Grover Norquist hopes congress will impeach Obama...

The (R) brand is seriously damaged, and he's still imagining they've won. For all eternity, too boot.

In my magical world, there would be no (R)s, Blue Dogs or DLC Democrats. But I don't believe in magical thinking. We have to get rid of them the hard way and be patient while doing so.

If so...Yay!

And Obama will win re-election. Knowing the Republican they probably will try to impeach

Grover you are so delusional. Any member of Congress & Senate that signs your crazy no tax pledge should be impeached!!!!! Only oath is to the Constitution & not to some non-elected politcal partisan!!!

They should just slap the irons on him and take him to GITMO like they do with other suspected terrorists! Maybe after 30 or 40 years he might be a changed person!

Some little monster woke up on the wrong side of Sesame Street, I'm thinking...

Curb your enthusiasm, Grover.

enough votes in the house to impeach and enough votes in the senate to remove.

and if you were to ask him about the "high crimes and misdemeanors" that are the grounds for impeachment, he means that obama is <strikeout>black</strikeout> a democrat.

I bet you $10,000 my hope is more likely than his.

To bad there is no surgery to get rid of this pain in the ass.

republicans give up all hope for the Presidency in 2012!!

republicans sign pledges that is against their own interests. I think if I had gone to one of their hometown rallies that would be a question I would ask first off. If he answer that he would sign a pledge then I wouldn't vote for him. I would think this would be illegal.

Rover Grover might just be a member of the Whig party of the 21 century!

in the Senate.

What a fucking idiot.

and they can set up a tax-free colony/state for themselves and the dust. Pfft.

to detain Norquist. After all, he does have ties to terrorist organizations

I really can't figure it out - he must have a massive stash of photos.

...and where they have it stashed.

he's married to a muslim (which is not the point here. Who cares but their side which is the point. They will overlook stuff they hate to lick a dollar bill). their own personal hatreds have no internal cohesion. Fucker straight to the bone. I hope he gets audited. you know he cheats

And why does he matter?

...and he matters because he brings together a lot of like-minded hordes and helps keep them on-target against us. Without people like him they'd be just as likely to break ranks and chew each other apart.

Even though most people have never heard of him. Although far to the right of Reagan, he sees himself as Saint Raygun's torchbearer. He holds a weekly lunch meeting that is a veritable who's who of up and coming Republicans, and conservatives don't get anywhere in DC without his blessing. He makes everyone running for office sign a "tax pledge" that would make Ayn Rand proud, and it gets a little crazier every year. I think it's fair to say that he both shapes and reflects the Republican party's looniness as any given moment.

well.

They aren't good at the scientific method.

republic, permitting the legally agreed upon expiration of a tax reduction meets the constitutional impeachment standards of a "high crime or misdemeanor". You could make a better case for suggesting that any attempt to use the Constitution as a vehicle to remove a sitting president for political expediency is an act of treason.

n/t

Norquist is now going to demand payback for the money he has lavished on Republicans by ordering them to impeach the President.

whoever he is, just conceded the 2012 election to President Obama. He might be on to something, as in what we already know.lol

That's a high crime in Grover's little ledger book.

Mind you, it's not actually a crime, as in "not against the law." As a matter of fact, the tax cut is a law that expires, so this would be Obama honoring the actual law. But it snaps Grover's law in half, and that's ground for impeachment for him. I guess. Who knows what that idiot is thinking?

I know, I'm preaching to the chior.

Repugs in congress have spent the last 4 years doing everything they can to block *any* and *every* measure put out by Obama and then he says shit like this. Norquist is going to learn the hard way one of these days that not everyone is as stupid as the republicans are. He can scheme all he wants on how to manipulate people, but he's been exposed as a liar and a greedy son-of-a-bitch. He better stay close to his ivory tower because that shit won't fly on the streets.

Congress has made no effort to work with Obama.
And there is the real problem.

99.9 % of the people do not care what the fuck he says.

For reasons I still can't quite make out.

That seems to be the new GOP mantra. It's the same old technique: Control the image of the opponent by stating something that is obviously untrue and/or calling into question his/her service and accomplishments. We've seen this movie many times.

So now the rational, fair-minded, consensus-building Obama is being depicted as a stiff-necked, prickly extremist. Expect this to ratchet up throughout the year, and don't be surprised if the media starts taking this as fact. That too is something we've seen a lot in recent years.

Tie Obama up with indictments and slander. This will accelerate their undoing. When you threaten, and then have no power, you are doomed.

Whitewashing the history of a Black President.

Being black? Being right? Being good to babies? Being able to speak English?

I wish these people would get a grip.

why would any american pledge allegiance to anything other than the flag and the republic for which it stands? One nation; indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

That's what I have a problem with when it comes to office holders throwing in with 'pledges' to Norquist. Their first, lawfully sworn duty
is to all of the people for whom they are elected to represent THEIR interests in this government, not to one of its citizens who doesn't want to pay his fair share of taxes.

How would norquist know what was going on in meetings and negotiations Obama is having with whatever party? It's not like
he's in the room--anything he hears, he hears second hand, a.k.a. hearsay, inadmissible. Clearly, he doesn't take seriously
the various polling numbers which have come out recently showing the nation's total disgust with republicans of every level of
government. Wisconsin must have gotten past him.

It is insane and proof of living in an alternative universe to say that Obama has made no effort to work with congress. That has
been the main problem! He goes too far for consensus, when norquist and all those of his stripe know that their mission was
to frustrate the president implementing his policies. It has been admitted to as much by far too many.

Just fuck you, you pig.

then that means that voters support HIS position, not Norquist's, so Norquist is hyper-delusional if he thinks that people are going to support impeachment of Obama over letting the Bush Tax Cuts expire. Disagreeing with Grover Norquist over tax policy is NOT an impeachable offense. I also somewhat doubt if people are going to vote Obama in for a second term, as well as a hyper-obstructionist Republican Congress unless they're really dumb and don't want Obama to do anything.

What a pig.

Tough crap morons! You have to have tangable reasons to impeach! Not just because they are Democrat and you think it's your God given right that a Republican occupies the White House!

There is no way on earth this will happen.

Fact is once the true Americans realize what Norquist and his cronie repubicans are really up too, they will vote them out. If you are senior, a woman, gay, black, Latino, Asian, Jewish, why would you EVER consider being a republican.
