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.
