If elected, will Barbara Comstock vote to impeach?

It is a legitimate question, and one I will ask when the Comstock people come knocking at my door. Does she understand the "high crimes" committed by the President?

This question will tell us who the real Barbara Comstock is. Is she a true "conservative," or a RINO? I hope Fox News asks her this question when she does her next interview.

It's a set up question. There's no impeachment going on other than the one that MSDNC is pushing.

You mean the impeachment Sarah Palin, Steve Stockman, Sean Hannity (dear Friend of Barbara's), Jack Kingston, Randy Webber, Ted Yoho, Ted Cruz, Paul Broun, Louie Gohmert, and Michele Bachmann have all talked about?

Dems talk about impeachment 20 times as much as Republicans

By Molly K. Hooper - 08/07/14 06:00 AM EDT

Congressional Democrats have talked about the impeachment of President Obama 20 times more than Republicans have on the House and Senate floors.

Since the start of the 113th Congress last year, Democrats have used the word “impeach” or “impeachment” regarding Obama 86 times, according to a review of the Congressional Record by The Hill.

Utterances on the floor from Republicans about impeaching Obama, in contrast, have been relatively rare. Only three Republicans in this Congress have raised the subject on the House floor, and the words have been used a total of four times by GOP members.
Most of the talk has come from House Democrats, with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas) alone using the words 18 times in two separate speeches late last month.

In the Senate, where the GOP hopes to retake a majority this fall, not a single Republican has mentioned impeachment on the floor over the last couple of years.

The figures highlight how impeachment has been a hot topic for Democrats, and one most Republicans want to avoid.

The campaign arm for House Democrats raised $2.1 million in online donations over a single July weekend while talking up the possibility that Republicans would impeach Obama.

Most Republicans have sought to avoid the topic, which they see as a lose-lose situation...

Now that is funny. I called her office and asked that she stop using the word "ObamaCare," and use the correct name "The Patient Protection and Affordible Care Act." They argued "ObamaCare" was the name of "the bill." Reminder, the woman said "ObamaCare" was the name of the "bill," not the name of the law. They are referring to it as a "bill"?????

Speculation on a House GOP bid to impeach Obama boosts Democrats’ fundraising

By Wesley Lowery July 28

The Democrats’ congressional campaign arm pulled in $2.1 million in online donations over the weekend — the best four-day haul of the current election cycle — largely propelled by fundraising pitches tied to speculation that House Republicans could pursue the impeachment of President Obama.

Democrats have consistently used impeachment — a prospect that has been floated by several prominent conservatives but has not been embraced by most of the Republican establishment — to fill their campaign coffers, and their polling has shown that fear of an impeachment attempt as well as the House GOP’s efforts to sue Obama have the potential to drive midterm voter turnout on the left.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has brought in more than 114,000 donations since Thursday, when the House Rules Committee voted to go forward with a lawsuit contesting Obama’s use of executive action. Some Democrats have suggested that the lawsuit is a temporary stand-in for impeachment proceedings, and the online haul was spurred in part by nine e-mail fundraising pitches that directly mentioned the prospect of a GOP attempt to pursue impeachment.

Democrats' Impeachment Amnesia

By Carl M. Cannon - August 3, 2014

One disconcerting feature of modern liberalism is that so many Democrats consider it reasonable to judge the Republican Party by its most rhetorically untethered adherents: Sarah Palin, for one. Or Rush Limbaugh. Texas Congressman Steve Stockman is another example.

Those three have been trying to nudge their fellow conservatives in the direction of impeaching President Obama. This suicidal idea has been duly ignored by the Senate Republican leadership, the House leadership, and every potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate. It has been rejected out of hand, really, by almost every prominent Republican in the country, including the never-shy Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Limbaugh is a famous talk radio provocateur; Palin a failed vice presidential candidate who resigned from Alaska’s governorship after less than one full term to cash in as an author and Fox News talking head. Stockman is a fringe character departing the House after losing a Republican senatorial primary in a landslide. In other words, these are not people in positions of authority or responsibility within the Republican Party.

The actual officeholders and party professionals stoking impeachment talk are all Democrats. This is disquieting for several reasons. For starters, having White House officials and leading congressional Democrats claim with straight faces that impeachment is a serious threat is cynical and dishonest. Its purpose is to frighten liberals into donating money to Democrats, a tactic that is working. But it suggests a political party that is out of gas and out of ideas.

Speaking in Kansas City last week, Obama sounded more Valley Girl than presidential. “We could do so much more if Congress would just come on and help out a little bit,” he complained. “Stop being mad all the time. Stop just hating all the time.”

On Capitol Hill, Democrats deliberately conflated the loose talk of impeachment with the House Republicans’ pending lawsuit against Obama over a series of executive orders and administrative waivers regarding the Affordable Care Act. This, too, is a nasty little ploy: Impeachment is a right-wing fantasy. Going to court over the separation of powers disputes is a way to address constitutional disputes.

Yet, there was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi glowering at her Republican counterparts during Wednesday’s debate on the lawsuit while accusing Speaker John Boehner of pandering to “impeachment-hungry extremists.”

“Tell them impeachment is off the table,” she added, a reference to liberal calls a decade ago to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. “That’s what I had to do.” As Pelosi knows, that’s precisely what John Boehner has already done. But that wasn’t the worst of it from the Democratic side—not hardly.

When it was her turn to speak, and she rarely misses such a chance, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee called the lawsuit resolution “a veiled attempt for impeachment [that] undermines the law that allows a president to do his job.”

It’s unclear what “law” she had in mind, but the Texas congresswoman was just getting going: “A historical fact that President Bush pushed this nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists,” she added. “We did not seek impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority.”

Historical confusion, constitutional illiteracy, and mangled syntax aside, this statement wasn’t merely inaccurate. It was peculiar. That’s because on June 10, 2008, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat, introduced a measure titled “Impeaching George W. Bush, president of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Eleven of Kucinich’s fellow progressives signed on as co-signatories. These weren’t talk radio or cable TV entertainers—or marginalized members on their way out of Congress, like Steve Stockman. The sponsors of the Bush impeachment bill were congressional liberals in good standing with the Democratic leadership in the House, and most of them are still there, including—yes, you guessed it—Sheila Jackson Lee.

“She misspoke,” her press secretary Mike McQuerry told inquiring reporters.

Democrats Are Way More Obsessed With Impeachment Than Republicans

12:54 PM JUL 30 By NATE SILVER

House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday that Republicans have no plans to impeach President Obama, and that all the impeachment talk was driven by Democrats hoping to stir up their base.

Boehner’s statement isn’t literally true: There have been mentions of impeachment around the edges of the GOP and by some Republican members of Congress. But on the whole, Democrats are spending a lot more time talking about impeachment than Republicans.

Consider, for example, the Sunlight Foundation’s Capitol Words database, which tracks words spoken in the House and Senate. So far in July, there have been 10 mentions of the term “impeachment” in Congress and four others of the term “impeach.” Eleven of the 14 mentions have been made by Democratic rather than Republican members of Congress, however.

Impeachment chatter has also become common on cable news. On Fox News this month, Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, called for Obama’s impeachment, for instance. But for every mention of impeachment on Fox News in July, there have been five on liberal-leaning MSNBC.

This data comes from a Lexis-Nexis search of transcripts on each network. It counts each mention of the words “impeach” or “impeachment.” The terms were used 32 times in a single episode of MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” on Monday. (Ordinarily, I’d adjust for the overall volume of words spoken on each network, but I know from my previous research that MSNBC and Fox News have about the same number of words recorded in Lexis-Nexis.)

The scoreboard so far in July: Fox News has 95 mentions of impeachment, and MSNBC 448. That works out to about 2.7 mentions per hour of original programming on MSNBC, or once every 22 minutes. (This data is as of late Tuesday afternoon.)

silver-datalab-impeach-11.png?w=610&h=47

MSNBC hasn’t become quite as obsessed with impeachment as CNN was with Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, but it may be getting there. Impeachment mentions on MSNBC increased sixfold from May to July. Overall, since Jan. 1, MSNBC has mentioned impeachment 905 times to Fox News’s 213.

Some of the impeachment discussion from Democratic politicians and liberal commentators has a kind of a Br’er Rabbit quality. “Only please, Br’er Republicans, don’t impeach President Obama!” they say. But Democrats know such a move would be highly unpopular with the public and might be one of the few things that would revive their long-shot chances of recapturing the House of Representatives in November. In the meantime, Democrats have raised a bundle of money — at least $2.1 million — through emails like these:

screen-shot-2014-07-29-at-9-57-40-pm.png

The Democrats’ strategy has a parallel in 2006. That year, Republicans tried to rally their base around purported Democratic threats to impeach President George W. Bush. Back then, Fox News was more likely to invoke the specter of impeachment, with 374 mentions of the term from Jan. 1 to July 29, 2006, compared with MSNBC’s 206.

Hey, those clowns shut down the government, those clowns demanded to make the decisions in Syria, and punted, those clowns voted against meaningful gun sale reform, many of those clowns say children on the border are carrying in Ebola, and those clowns all say the morning after pill is abortion. Do you think that maybe they are crazy enough to try and impeach? I wouldn't put it past them.

You mean like an alternate reality where Democrats attempt to manipulate gullible liberals into sending them money over some bullshit impeachment talk? And they do?

Even if she would, it doesn't matter. The GOP will probably not win enough seats to control the Senate in any meaningful way (remember, you need 60 votes to do anything).

And do you really want Biden as president?

She should be required to wear two bags over her head while in public in case one breaks. She is butt ugly. She is also dumber then a sack of hair. Where do they find these people? Walmart? Imagine being such a moron that you think she is smart and would vote for her. Pathetic, really pathetic. The Teaparty proves how much lead some people have ingested.

Here's what we know. John Foust's wife is a long-time business partner of Eric Holder's wife. Eric Holder's wife and John Foust's own wife endorse him on his website. Now, does anyone think that Foust would hold Obama accountable when he has close ties with an attorney general whose primary responsibility is acting as a roadblock for any investigation into the Obama administration. A vote for Foust is a vote against accountability in government.

Unless Obama does something more stupid than what he has already done--and even then--he will not be impeached.
This is a red herring.

Has anyone asked Foust why his supporters (Sens. Wexton and Howell, among others) voted to stop a bill against domestic violence in committee? Talk about a war on women.
