Where We're Headed

by The Reverend on February 17, 2010

in 2008 election,Barack Obama,Clinton impeachment,corruption,GOP,media,sarah palin,tea parties

Story of this Wisconsin billboard here.

By definition, in modern America, if a Democrat has been elected president……impeachment is the response. It all started in earnest with the nationally embarassing "birther" folks….Palin, Partiers, and the Fox Propagandists who love them, have successfully convinced over half of all Republican voters that Obama, really, is not one of us.

The only resolution to the Obama "problem", at least for bizarro conservatives, is impeachment. No reason will be necessary, just as there was no reason for the Clinton impeachment.

Everything we've witnessed from our hopelessly corrupt corporate media industry since Obama became president has been for the purpose of returning GOP tax-cutters-for-the-wealthiest back to Congressional power. The drooling by the likes of Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Anyone at Fox, et.al……drooling that has gone on every day since January 20, 2009…..is all over hope of a GOP comeback.

If that comeback emerges, it will be accompanied with full metal jacket Villager assistance, just like in the 90's. If the GOP reclaims the House, Senate or both this November……can there really be any doubt that everything will be on the table…..including impeachment?

Obama has been president for less than 13 months. Already, American idiots are paying for billboard ads calling for Obama's impeachment.

    It's that darned free speech thing again, Reverend!

  • averagejoe5

    King the thing about Cheney and Bush is that the left has repeated that lie so much it has become their truth.

  • Andrea

    Da King not one company, things like this have been seen everywhere even in NY especially at tea party gatherings. I bet if you ask them what specifically do not like about Obama's plan for small businesses they wont have a clue.

    Just like the tea bagger wearing a sign that said "Keep government out of my health care " – the same jerk yelled to the congressman why don't you people just fix our health care – the congressman said "well thats what we are trying to do "

  • Andrea

    Ny times yesterday's front page article is very good in showing the paranoia. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/us/politics/16teaparty.html
    You can see how people who were not politically active or informed when something bad happens to them a job loss etc and they've been listening to the likes of people like Glen Beck and brainwashed by Fox – they start to think the government is evil. I am sure many of them perhaps were always afraid of " blacks " as well , so they bought into conspiracy theories and became birthers and the tea party/ Saran Palin movement. These gullible sad folks have been mislead into actually joining a group that does not support things they really can use – like health care reform and unemployment insurance.

    from FactlarryD.com…….

    statement from Tom Wroblewski who represents the unnamed company….“The company (that paid for the billboard) is supported by a number of area businessmen who are concerned about tax and spend politics. The billboard is not meant to allege any impeachable offense has been committed"

    it's not meant to allege any impeachable offense has been committed? WTF?

    why would those businessmen be worried about tax and spend…..I would think a more pressing matter would be their own stupidity

  • larry d.

    Oh, Andrea is playing the race card again. How refreshing!

  • The Reverend

    From the unnamed company quote via walter….

    "The billboard is not meant to allege any impeachable offense has been committed."

    Think about that. No reason, no justification for impeachment…….just do it anyway. That's EXACTLY what happened to Clinton.

    Also consider this…..Clinton had to bend over backwards and give in to Republican policies because of their majority in Congress…NAFTA, ending welfare as we know it, etc……and that still wasn't enough for the crazed GOP, they had to have their impeachment extravaganza.

    The Republican political party is, and has been for quite awhile, an enemy of the American people.

  • Da King

    Andrea,
    The Tea Party movement has all kinds of ideas and knows full well about Obama's small business proposals. It seems it's only you who doesn't know what the Tea Party movement is about. Not surprising when you get your silly talking points from MS-NBC, who can only slander the Tea Party movement as racist. Such left-wing imbeciles shouldn't even be dignified with a response.

    If you really want to know what the Tea Party movement is up to (and you probably don't, preferring instead the liberal lies), then maybe you should read this, which is a list of policy proposals the Tea Partiers are voting on:

    Wake up.

  • The Reverend

    Lots and lots of very radical policies listed there at your link, King. It's hard for me to understand how a group of ultra-conservative Americans today would want to take us back to 1930. But there it is. Party on.

  • Da King

    Rev,
    Because you said nothing at all in your last response, here is the list of twenty policies the Tea Party is voting upon (they have not yet adopted any of them). Please let me know which ones are "radical" and will set us back to 1930. I can't wait to hear this.

    - Amending the constitution to require a balanced budget and a two-thirds majority for any tax hike.
    - Permanently repealing all tax hikes scheduled to begin in 2011.
    - Requiring every bill in Congress to be made public seven days before any vote can be taken and all government expenditures authorized by any bill to be easily accessible on the Internet before the money is spent.
    - Requiring each bill to identify the specific provision of the Constitution that gives Congress the power to do what the bill does.
    - Permitting all health insurance plans to be sold anywhere in the United States through the purchase of insurance across state lines. Allow small businesses and associations to pool together across state lines to buy insurance.
    - Adopting a simple and fair single-rate tax system by scrapping the internal revenue code and “replacing it with one that is no longer than 4,543 words — the length of the original Constitution.”
    - Imposing a statutory cap limiting the annual growth in total federal spending to the sum of inflation rate plus the percentage of population growth.
    - Allowing Americans to opt out of Social Security and Medicare and instead put those same payroll taxes in a personal account “they own, control and can leave to whomever they choose.”
    - Preventing any regulation or tax on the Internet.
    - Improving education by eliminating ineffective and wasteful programs, giving parents more choices from pre-school to high school and improving the affordability of higher education.
    - Authorizing the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries and reduce regulatory barriers to all other forms of energy creation, lowering prices and creating competition.
    - Prohibiting the Federal Communications Commission from using funds to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
    - Creating a Blue Ribbon task force that engages in a complete audit of federal agencies and programs.
    - Blocking state and local governments that receive federal grants from exercising eminent domain over private property for the primary purpose of economic development or enhancement of tax revenues.
    - Preventing the EPA from implementing costly new regulations.
    - Placing a moratorium on all earmarks until the process is fully transparent. Also requiring a two-thirds majority to pass any earmark.
    - Making all lawmaking regulators, including presidential appointed czars, be affirmatively approved by Congress and signed into law by the president.
    Audit the Federal Reserve System.
    - Making sure the federal government does not bail out private companies. The government should also immediately divest itself of its stake in the private companies it owns from recent bailouts.
    - Amending the constitution to require congressional term limits. No person shall be elected to the Senate more than twice or to the House of Representatives more than four times.
    - Making all regulations “sunset” after 10 years unless renewed by congressional vote.
    - Broadcasting all non-security meetings and votes on C-SPAN and the Internet.

  • The Reverend

    The first two…for starters….are outrageous.

    California is suffering today because of ignorant tricks like number one.

  • Da King

    Balancing the budget is outrageous ???????????

    Nutball alert !!!

  • The Reverend

    The problem is in the methods being proposed to balance the budget. Misguided.
