak a job to persuade Sestak to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary election against Arlen Specter "is one that everyone from Arlen Spector to Dick Morris has said is in fact a crime, and could be impeachable".With the possibility of becoming chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in January 2011, Issa said in October 2010 that the committee would not seek to impeach Obama.

In August 2011, Republican Congressman Michael C. Burgess of Texas stated that the impeachment of Barack Obama "needs to happen" in order to prevent Obama from "pushing his agenda". Burgess did not mention any grounds for impeachment. In June 2012, Senator Jon Kyl said on the Bill Bennett radio show that "impeachment is always a possibility" when discussing the Obama Administration policy on immigration.

May 2013: James Inhofe, Benghazi attack
In May 2013, Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma stated that President Obama "could be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya". Inhofe said that "of all the great cover-ups in history—the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them—this ... is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American history". Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah also stated in an interview that impeachment was "within the realm of possibilities" with regard to the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, later clarifying that "it's not something I'm seeking" and that "I'm not willing to take that off the table. But that's certainly not what we're striving for."

August 2013: Tom Coburn, Blake Farenthold, Kerry Bentivolio
In August 2013, Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma responded to a questioner in a town hall meeting, who had asserted that President Obama was failing to carry out his constitutional responsibilities, by saying that "you have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president... and that's called impeachment". Coburn added, "I don't have the legal background to know if that rises to 'high crimes and misdemeanors', but I think you're getting perilously close". Coburn did not specify what grounds he felt would support impeachment, but NBC News noted that Coburn "mentioned that he believes Department of Homeland Security officials have told career USCIS employees to 'ignore' background checks for immigrants". Coburn mentioned no evidence that substantiated his belief.

At a town hall meeting with constituents, Congressman Blake Farenthold said that Obama should be impeached due to issues with Obama's birth certificate. Farenthold said that he thinks that "the House is already out of the barn on this, on the whole birth certificate issue."

On August 19, 2013, Republican Congressman Kerry Bentivolio stated that if he could write articles of impeachment, "it would be a dream come true". To help in achieving that goal, he retained experts and historians.

December 2013
On December 3, 2013, the House Judiciary committee held a hearing on the President that was formally titled "The President's Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws", which has been viewed as an attempt to begin justifying impeachment proceedings.


But I get it. You don't like people running on lies to scare people into voting against your opponent rather than for you. So maybe you should start threads when Republicans use scare tactics that are not even close to reality:

[quote]In campaign ads and speeches, Republican candidates are pounding home the idea – dismissed by public health experts – that illegal immigrants infected with Ebola are threatening to bring the frightening hemorrhagic fever to the U.S. At the same time, they are flogging the idea – dismissed by national security experts – that ISIS is planning to attack the U.S. by crossing the Mexican border. - See more at: LINK ]

Impeach him...hell...the Republicans should give him a medal. Another two years of his bs and any idea of a Social Democratic State will be a joke. He's taking the whole Ideology and any trust in Government solutions down by his own arrogant ineptitude.

Reid is seriously out of his mind. Dude needs to go away, and hope they let his dirty land deals go away with him.

They couldn't possibly know the procedures for removal of a President and worse than GumboPot knows the procedure for removing a Senator.

First of all, I put an example of a Republican doing similar antics in the OP

secondly, you and I both know the examples you gave didnt have realistic impeachment potential also:
quote:

ssa said in October 2010 that the committee would not seek to impeach Obama.


But I'm glad you posted those quotes bc they are an example of what our politicians shouldn't be doing, spewing bullshite trying to scare ppl into voting for their side. Both sides do it unfortunately, just wish would could keep the most ridiculous stuff out of it. Obama being a Muslim who wants our national religion to be Islam being an example
