In reply to the discussion: Will the GOP attempt Impeachment Hearings Over Petraeus-Benghazi Issue? [View all]Ruby the Liberal
(26,219 posts)33. I don't see them having the political capital
We just picked up another house seat in AZ this morning (and a bi-sexual chick, no less) and there are still 5 seats not called. Per WaPo, all 5 are leaning Dem right now. That only brings us to ~200 of 218 (give or take one).
I really don't see the teahadists pulling the same shit this coming term. West and Walsh are out, Grayson is back in. I could be wrong, it just *feels* different this time. Not to mention the Operations/Think Tank wing of the GOP is railing unrelentlessly on the "Conservative Entertainment Complex" wing for costing them the election AND all of their pet referendums.
We shall see, but I really think the pin has burst the bubble of stupidity this time.

OP
I suspect any GOP obstruction will be met with a whole lot of People protesting nationwide.

Which is ludicrous because if the President knew before them, Schmoe would be outraged.

They'll say that the president is guilty of a cover-up and risked nat'l security. nt

Impeach Eric Cantor? Or arrest the FBI person that informed him of investigation?
