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.
While the wingnut party was barely squeaking by on an impeachment plank,their wingnut guv petitioned the Obama administration for more federal flood disaster aid. Okay,Obama,a joke is a joke. Why not tell wingnuts in South Dakota to pray to their fictitious god for flood relief.
1Yeah well, you know Rick Perry thinks it works, onion! He prayed for rain once or twice, see?
2Aren’t the badlands located in one of the Dakotas? Might seem kinda strange me even asking this, but frankly I think it explains everything!
3I still don’t understand why anyone wants to impeach Obama. I’m just ADHD, you know, I forget all the important stuff.
4Marge Wood, the lunatics impeached the last Democratic president. President Obama is both a Democrat and not one of them good old pure white boys. He’s double trouble to the mindless Tea Bags.
Gotta love the irony of their ‘small government’ and ‘fiscal conservatism’ mantra under Dubya, the Fiasco Conservative.
I’m all for retiring the national debt. Let’s do it next week by hauling in all that off shore money the war profiteers and greed barons are “hiding” in plain sight. While we’re at it, RICO all the Bushes, Cheneys and those associated with that great Invade Iraq plan that was supposed to ‘pay for itself.’ We can create a budget surplus by charging the moocher Waltons for all the free government medical care and food stamps given their employees, since old Sam died.
5Some things just really are not worth the paper it takes to print them.
A Resolution from the State of South Dakota, calling for the impeachment of a sitting United States President…..
Would be one of those things.
Why don’t those guys just take up on-line poker…… or something??? That would be more productive.
6If it isn’t repealing Obamacare, it’s impeaching Obama. Ain’t gonna happen! It’s just another way those Repugs have to waste time and money. Get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7I wouldn’t care what they did for entertainment if we weren’t all paying for it and watching them pretend to govern and not doing anything constructive. I’m going to go read a dumb novel. What do you think about ISIS and is it our job to go try to fix it? String of bad words here. I wanted to put a sign in our front yard saying HOW MANY IRAQIS DO YOU WANT TO KILL? but my daughter in law said it might be misunderstood.
8I’m with you Marge Wood–
9If I did even a portion of the things I think of doing I would be so far over the edge that no one would understand me…
It’s bad enough to be dyslexic, dyscaculate, have synesthesia ADHD and be an ecstatic mystic…
I’m so misunderstood normally that I spoke in a whisper, if I spoke at all until I was 35…There has been the devil to pay since…they want sharia law…I’m thinking we go back to prehistoric versions of God worship a d let women be in charge–it seems to be a mystery where children come from now–only women are held responsible…so if that’s how it’s going to be then we need the money and power as well. Certainly we would do as least as well as the males have done…
Nothing they do or say surprises me anymore. I’ve become shockproof.
