FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

So pointing out the failings and possible criminal activity of the worst president of our lifetime is "baiting"?

 

Well, Bush was an idiot, but I can't recall him being a criminal.

That was Cheney.

 

Spoken like a person who knows what's coming down the pike, and is terrified of it. You have to wonder if Baron will ever admit he was wrong about Obama. Very doubtful.

 

Where are you gonna get the votes for impeachment?

 

Said everyone in 1973.

 

Hey, if it happens, it happens.

Biden would be a lot of fun then.

 

The fraud has said it many times - he works for us.
As such we may criticize his lousy job performance at length.

 

Yeah, the righteous right can bitch all it wants.
But will there be another GOP clown parade in 2016?

 

The GOP has the votes in the House to impeach him any time they want.

Getting the conviction in the Senate is a different matter.

The difference is, of course, is the Dems could have found a reason to impeach Bush in '07 (treason?) for the lies in Iraq. The Dems not only chose not to do so, but they chose to be adults about the 4,488 deaths and take it off the table.

Let's see if the GOP wants to act like adults about 4 deaths

I'm not terrified of it. I'd be majorly pissed off that the GOP, for a second time, would try to overturn the will of the people and throw a president out of office for, on this occasion, something less serious than what they were in mostly-full approval of in the previous decade.

 

Willful ignorance/delusion is a fascinating thing.

FYI, your little fantasy about the Dems letting Bush off the hook out of the goodness of their hearts is stunning. If they would have had anything remotely resembling treason, or the "lies" you speak of, they would have stumbled over themselves trying to run him off.

You keep talking about these lies Bush supposedly told. Can you give me one or two specific ones...either in speeches or in congressional transcripts? Shouldn't be too hard, right?

 

Sigh. I've posted this already.

How's that delusion thing working for you now, Butters?
