The GOP is NUTS!

I read the other days that House republicans are confident that they have the votes to impeach President Obama. To paraphrase Joe Biden: "Big fucking deal." It's the political equivalent of saying: "I'll sue you!". You still have to be able to go to court, present a viable case and win. Impeachment happens in the senate and it's not supposed to be taken lightly, like when adulterous congressmen were aghast about Bill Clinton getting a presidential blow job. If they were of the same party, Newt Gingrich would have been asking for Monica's phone number instead of impeaching Bill. And impeachment is not like in the war movies where the lieutenant threatens the private with a courts martial. That too is a process rather than a verdict. None mean that you can just take your opponent outside and shoot them.

Of course, the republicans started calling for Obama's impeachment pretty much from the moment he won, a couple of months before he even took the oath of office. Six years later, many still don't comprehend what impeachment means. They likely never will.  We're talking about a party where 1/3 of the republicans in Louisiana blamed President Obama for the poor response to hurricane Katrina. The hurricane, you may recall, happened in 2005, three years before Obama became President.

Well, no matter. Never mind, for example, that 97% of scientists know that global warming is a threat to the entire planet, if you don't believe that based on your religious and/or political beliefs, you are as *right* as they are. That's politics today. It's a belief system that suspends all logical belief for some people. Rick Perry can say he's not a scientist (duh) but he can debunk climate change or homosexuality based on gut feelings. Well, there you go. Go play in traffic. If you believe you won't get run over, surely you won't.

I would like to believe that the DNC was behind this video but I know that it was from the GOP and has the Reince Preibus seal of approval. I believe it is nutty though!

The GOP is after your nuts because they don't have enough.
