"About one-third of U.S. adults and 68 percent of Republicans agree with Sarah Palin that President Obama deserves impeachment, a new poll found.
The split along partisan lines in the new Huffington Post/YouGov poll was stark. While 68 percent of Republicans said impeachment would be justified, only 8 percent of Democrats agreed and independents were evenly split 37 percent on each side.
Just over one quarter, 26 percent, of respondents who did not describe themselves as Republicans called for impeachment."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

(45,251 posts)Ever watch C-Span call in shows? People who are obviously Republicans call in on the Democratic and Indie lines all the time.
The call usually goes something like this: "I'm a Democrat, but....." and out come purely rw talking points that no Democrat would ever espouse.

(7,875 posts)I'll grant that he's had extenuating circumstances, what with the Congress and the Supreme Court, and obviously hasn't done anything that should have anybody talking about impeachment. The fact is these assholes have been talking impeachment in December of 2008. Same as they were with Clinton. This is now the model- Expect immediate impeachment talk from Republicans if a Democrat wins in 2016.
