All four of the Republican candidates for the congressional seat representing Wisconsin's sixth district indicated on Thursday that they would likely support impeaching President Obama if elected, according to the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.
During a GOP candidate forum in Ozaukee County, Wisc., the candidates agreed that they would support naming a special prosecutor to investigate certain scandals, such as the IRS scandal and collection of bulk data, as the first step in an impeachment process.
"He should be impeached for so many things," state Sen. Glenn Grothman (R) said at the forum.
"You begin to see the markings of a totalitarian state," he added about the pattern created by the administration's IRS and NSA scandals.

(11,014 posts)assuming Michelle is 100% black which may not be the case.
But ... in the rethug world, even 1% black is impeachable ... never mind that many so called pure whites in the US also have black haplotypes.

(21,478 posts)There will never be another Dem president in the next quarter-century who will not be threatened by impeachment. I will be gone by then.
and I'm glad to have an expiration date from this cruel and senseless planet full of hate, stupidity, cruelty and just plain meaness. People who are kind to each other and animals are the only savings grace of humanity. All others............will there ever be peace and harmony? In my 66 years, it's just gotten meaner.
meanwhile, you could not even consider impeaching Dipshit because "IT WOULD TEAR THE COUNTRY APART!"
And, the media and sheeple of this country just muddle along following their lead either way.

(46,322 posts)The current incumbent, Tom Petri has been in congress since the 70's.
He's retiring now, and we'll have to see who wins the GOP primary.
If Grothman is the winner, the democrats will have a ball using Grothman's own stupidity against him.
The other front-runner Leibham, unlike Grothman actually lives in this district, but he made a big stink about some "voter fraud" he claimed to have uncovered, turned out to be bullshit.

(5,279 posts)The sixth district and specifically Glenn Grothman attempted secession from the USA.
Or rather, made the main stream republicans look ideologically impure to an insane base. Tealaban tactics 101.

Since the Republicans are going to hold on to the House even if they lose seats, they will still move to impeach Obama at the start of the next Congress. I fully expect the House to repeatedly vote out Articles of Impeachment over and over again. Even though they know they will not have the 2/3 vote in the Senate to convict, that will not stop the assholes in the House. Their hatred of Obama knows no bounds.
do as you suspect they will insure another Dem. in the White House. People will get fed up with this stupidity and the do nothing house.

(50,555 posts)I know the constitutional requirement for impeachment is the commission of "high crimes and misdemeanors" but those guys started at felonies and went straight to treason.
Hissyspit
(45,788 posts)Although, I'm sure there were some daily misdemeanors buried within all the high crimes and treasons, as well.

I get the republicans playing both ends.
I don't get the media and the dipshits in this country allowing them to do it.
We are fucked.

(16,799 posts)the district is a gerrymandered nightmare sort of a giant H in the middle of the state.
Generally would be a safe seat but an open seat you never know and Harris has some name recognition.
The area is the land of the loony and i have no doubt that the teabaggys will turn out in the primary.
what i am curious about is if the teabaggers go heavy anti foreign worker. The area is very heavy resort with foreign workers--the waterparks are a veritable united nations.....North of there but also in the district are the cranberry bogs--again lots of foreign workers.

(53 posts)isn't it interesting the way the REpublican party is always accusing our POTUS of crimes their own minions commit? Wonder why *VBG*
Since day one, their mission has been to take him down. I even got caught up in the misinformation for two years Till I realized I was a pawn of the powerful by doing so..
Obama is a good man and that is why they attact him. Ethically compromised people cannot stand some folks of other hues having more intelligence than them.The REpublican party acts like some rabid bunch of toddlers on a permanent tantrum. Immature as heck they lie cheat and steal to attain their goals
