Well, Since We Didn’t Have Anything Constructive to Offer …
The Republican Party Convention in South Dakota passed a resolution last weekend calling for the impeachment of President Obama. They don’t seem to have any reason to impeach him except that … well, he’s, you know, a Democrat.
“It is more of a primal scream, I suspect, than a serious statement of policy that yes, we should pursue impeachment against President Obama,” said Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University in Aberdeen.
Ya think? Primal scream? I see it more of banging your spoon on the high chair tray. Or holding your breath until you turn blue. Maybe screaming and grabbing at candy in the check-out line.
Schaff said the impeachment resolution is unlikely to be much more than a minor distraction for Republican candidates. “Those with at least 15 years of memory realize what can happen when you impeach a president and don’t necessarily have the American people behind you,” he said.
Now the professor is making sense about the Bill Clinton part. However, I disagree about the minor distraction part. Democrats won’t have to beat them – they will beat each other. With a high chair tray.
Thanks to Larry for the heads up.
