2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I'm beginning to understand why Pelosi resisted impeachment proceedings against Bush. [View all]HeiressofBickworth
(2,682 posts)56. There are three reasons the GOP House members will try to impeach:
1. Romney/GOP lost the election
2. The GOP can't stand a Black President
3. They want to teach other "uppity n...rs" to stay in their place (which definitely ISN'T the White House)
With Clinton, the GOP had only one reason to impeach:
1. Bush I lost the election
And, no, the Senate will never convict but the message will have been sent to any other person of color who might like to make a go at being elected to the highest office in the country.
The GOP does not take election losses lightly. They now are trying to figure a way to rig elections so another Democrat can never win any election.
The GOP is so sickeningly, frighteningly evil it is beyond any words I can muster to define.

The Pukes will try impeachment this term. Not prosecuting war criminals is a poor precedent.

If they try it, they will be exposed as the anti-democratic obstructionists that they are. n/t

They're already exposed for any soul paying attention, but they'll try anyway. nt

If it’s any consolation, I don't think there's a statute of limitations on war crimes

Maybe Democrats thought a lame duck Bush was better than the evil Dick Cheney.
