What the GOP is counting on to win in 2014: Impeachment!

Whatever happened to "Jobs, jobs, jobs?"

Tancredo: GOP Will Win 2014 Election By Demanding Obama's Impeachment

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 2/18/2014 12:40 pm

Former Colorado congressman and Republicans gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo says he has found a “winning issue” for the GOP in the 2014 midterm elections: impeaching President Obama. Writing in the far-right outlet WorldNetDaily, Tancredo claims that President Obama is “addicted to dictatorial behavior” and should face impeachment over his handling of Obamacare, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order and Egypt’s political crisis, along with the phony IRS and Benghazi scandals.

Republicans, this is your ticket to the House and Senate in 2014 and the presidency in 2016 and beyond. Don't listen to any of the naysayers who will try to tell you that the American people will reject such a self-serving, twisted plan.

Please proceed.

Republicans should also allow Ted Cruz or Mike Lee when Teds not around to roll out any and all policy announcements. Maybe put Sarah Palin on retainer to stand in the background.

Boehner said the other day about getting anything done, "We don't have 218 votes."

So they would need Dems votes for it...unless the republicans get a bunch of new seats this fall...

I guess things are too boring for them and they want a race riot with support from strong multi-ethnic-white voters groups. They can get the impeachment, but they can kiss 2016 goodbye.
