Teabagger at town hall asks McCain why Obama has not yet been impeached by Congress [View all]

Notice how the teabagger gets shitload of cheers for asking the question:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) defended President Barack Obama at a Phoenix town hall Wednesday when a constituent asked him why Congress had not impeached the president.

"I do not believe that the President has committed impeachable offenses -- that's high crimes," McCain said in response to a woman named Angelica. While McCain received scattered applause for his answer, Angela received significantly more cheers from the audience for her question.

"But I would remind you, and I hate to remind you, I really dislike reminding you -- the president just was reelected by a majority of the American people," he added.

It was a strangely familiar position for McCain, who, during the 2008 presidential election, famously defended then-candidate Obama at a town hall when a questioner said the Democratic candidate was "an Arab."

These folks at the McCain town halls are dumber than a box of rocks. These are the same idiots who want to deter immigrants with guns and think undocumented immigrants get government benefits. They have no clue about how government functions or current policy. I would also note how they are pretty much all old white people....the shrinking and shriveling GOP base.
