Democrats Are Attempting To Raise Funds Over Possible Impeachment

Impeachment is a many-splendored thing. There are layers and facets and intricacies and technicalities. The important question is once more, "what did the president know and when did he know it?" We probably will not get this question answered as long as Eric Holder is in office. Some Democrats favor the immediate impeachment of the president. To Democratic Senate candidate Kesha Rogers, BHO has already committed impeachable offenses and corrective action is overdue. http://obotomy.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-radio-interview-with-kesha-rogers.html Rogers' viewpoint is that the Republicans do not want impeachment because they want to keep Obama around as a fundraising godsend. Could be. Rush Limbaugh says the GOP will never impeach the president because of his unique iconic status. Never mind that he might just be the worst of the worst American political criminals, he is also the first African-American president and as such he is immune to criticism, to say nothing of prosecution. Meanwhile, the Democrats are desperate for a political issue to save their grip on the Senate. Is impeachment the cause celebre that could unify a political party that seems to have exhausted its ideas? Anything, to distract from Obamacare? "He's trying so hard...racists...racism...cool celebrity friends..." If the IRS scandal can be traced back to the White House (and it seems that it can) impeachment is tough to avoid. This could divide the GOP along the same lines that divide immigration policy. For a multitude of reasons, The Beltway/Establishment GOP would probably oppose impeachment. The unwashed masses who are vaguely familiar with the US Constitution, US History and the rule of law might hold a different perspective. My viewpoint is that impeachment is a bubbling volcano and all of the entrenched punditry who will tell us "what we should be discussing..." will ultimately join in the discussion. The ground is shaking.
