NBC NEWS CAUGHT RED HANDED ‘SELECTIVELY EDITING’ & ‘ DOCTORING’ VIDEO TO SMEAR GOV PERRY AS RACIST

So, he is down in the basement with Obama? Perhaps they both should all just resign and go home.

Nobody is talking about anyone resigning. There is a constitutional process in place in the state of Wisconsin that allows voters to recall public officials. That's what happened in Wisconsin over the last few months - democracy at work. If a sufficient number of people in Wisconsin feel that their governor - once he's been in office for more than a year - is not doing what they elected him to do, then they have a right to initiate a recall process. Why is this so controversial? And what does the President have to do with any of that?

So, you would have no problem with the House impeaching Obama because obviously most Americans think he sucks as President?

Two problems with that.

1) The threshold for impeachment is a bit above "the President sucks"

2) A much larger majority of Americans think that Congress sucks

Impeachment is a political process, and takes nothing more than a majority in the House to agree. Removing from office is a bit harder, requiring two-thirds of the Senate to concur.

There is no political process other than expulsion to remove a sitting member of Congress.

Ed Schultz used a deceptive edit to misinform his audience about the content of Gov. Rick Perry's speech in Iowa yesterday. Schultz claimed that Gov. Perry was calling President Obama a "black cloud hanging over America" when in fact, the governor was talking about the national debt.

No surprise here. It's called "getting desperate".

It takes a reason for the impeachment. A low approval rating doesn't meet the standard set forth in the Constitution.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Would be funny if the House actually impeached the President for being unpopular while the House itself is far more unpopular than the President. Not that this would stop Boehner, Cantor and the Tea Party Freaks. They all have no shame.

Constitution gives Congress the ability to determine their own rules for proceeding.

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Constitution gives Congress the ability to determine their own rules for proceeding.

In regards to it's members, yes. Last I checked, the President was not a member of Congress.

What are you talking about? The President is irrelevant in an impeachment proceeding. The House Rules Committee is God when it comes to impeachment.

There were 9 recall elections in total and the only one's that lost any of them - two to be precise - were Hosni's people. Looked at another way, the Democrats won 5 of the 9 while Republicans took 4. Going in, Republicans held 6 of the contested seats and Democrats held 3. Now, Democrats hold 5 and Republicans 4. Not exactly a grand endorsement of Hosni Walker. I think Hosni still has it coming. He just hasn't been in office long enough yet to be eligible for recall. That will change come January and I have a feeling that the effort to unseat him will go forward. He's not a well liked governor: 59% Disapprove of Walker's Performance

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.

The Dems have no possiblility of gaining back control of the senate. They were mathmatically eliminated last week.

Walkers and Obama's disapproval ratings are similar. Do you call him Hosni Obama?

How did the phony liberals here change this topic away from the fact that news is being distorted by phony liberals to discredit political opponents?

Why can't the phony liberals give us reasons to vote FOR them? Why doesn't President Downgrade run on his accomplishments?

Can we impeach congress ...... pluzzzzze

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

What are you talking about? The President is irrelevant in an impeachment proceeding. The House Rules Committee is God when it comes to impeachment.

As is the Constitution which sets a minimum standard for when a President can be impeached.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

No, I don't. Wouldn't make any sense. I detailed earlier in this thread why it wouldn't make any sense.

President Downgrade

You'd come across less ignorant if you consumed a fact or two every now and then.
