I ask for predictions...going to give you one for 2014

[GordonGecko]

You're going to see a spike up in "impeachment" talk from Rightwing Media (Radio, Fox, Drudge, websites) leading up to the 2014 Midterms.

Why? No...not some actual idea for impeaching the President. To "fire up" the GOP Base into thinking that "If we can only get a GOP Senate, we COULD impeach Obama". After their abysmal performance in the Shutdown, the Base will need something to really get their juices flowing to go to the ballot box. Since numerically a "veto-proof" GOP Senate is tough (thus "repealing Obamacare" not a strong possibility....plus it's getting to be a threadworn promise ).....

talk of an impeachment will reallly get the Obama Derangment Syndromers cooking.

Now, naturally, (even if the GOP gets the majority in the Senate), the Republicans don't for one minute have any ACTUAL plans on impeaching the President....they learned their lesson under Newt. So it's a phoney promise to the Righties....but no doubt many of them will fall for it and post same, here at PJ and other blogs.

This is a 100% guaranteed future event. I have no doubts.

BTW, one more prediction....a rightwinger or two will come on this thread and want to talk about me...not my prediction.

That might represent a risk for some of the more normal GOP. If impeachment is bandied about and the GOP doesn't follow through, the Tea Partian kooks might primary them for it.

Speaking of Tea Party "kooks", I know but a half dozen people who are devoted disciples of their mindset and all of them are really sort'a "kooky" rabble rousers who wear those T-shirts and rattle on wherever they go about being members of such a glorious example of "real" Americans.

Yeah, bunch of crazy guys and their crazy shirts! You tell 'em Gramps!

Surely you don't think the 21st century tea partiers have anything in common with the founders of this nation!

What is the document that the Tea Party most often refers to?

You forget, by 2016, if there is no impeachment, the Tea Partyers will be re-focused on the next Presidential election.

Given their short attention spans, they'll be too busy calling the Demcoratic Nominee a "Communist" (or a "murderer" if it's Hillary)....and fighting for control of the GOP Nomination...

to have noticed that the impeachment promise was dropped by the Repubs.

Couple of them owned slaves...and I'm sure some Tea Partyers would like to own slaves.

But they're also easily manipulated, Gramps....hence their utter devotion to charletans and hucksters on Talk Radio.

The GOP will convince those morons that if the Republicans get the majority in the Senate, that they'll "impeach Obama and have Federal Marshalls drag him out of the White House in chains"....and they'll believe it.

Then, once the election is over, GOP Senate or not.....the whole thing gets constantly pushed back until the Obama Deranged are too busy thinking about the 2016 Republican Primaries to care.
