Former Rep. Tom Tancredo: Impeach Obama Once GOP Takes Senate Control

"There have always been two main arguments against impeachment even among those who support it in principle – first, that it is not practical because it would never succeed in the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate, and secondly that, well, you just can’t impeach the first black president no matter what he has done. But given the likely new political circumstances post-Nov. 4, both of those arguments have lost their power. If Republicans capture the majority in the U.S. Senate as now appears almost certain, the 2015 Congress is a new ballgame. If the House were to bring impeachment charges based on not only the amnesty but several other unconstitutional actions, do Democratic senators want to run for re-election in 2016 on a platform that starts with apologizing for Obama’s unconstitutional behavior?" - Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, writing for World Net Daily.

RELATED: Earlier this year Tancredo lost the Colorado GOP gubernatorial primary. In 2010 he also lost his bid for the governorship. He ran for president in 2008 but dropped out early due to poor support. Tancredo was the honorary chairman of the Youth For Western Civilization, a group that advocates against diversity and multiculturalism on college campuses.

Rove: Obama Loves Impeachment Talk

Via Politico:

Karl Rove is playing a bipartisan blame game when it comes to talk about impeachment. “[President Barack Obama] is playing with the American people by suggesting a constitutional crisis where none exists,” Rove said Tuesday on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “Shame on him and shame on those people in the administration who participate with him.” And Rove turned his fire on the GOP, adding, “Shame on conservatives and Republicans who helped him along.” Impeachment chatter has reached new heights in recent days. While Democrats are pointing fingers at Republicans for pushing the conversation, the GOP is claiming that the other side of the aisle is exaggerating the threat of impeachment in attempts to fundraise.

Impeachment Talk: Cash Cow For Dems

George McGovern Calls For Impeachment Of Bush And Cheney

In a Washington Post op-ed piece, yesterday former Senator and 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern called for the impeachments of George Bush and Dick Cheney.

Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly "high crimes and misdemeanors," to use the constitutional standard.

From the beginning, the Bush-Cheney team's assumption of power was the product of questionable elections that probably should have been officially challenged -- perhaps even by a congressional investigation.

In a more fundamental sense, American democracy has been derailed throughout the Bush-Cheney regime. The dominant commitment of the administration has been a murderous, illegal, nonsensical war against Iraq. That irresponsible venture has killed almost 4,000 Americans, left many times that number mentally or physically crippled, claimed the lives of an estimated 600,000 Iraqis (according to a careful October 2006 study from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health) and laid waste their country. The financial cost to the United States is now $250 million a day and is expected to exceed a total of $1 trillion, most of which we have borrowed from the Chinese and others as our national debt has now climbed above $9 trillion -- by far the highest in our national history.

All of this has been done without the declaration of war from Congress that the Constitution clearly requires, in defiance of the U.N. Charter and in violation of international law. This reckless disregard for life and property, as well as constitutional law, has been accompanied by the abuse of prisoners, including systematic torture, in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.

I have not been heavily involved in singing the praises of the Nixon administration. But the case for impeaching Bush and Cheney is far stronger than was the case against Nixon and Vice President Spiro T. Agnew after the 1972 election. The nation would be much more secure and productive under a Nixon presidency than with Bush. Indeed, has any administration in our national history been so damaging as the Bush-Cheney era?

How could a once-admired, great nation fall into such a quagmire of killing, immorality and lawlessness?

When he was running against Nixon in 1972, McGovern's stance against the Vietnam War made him a hero to me and lots of kids my age (as much as 13 year-olds can care about politics, that is).
