Are you one of those Democrats who can't stop talking about impeachment or one of those Republicans who never does?
Last week, I was told by the right wingers, that the Republicans never talk impeachment...
I don't know which Republicans you're talking about, but the Republicans in the House have said repeatedly that impeachment is "off the table." Who are you listening to?
I assume most of you wouldn't let a petulant child get away with bad behavior, so I'm sincerely asking, what is your solution to Obama's gross misconduct while occupying the office of the Presidency?
The problem is those who voted him into office don't see this as gross misconduct. He's their saint. So there's nothing to deal with. All we can do better is pray the next election doesn't result in bad following bad.
Republicans are split on this issue because half of the party wants to stir the base up, and believe that impeachment talk helps do that. The other half remembers what happened with Bill Clinton, see far less to go after in this case, and don't want to look like idiots spending money for no good reason again.
While 40% of Americans only approve of Obamas job, only about 20 to 30% of Americans support impeachment.
Dangerous game Republicans are playing.
I'd say that Republicans should shut up, run on what they have now, win in November, and just make the President even more ineffective for about 15 months.
There isn't going to be impeachment hearings. Its a far right fantasy. Extremely far right.
Since he hasn't done anything impeachable, I would like to know what the OP is talking about. Oh and by the way OP, thanks for showing that it is indeed Republicans who are always talking about impeachment.
"He hasn't done anything impeachable?" Are you serious? Or, should I ask, "Are you that blind?"
How about failure to enforce duly enacted laws? How about failure to enforce our immigration laws? How about changing laws unilaterally, on his own, bypassing Congress? (I refer of course to the ACA). How about failure to uphold the Constitution?

This was just two weeks ago.

"Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) told colleagues that the House should pass legislation with new steps to secure the border, and tell Obama if he didn't implement it, they would impeach him."
I do not think there will ever be proof of an impeachable offense - clearly directed illegal activity or clearly directed illegal use of agencies for the persecution of adversaries - so impeachment should remain off the table.
This is what you call "willful ignorance." Are you really so blind?
"Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) told colleagues that the House should pass legislation with new steps to secure the border, and tell Obama if he didn't implement it, they would impeach him."
Well, that's just one, and it isn't what the Republican leadership has said, which is that "impeachment is off the table." There is no unified voice, or push, from the Party as a whole to call for impeachment.
The only place that I have heard of a push for impeachment by Republicans has come out of the mouths of Democrats (the usual ones, Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Shultz) and a few other mouthpieces of the Socialist (excuse me) "Progressive" Party (Democrats).
Well since the Cons do not have any evidence that would warrant impeachment
That is truly laughable. Whose talking points are you reading from?
There is more than enough "evidence" for impeachment. There is a long list of impeachable offenses. How about "failure to execute the laws of the land" for starters. One of the primary responsibilities of the President is to see that the laws are upheld and enforced (through the Justice Department). He has failed to enforce laws that he doesn't like. That is not his option.
How about changing law? How many times has he unilaterally changed the ACA?

The House of Representatives is doing it's job. The biggest bottleneck is the Senate, controlled (let me remind you) by DEMOCRATS.
Oversight, is one of the jobs of the House of Representatives. It's unfortunate that the Obama administration has made it necessary to spend much time investigating abuses (like the IRS targeting of conservative organizations) of power, and of other "scandals" like Benghazi, "Fast and Furious," and many others that are ongoing. But, that is their job. It's part of the system of checks and balances that the founders wisely designed into our system.
I want to see his presidency through to the bitter end. I want to watch destroyed whatever Barry O' Sermon on the Mount fantasy all the idiots that voted for this POS TUS believed in.
Good stories for the grandkids.
Impeachment? naw that's for *******. I wanna ride this presidency right into the glue factory.
