Harry Reid draws deep to start a fire, so he can be the hero to put it out. Only Democrats are talking impeachment. Fear is their tool, and they use it so well. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/29/reid-warns-impeachment-fears-fundraising-email/
Oh, and naturally conservative candidates don't use fear mongering and paranoia to their advantage because after all they are conservatives. America is bankrupt. Obamacare death panels. ISIS will raise their flag over the white house. Ebola could destroy our nation. Either you are just playing partisan, or you honestly have forgotten all the paranoia generate by republicans. We definitely want the next attack to be in the form of a mushroom cloud, do we?
An entertaining overreaction. Mushroom cloud? really? Let's stay on point, shall we? Oh, thank you for confirming Mr. Reid's fear mongering.
No, I got your point. You wish to point out flagrant uses of fear from the republican sides. Yes, it is true, both sides use it. However in this case... Reid is following the mantra (talking points as it were) to plant a seed, trying to convince voters that a republican senate's primary goal is to impeach the president. This is simply not true. ... every last member of the House and Senate should be given their walking papers. They have failed us.
It amazes me that some people cannot respond to threads without making some negative comment about the intelligence of the person to whom they are responding. I was told this is a good place for decent discussion and open minded participants. It is unfortunate that many make that yet another fantasy.
Either you are playing partisan or you really are a fool. Sen. Harry Reid does not rise to the level of a fireman starting fires. He would be more like a fireman calling in false fire alarms. Actually starting a fire would entail more risk that Sen. Harry Reid is willing to take. His peak is making phony claims about receiving an anonymous phone call saying that Gov. Romney went ten years without paying taxes. And all the little Democrats demand that the charge be answered. It's time we all ignore Sen. Reid and his shills.
Obama has rightly been voted the worst president in history. IMO Reid can and should be voted the worst Senate leader ever!! He is the sole reason for the do nothing Congress of late.
Impeachment came up a number of times during the House Judiciary Committee's hearing on Enforcing the President's Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws. Would the GOP follow through? Doubt it. But the idea that it's some conspiracy dreamed up by Democrats is demonstrably untrue.
Oh, so you wish to debate the specifics and not the practice. Considering it is fear mongering, but possesses a small kernel of truth since this claim arises out of comments made by idiotic hard right wingers to impeach him and try him for treason and the like, there ain't many specifics to discuss. Only the idiotic hard left would actually think that the republicans would have such large steel balls. I would be willing to bet 90% of incumbents running will get elected.
My point, which you seem to be oblivious to, is that the right's excoriation of Reid for ginning up fear in his base is incredibly hypocritical since it is a STANDARD TACTIC of politics. As to demanding answers to unsubstantiated accusations, you apparently have missed the past few years of wild unsubstantiated accusations made by the right, from Obama being a Kenyan muslim, to ACA death panels, to ebola infected illegals pouring over the border. Or perhaps you simply believe that crap so you don't notice the absences of substantiation. But then again I should not surprised that entrenched partisans can't see in themselves what they see in their opposition.
Democrats having been using fear for longer than Karl Rove has been alive. The war on poverty, the War on Drugs started by Democrats in the thirties, the war on guns, every thing the left has done since Roosevelt has used fear as its driver. It's always a crisis whether it is or not.
politics as usual. Just so the hopeful do not get too excited, impeachment is not even a possibility at this point or after the election, the process would take too long, they have to have overwhelming evidence, they do not and they have to have the votes and even with a majority in Congress it would not be enough. So much for the claims from the left and the fantasies of the right. Yes, reality can blow, but it is at least real.
My position is that dems are creating the illusion that repubs are bent on impeachment, in attempts to get more of their people to the polls. At the moment, you do NOT hear many (if any) repubs calling for impeachment.
Multiple polls show that a majority of Republicans support impeachment. Democrats didn't create this illusion, they are simply taking advantage of it.
