More comedy gold from Sen. Inhofe

After browsing through the Huckabee thread, it looks like the vast right-wing conspiracy is at it again.  Perhaps they should just attempt to impeach every two-term Democratic President since they have nothing better to do.

Then Inhofe said this about former SoS Clinton:

The GOP are all hacks, I know it isn't fair to brand them all.....but I am tried of this bullsh**t. There are really issues that they should be focusing on and they are focusing on this nonsense......GTFO.

I think the hallmark of a good faith investigation is people talking about impeachment BEFORE the investigation starts or the hearings are over.  And of course anyone that takes issue with that obviously is against investigating the death of a diplomat.

[JerryArkansas]

I really think that articals of impeachment are already written by some of these people.  I think that since the republicans have done this twice before, it will happen again.

[Brittain33]

See, this is why it's hard to be a good sport about the Benghazi hearings.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I think the appropriate I-word we should use about Republicans is "intervention".

[Maxwell]

If I were old enough, I would think about running for Senate in a Republican Primary just to stop this guy. Inhofe is in contention for the worst Senator in the country, and I am tired of having him.

[TDAS04]

Inhofe already was among my least-favorite Senators, and this does not change that.

[Lief 🗽]

Literally no one besides the people that watch Fox News care about this "scandal."

[Ogre Mage]

If things worked out perfectly for the vast right-wing conspiracy Benghazi would destroy both President Obama and Hillary Clinton in one fell swoop.  How convenient, to get rid of both top Democrats at once.

If things worked perfectly for the GOP, we'd be sitting on the tiny island of Mt. Everest in the future, listening to the right-wing nutjobs attempt to defend themselves.

I'm a Democrat, and this is utter nonsense, but do Democrats not remember that they also threw around the "I-word" during President Bush's administration?  Is that somehow justified because he was a Republican, not a Democrat?

Oh, yeah ignoring the 9/11 warnings, starting a $1 trillion war, and making the economy turn to sh**t is totally the same thing.

Clinton ignored the 9/11 warnings, too.

Bush was right to enter Iraq, just forgot to do his homework to get out of there as soon as Saddam was toppled.

Clinton bears some of the blame for the recession with his stupid deregulation of the banks.

Clinton didn't get that 8/06/01 memo.
Also, this.

Bush was never actually impeached.  But Congressional Republicans DID take action to impeach President Clinton.  There is a history of actual action, and not just words, for us to consider.

[morgieb]

Different was that there are more of the party calling for impeachment against Obama.

How many Democrats actually called for Bush's impeachment? Were they fringe or mainstream? And did they actually introduce articles of impeachment? Did impeachment actually come to a vote? If so, then they're as bad as the Clinton-era Republicans. If not, you can't even compare the two.

It is nice to see Bushie still spouts the "both sides' do it crap.

Indeed. It's that fiscally conservative efficiency-in-government.

[Vosem]

Serious impeachment proceedings will only begin with Boehner's say-so. (Obviously some tea-partiers might try to get things going on their own -- I think there was an attempt against Cheney in 2007 -- but that'll get nowhere). Boehner has learned the lessons of the 1998-1999 fiasco and he will only begin such proceedings if he is confident that public opinion is overwhelmingly behind him. (And I'm sure he's learned the lessons of Romney's private polling as well -- he'll look for confirmation in public polling as well).

[Old Man Svensson]

It's hardly crap. Both sides have a proven record of being inarguably terrible.

Still, this is ridiculous. If the Republicans wanted to investigate something, they would investigate the IRS possibly going after dissenting political organizations.

If you polled the entire population of the planet and asked them whether Bush and/or Obama should be impeached the vast majority would say Bush should be impeached and the vast majority would say Obama shouldn't be impeached.  If you then asked the pro impeachment people what Bush and/or Obama should be impeached for you would get almost a completely uniform answer for why Bush should be impeached.  You would get a hodgepodge of bizarre answers as to why they believe Obama should be impeached.

That should tell a thinking person something... stop the false equivalency.

[Joe Biden 2020]

All I'm saying is that this discussion of impeachment crap is way over used.  IMO, Clinton should not have been impeached.  Bush should not have been impeached.  Obama should not be impeached.  I don't remember the impeachment term being thrown around for Reagan or Bush 41.  Maybe, that's because I came of age during Clinton's Presidency,  and don't really remember the former administrations in that respect, and I really haven't researched if the impeachment word was thrown around for Presidents 40 or 41.

To me, its just way over used by both parties.

Impeachment was written into the Constitution for a reason.  Reagan was not impeached because the nation was still recovering from Watergate.  Iran Contra was definitely an impeachable offense.  Democrats being nice doesn't mean Reagan shouldn't have been kicked out of office.

Your problem is you keep making these strange false equivalencies.  Please read up on Iran Contra.  You are a guy.  If every guy had to lose their job because they lied about sex none of us would be working.  You can't put Iran Contra or no WMDs on the same level as a blow job.  Bushie that is a very simplistic way of looking at the highest office in the land.

Bush should not have been impeached.

As I said most of the planet disagrees with you.  You can't just declare someone shouldn't have been impeached and that makes everything alright.  If you look at the amount of death destruction and financial loss that occurred based on a lie I can't think of any president in almost a century that should have been impeached more than Bush.  If not Bush then who?

To me, its just way over used by both parties.

Which is why I told you to take a GLOBAL poll.  This has nothing to do with partisan politics.  Some people need to be impeached.  It doesn't matter which party they are in.
