Hello Bob,
According to the latest poll, this one by
CNN, 57% of Republicans favor impeaching
President Barack Obama, while 33% of all
Americans favor impeachment.
Since Republicans now control both the
House and the Senate, Republican politicians
are openly talking about doing just that.
Not as an idle threat, but making it a reality.
Are Republicans insane? Are the American people
insane? Are our elected officials insane?
Richard Nixon resigned from office in disgrace.
But he was never impeached. Nor was he forcibly
removed from office.
Democrats knew better than to impeach an unpopular
president,
and sure hated to see him leave the White
House when he did. But even so, Democrats still won
68 Senate seats and almost 2/3rds of the House, along
with the Presidency in 1976. In fact, due to Nixon's
unpopularity, Democrats controlled both the Senate
and the House for the ehtire Carter presidency.
The fact of the matter is that good things happen for
the American people when Democrats control everything -
FDR, JFK, LBJ, Jimmy Carter (entire terms in office)
Harry Truman, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama (partial terms in office)
Those were the best of times.
On the other side of the coin, bad things happen for
the American people when Republicans control everything -
Herbert Hoover, George W. Bush ...
Those were the worst of times.
How quickly people forget.
The economic crash of 2007.
The ineptitude of Katrina.
The invasion of Iraq.
The invasion of Afghanistan.
The events of 9-11.
The squandering of the surplus.
That is the legacy of George W. Bush.
You want to know why folks continue
to love and adore Bill Clinton?

Are our elected officials insane?

In six years, the Obama Administration has managed the
creation of 6.8 million new jobs in the private sector.
Millions of working Americans have also been given the
opportunity to have health insurance for the first time
in their lives. All thanks to Obamacare.

Actually, Nixon resigned under duress from the liberal
pressure from an impeachment threat if he didn't.
Herbert Hoover, George W. Bush ...
LOL! At least they were honest.
The economic crash of 2007.
Happened in 2008 with reality setting in that the O'bama
would be elected Prez that year.
Wrong order. 9-11 happened first.
Then the other Hussein
made the mistake of bragging about his nuclear capability
(yelow cake storage, etc.) and everyone believed him, to
his own demise.
The squandering of the surplus.
Happened on the other Hussein's watch.
Are Republicans insane?
Yes.
Are the American people insane?
Quite possibly.
Are our elected officials insane?
Most likely, at least a substantial number.
The fact of the matter is that good things happen for
the American people when Democrats control everything -
True.

the American people when Republicans control everything -
True.

True.

Still true.

That is the election I dread.

A vice president to an impeached president?
Why would he want to be humiliated by the defeat he would surely face?
Republicans had to beg Richard Nixon to resign from office.
Democrats had threatened, but were never really serious,
about impeaching the guy or removing him from office. And
to think Republicans almost pulled it off, with Gerald Ford
losing a very close race to Jimmy Carter.
That was back in 1976, when politicians still had brains.
Fast forward to 2000, the beginning of the end of politics.
Republicans had impeached, but not removed from office)
President Clinton, who was already barred by the
Constitution from being able to run for a third consecutive
term. If Bill Clinton would have had any brains, he would
have resigned from office.
President Gore would easily
have defeated the Republican upstart, George W. Bush, and
there would have been no 9-11.
We all know what happened next. Al Gore won the presidency,
but was never allowed to hold his properly elected office.
Joe Biden has been involved in 67 political races.
As far as I know, Joe Biden remains undefeated, and
will be 73 years young in 2016 ...
Republicans had to beg Richard Nixon to resign from office.
Democrats had threatened, but were never really serious,
Repubicans decided Nixon had to go, back then Republicans could
actually agree with Democrats when the facts were obvious. A lot
time.

I blame the pardon for that.
That was back in 1976, when politicians still had brains.
Oh, you already made that point.
Fast forward to 2000, the beginning of the end of politics.
I think the Nixon pardon was. It was the start on the downhill
slope.

President Clinton, who was already barred by the
Constitution from being able to run for a third consecutive
term. If Bill Clinton would have had any brains, he would
have resigned from office.
He should have finished at least 2 yrs of his second term, but I
don't think resigning would have done that much good, and it
would have encouraged the right to do that over and over.
President Gore would easily
have defeated the Republican upstart, George W. Bush, and
there would have been no 9-11.
The first part is questionable, but surely possible, the second
could very well have been true.
We all know what happened next. Al Gore won the presidency,
but was never allowed to hold his properly elected office.
Yep. Which could possibly be the fatal blow to this country.
Joe Biden has been involved in 67 political races.
As far as I know, Joe Biden remains undefeated, and
will be 73 years young in 2016 ...
He also suffers from foot in mouth disease. Sad.
Republicans are blaming it all on Clinton. I am not making
this up. I'll have to find the url again for the article,
but they put the blame squarely on Clinton.
Hillary Rodham Clinton. She was the brains behind getting
rid of Richard M. Nixon. And now Republicans want their
revenge.
with Gerald Ford losing a very close race to Jimmy Carter.
I blame the pardon for that.
Gerald Ford made a deal with Rihard Nixon in order to become
Vice President. We all know what that deal was. Upon
becoming President, Ford was to grant Nixon a full pardon
for all crimes committed. Which is exactly what Ford did.
Richard Nixon had some dirt on Gerald Ford. He would not
have appointed Ford as vice president unless he had an
insurance card.
President Ford's mistake was telling the American people
that he had not made a deal with Nixon.
You see, the American people would have gotten mad at him,
but plainly understood, if Ford had said he made a deal with
Nixon so that he could become President. Whether it was
true or not was irrelevant. It is what the American people
would have believed.
When Nixon resigned from office, people were still talking
about Nixon. Nobody cared about Ford. Nobody was talking
about Ford as president or anything else. It was all about
Nixon, and only Nixon.
President Ford had to do something to change the subject.
To do that, he had two choices -
That was back in 1976, when politicians still had brains.
Oh, you already made that point.
Except for Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms.
But they were born that way, kind of like Lady GaGa.
Fast forward to 2000, the beginning of the end of politics.
I think the Nixon pardon was. It was the start on the downhill
slope.
Richard Nixon was a terrible president. Gerald Ford was
not much better, given the number of times he used the veto
pen. Jimmy Carter was an exceptional leader, having a
higher percentage of legislation passed than any president
in history, including LBJ.
Ronald Reagan was a decent
actor, a popular president, but did not accomplish much of
anything during his time in office.
Bush41 sought to bring about a "New World Order".
Bill Clinton was the most beloved president
of our times,
getting along with members of both parties in
Congress, and leaving office with the highest popularity
rating in American history.
Bush43 managed to mangle the
English language in ways unimaginable, and is best
forgotten.
Barack Obama is the black man's best friend,
and the black man's worst enemy, depending on which version
of black history you want to believe.
And then there is Hillary Rodham Clinton. The 45th
President of the United States ...
He should have finished at least 2 yrs of his second term, but I
don't think resigning would have done that much good, and it
would have encouraged the right to do that over and over.
On second thought, Bill Clinton should have run for a third
consecutive term, the 22nd Amendement be damned ...
President Gore would easily
have defeated the Republican upstart, George W. Bush, and
there would have been no 9-11.
The first part is questionable, but surely possible, the second
could very well have been true.
There are rumors that brother Jeb set charges in the WTC
Towers which is the real reason they came tumbling down.
Or maybe it was brother Neil. Sometimes those conspiracy
theories get confusing ...
We all know what happened next. Al Gore won the presidency,
but was never allowed to hold his properly elected office.
Yep. Which could possibly be the fatal blow to this country.
Nah. Al Gore says it will be abrupt climate change (global
warming). And he might very well be right. I cannot
imagine Republicans ever running out of hot air. Can you?
He also suffers from foot in mouth disease. Sad.
All the more reason for Republicans NOT to impeach Obama ...
