This is not proof that the President lied. it’s just contradictory testimony (testimony that was given under duress, by the way). Prove that Clinton actually did any of those things.
They would see Biden as an easy opponent in 2012. The real problem with the 25th Amendment scheme (apart from the total lack of any reason to declare the President mentally incompetent) is that the Vice President has to be the one to call for it, and he has to be backed by a majority of the Executive branch and/or Congress.
Even pointing out that much is giving the idea more attention than it deserves, though.
On the topic of the Republican plans for the next two years…
Here’s a link to a thread aboutSenator Mitch McConnel (R-Kentucky) who has said:
He does not mention impeachment specifically, but when a Republican SENATOR lists that as the number one important thing that needs to be done - I would think that he would consider any legal way of doing it. After all, it is the single most important thing he wants to achieve.
Once again - these are not random nutbars on the internet proposing that the number one problem facing the nation is the President. These are members of the House and Senate.
There was one randon nutbar on Fox n Friends this morning named Chuck Norris who said, “If the Republican’s don’t take over congress on Tuesday, I’m afraid America won’t even exist in two years,” or words to that effect.
I had no idea Chuck was such a pants-pissing-pussy.
Dare I ask how the health care bill might be unconstitutional?
Impeachment didn’t work last time. Bachmann and Palin and their ilk will urge their followers to find a permanent solution. Yes, they’re that fucking crazy.
It seems that pretty much all Rightists, which is funny considering they’re supposed to be the tough guys.
I guess this just makes him the ultimate Republican.

No, they’ll just really really strongly suggest it, and then be absolutely aghast at the notion that their actions contributed if it ever happens. The President was a great man who they didn’t always agree with but they always supported, dontchaknow.
I think Norris would be a perfect candidate for the
It puts me in mind of all of those people (some of whom are still posting on this board) who said that they would emigrate to Canada if Bush was elected in 2004.
Yes! Those two things are EXACTLY the same, which leads logically to the COMPLETE NEGATION of the original concept! Well done!
:rolleyes:
Were “those people” on Fox’n’Friends or equivalent communistic show?
This may get me reamed, but I’m going with Euphonious Polemic- how are serious statements about America not existing in two years the equivalent of half-joking statements about emigration to Canada?
Because they weren’t half joking, they were totally serious. Both are over the top, histrionic overreactions although clearly the one about America not existing in two years is worse.
I still don’t see the equivalency. I will concede that both are overreactions, but saying that one is going to move to another place as a result of Bush vs. an entire country ceasing to exist? I really think the concept of Republican commentators calamitously predicting the end of America if a few obstructionist Republicans don’t make it to Capitol Hill is completely moronic.
Well, one difference there is that emigrating to Canada is a completely do-able proposition. Whether someone claimed he’d do it and then didn’t really doesn’t enter into the picture.
Is there one non-retarded person in the country who actually thinks America will cease to be if the Republicans don’t win?
ETA: which you’ve already sort of adressed, so never mind.
I just think it’s interesting how we’re hearing Republicans saying revolution is on the table, that America will cease to exist, etc. if Democrats stay in power. Quite honestly, what proof is there that the Democrats are destroying America/being socialist communist evil villains as it is right now? Do they have a secret plan to do so after the election? They’re not deficit spending us into two wars, one completely baseless, starting up warrantless wiretapping programs, causing financial ruin by giving substantial amounts of benefits and handouts to the richest Americans, are they? Gee, I wonder who was in power when all that happened.
Cite?
Actually, I think it’s all a set up. There’s pretty much no way Republicans aren’t going to make great gains during the mid-terms, probably taking the house. At that point they can all go, “Phew, crisis averted. Republicans are in. America’s safe.”
No, it was a blowjob that brought on the impeachment. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it. Drop the figleaf, sir, it’s not concealing anything.
Chuck was obviously half-joking.
Chuck does not have a sense of humor that he is aware of.
