Democrats Are More Obsessed with Impeachment than Republicans

Democrats are way more obsessed with impeachment than republicans

Consider, for example, the Sunlight Foundation’s Capitol Words database, which tracks words spoken in the House and Senate. So far in July, there have been 10 mentions of the term “impeachment” in Congress and four others of the term “impeach.” Eleven of the 14 mentions have been made by Democratic rather than Republican members of Congress, however.

This data comes from a Lexis-Nexis search of transcripts on each network. It counts each mention of the words “impeach” or “impeachment.” The terms were used 32 times in a single episode of MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” on Monday.

The scoreboard so far in July: Fox News has 95 mentions of impeachment, and MSNBC 448. That works out to about 2.7 mentions per hour of original programming on MSNBC, or once every 22 minutes. (This data is as of late Tuesday afternoon.)

I feel sorry for Nate Silver that he and his crew actually had to watch the Ed Show.

It is what they do.
Create a meme, have the media repeat it. Stewart and Colbert mock R's on it. Uninformed electorate gets outraged.
They really do an excellent job of it, to be honest.

This can't be true.
The gambler/lawyer/accountant/woman/transgender/etc says it isnt true, and it, whatever it is, would know!

Steve Scalise was on Fox News on Sunday and when specifically asked by Mike Wallace if the GOP would consider impeachment refused to rule it out.
So stop pretending this is a strawman. Democrats, for their part, are wise enough to know that such consideration is a major negative for Republicans.

Why should he rule it out?
It should never be ruled out for any president.

Republicans don't want to impeach Obama. The longer he is President the more he screws up. The more he screws up the better the chances for electing Republicans. Right now Obama is the republican's best friend.

It's democrats lying to raise money. It's what they do.
Posted on 8/1/14 at 5:35 pm to Taxing Authority
There's no doubt that the Democrats would love for the Republicans to throw Obama into the briar patch.

Yes. The Dems are using this as a tool for campaign contributions.

We need Obama badly, he just shows the electorate that is in tune with reality an authoritarian command and control government does not bode well for a representative democracy.

Informed electorate huh, guess the Dems are safe.

The Democrats are in big trouble in November and they know it. Seats they did not think would be competitive are in play now and this could be a real disaster for them.
The chickens are literally coming home to roost and they are going to try and spend and lie their way out of it. They are using imaginary impeachment to try and rally the troops.

Since a lot of these leaks are coming from the White House, the republicans should spin this by saying "even his own staff wants him impeached".
