But according to Congressman Orange, no republican is talking about it. No way!
They are not talking about doing anything, either.

Of course the Republican base is in favor of impeachment and removal. Obama isn’t governing the way a Tea Party President would govern, therefore he’s clearly guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
These yahoos still haven’t figured out that their opinions and their favored policies are shared by only a minority of the American public. Their failure to triumph must, therefore, be the product of some sort of unspecified lawlessness. (See McDaniel: “I couldn’t possibly have lost, so there must have been fraud.”)

Obama is using impeachment to avoid talking about Benghazi.

“Congressional Democrats have talked about Obama’s impeachment 20 times more than their GOP counterparts since last year” **
** CITATION REQUIRED
I really want to see the statistical analysis that came up with that asspull.

On the floor of Congress yes. In the rest of the known universe, not so much!

Well, they spend their days not doing anything, so at least they are consistent.

Since the start of the 113th Congress last year, Democrats have used the
word “impeach” or “impeachment” regarding Obama 86 times, according to a
review of the Congressional Record by The Hill.

Republicans only used “impeachment” three times
So, they are limiting their “analysis” to the Congr. Record. Stratified sampling, but with only one strata. So they ignored what these animated anuses said outside the halls of congress.
P.S. Does “The Hill” have any attributes that might cause a prudent person to considered it a serious source of political insight?

I was logging on to say the same thing, except with some “FFS’s” and napalm thrown in. The number of times it gets talked about on the record in Congress has nothing, nothing at all to do with the amount of talking about it going on generally. It was a typical example of the Hill catering to the Fox-toxxed wingnuts who, for some reason, have become a devoted part of its readership and a TPM reporter not reading it critically because August.

I posted this the other day, but I’ll repeat it here one more time: go to youtube and search “impeach obama” and browse through the videos that are up. Some have been up since August and September 2009:
@sjk - click through on the link to The Hill article. It’s bullshit. They compared how many times the word “impeach” was used in different speeches on the floor of the House, divided Republican into Dems, and then conflated that into “how much impeachment was talked about.”
Complete.
Fucking.
Bullshit.

Dismissal of impeachment talk from Republican elected officials? How can you make that statement in this one article and continue to report of all the elected Republican officials that talk about impeachment? Sure many of them are back-benchers in the House who have no influence whatsoever, but there are also others in the party such as Mike Huckabee bringing it up. Someone posted a whole list the other day of Republicans on record talking about impeachment.

It started before PBO even took the oath of office. I find it so disgusting that the repubs have spent the last 6 years trying to destroy the Dems and PBO instead of doing their jobs. If only there weren’t so many igorant, racist, hateful repub voters out there, we might be able to find some votes among them. Forget it. There are no sane repubs around any more. The only reason the repub leaders are against it is because the majority of the country isn’t for impeachment.

Oh please. Listen up. A congressional report came out this week showing that PBO is not at all at fault for Bengazi. What you say, you didn’t hear that? Well, the MSM didn’t report it.
Liberal media, my ass.

I click on an article if the title beguiles. I find the articles newsworthy and no more biased “right” than TPM is biased “left”.
The average posters on The Hill are another matter altogether. I have occasionally engaged with some, trying to be “a light unto the nations”, or just to harry-troll some egregious others.

Agree with your assessment of C. F. B.
However, the narrative can be called accurate in the RWNJ Fox-bizarro-world of broadcasting.
And that’s all they really want and need to feel as if they can trumpet this as fact.
But itsa’ damn slithery fact!
