Will Obama Be Impeached?

What I find amusing about the LaRouchites is their obssesion with the British Imperial Menace. That the British Empire has been dead and gone for over 50 years seems to get by them......

I'm actually quite surprised at how conspiratorial the Laroche movement is. So much so that I wonder how the hell does the movement survive? There isn't that much that they haven't gone after.

, and while I don't really care much about Biden, if he was impeached, the speaker of the house would become President

No. The only way that that could happen is if Obama and Biden were impeached simultaneously. If Biden were to take Obama's place (for any reason including impeachment) he would choose his own vice-president (with approval of both houses). Nelson Rockerfeller is the most recent example of this happening.
 
the possibility of an assasination is VERY unlikely. He has more security than any other President befor him. I would also shudder to think of the aftermath of that. Anyways on the impeachment, as a Republican I must say I would hope an impeachment is NOT coming up. If the Republicans regain power befor 2012 it would not be in their best interest.

Why... is that the real question?

Because that´s much more likely to happen?

There are literally millions of people out there who hate Obama with an intensity that borders on the insane - people who think he is a traitor, a communist, a muslim terrorist, and what not. People who think that Obama is going to take away all their rights, turn the US into a communist police state... oh, and have their grandma put down by a death panel, too. Of course, it doesn´t help that so many Republican bigwigs and other figures of right-wing "authority" are doing their best to fan those flames.

These people are oozing patriotic fervor from every pore, too, willingness and even desire to become martyrs included. And since we´re talking about the US here, most of them are armed and dangerous... for various values of dangerous, to be sure, but it only takes one bullet.

Hold on, you need t seperate te people from the party. Also that these people who think Obama is a commie an all of that are not stupid enoug to kill the man. mean people hated bush butyou didn't see someone plotting his death. The people who would be craz enoug to do such thing would e the KKK or the neo-nazis and they have their own party, the don't vote republican.

Er, what party do you think David Duke, Grand Wizard of the KKK and state representative from Louisiana, was a member of?

As Chaos pointed out, it only takes one lone nutcase to kill the president, and that lone nutcase is much more likely to come from the Republican/Tea Party side of the street than the Democratic side. The idea that crazies don't vote republican is,.... well, crazy.
 
well if we want to bring politicians in wo are recorded racist we could bring in Robert Byrd or the Dixiecrats durring the 20th century. Anyways lik I said, if yu want a politica party that ould do something like tht I tink it MORE than likley a meb of the KKK's political party or the Nazi's Political Party.

That's right, and if you want to go back to the dawn of recorded history, you could probably find something nasty to say about the Whigs.

I know that's what you said. I simply pointed out that you're wrong, as you can tell by a glance at the number of Republicancandidates who are actively courting the Tea Party vote.

Your putting a few carts in front of the horse, there. First, the Republicans would have to take over the House and the Senate in order to have any chance at impeachment and conviction. Second, Obama would have to do something worthy of impeachment. I don't like the guy, and didn't vote for him, but I find the notion that he's done anything that calls for impeachment laughable.

This.

Impeachment is a response to a crime, not bad policies. It is not a convoluted form of recall election, it is a prosecutorial process.

Well, that's the theory.

The actual legal situation is a little different, in that impeachment is a response to whatever the House of Representatives wants to make an impeachable offense. Obama could technically be "impeached" for wearing the wrong color tie or for being a Muslim.

How fortunate we were that nobody hated George Bush with an intensity that bordered on the insane--people who thought he was a traitor, a Nazi, an American terrorist and what not.

I *am* separating the people from the party. Problem is, too many of the people are part of the party. Or has, for example, Sarah Palin been excommunicated while I wasn´t looking.

People "hated" Bush for a number of things he actually did. They did *not*, however, hate him for secretly being a root vegetable form Mars or really having been born in Narnia. And said "hatred" has never been nearly as rabid and as widespread as that of Obama is.

And I didn´t say anything about voting, either. True to the old motto of Real American Patriots, these people have found that the ballot box and the jury box don´t work for them - so there´s only the cartridge box left, isn´t there?

Yeah, it's always the OTHER side that has all the crazies and kooks on it. Everybody on MY side is rational and sane.

Well, Bush really was Hitler. I still can't figure out how he allowed Obama to take office.:D

Clinton was impeached for lying about a BJ. Certainly by putting the final handful of nails in the coffin of our financial future Obama has done worse than that.
