Issa: 'Not a chance' of Obama impeachment under GOP House
By Jordan Fabian - 10/22/10 08:14 AM ET

If Republicans take control of the House, there is "not a chance at this point" that they will try to impeach President Obama, a top Republican lawmaker said this week.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who would helm the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee if the GOP wins on Election Day, said that his party will not try to bring impeachment charges simply because it disagrees with the president.

1. ain't that fucking generous of issa

[louis-t]

2. Did he say "trust me"?

Wait and see how much pressure and threats come from the teabaggers.

[geek tragedy]

4. Do we want them to?

I think GOP civil war over this would be fantastic.

[geek tragedy]

3. It seems impeachment is off the table.

How will their base respond?

5. No they'll just open ten or so investigations of any org that Obama has been remotely

involved in and then try and subpoena him and catch him
changing his testimony.

Then they will try to impeach him just like Clinton.

It's not the act it's lying about the act. That's their
formula and that's their plan.

6. Look for a retraction or "walk back" very soon.

:eyes:

Oh, and did anybody check to see if he had his fingers crossed behind his back? :shrug:

We should trust this guy as much as we trust any Republican politician- which is to say, not at all!

7. Nice qualifier

"his party will not try to bring impeachment charges simply because it disagrees"

In other words "we'll do it, but pretend we have a good reason to."

[Ishoutandscream2]

8. Yes, good catch

Issa has wiggle room here.

[Submariner]

9. Is that felon car thief still around?

Maybe he can team up with the witch who likes meatballs and drive off a f'ing cliff.

[elocs]

10. A chance to impeach Obama must be a GOP wet dream.

Their mindless minions must be orgasmic over the prospect.

[Me.]

11. "At This PoinT"

Is the operative phrase here

[Bitwit1234]

12. He is trying his best to diffuse the rhetoic you better

believe they are going to start and investigation and try to impeach Obama if they had the upper hand. BUT THE AIN'T GONNA GET IT.

[Karmadillo]

13. They owe him for the way he gave Bush/Cheney a pass.

14. If this is true...

...it's only because of the loud and noisy and pre-emptive stink being made about how they're going to do it.
