Huck-Yeah there are so many reasons to impeach it’s hard to list them all.
Reporter- Name one. Just one.
Huck- There’s just so many… I… uh… you know… well…ummm…err
Reporter- OK name two…
Huck- I will not answer these gotcha questions.

Exactly. And it is something the media always fails to mention re: Clinton’s impeachment. Gee, wonder why?

Well, considering that its the first phrase on every right wing radio host’s lips, and will be until at least November, I am going to have to guess that that memo had a very small distribution list.
If he’s done “plenty of things”, Huckabee should be able to name at least one of them.
Still fleecing the flock are you?
And I say it’ll be Jeb.
Huckabee used to scare me 8-10 years ago-- but he’s become a grifter and a loose cannon.
The ® establishment won’t/can’t trust him today.

Oh, Huckabee is definitely toeing the waters right now. My guess is that is he senses a reluctance on a lack of support for Santorum, Huckabee jumps right in. He might do so anyway, figuring (correctly in my opinion), that he can snuff out Santorum and lock down the evangelical vote.
The question is, are the religious rights issue really the issues that the republican party wants to run on in 2016? Social cons don’t carry a lot of weight with either the teabaggers or the establishment republicans right now, though both are willing to give them the necessary lip service.
If Obama came out in favor of oxygen, these knuckleheads would suffocate themselves.

The moment Boehner said impeachment was off the table and it was Obamas fault, his caucus went berserk with impeachment talk…

One can only wish for that
Constitutional scholar he is!
I actually doubt there are. There are enough Republicans sitting in blue and purple districts who may realize voting to impeach would not only cost them their job, but it would mean their seat would go to a Democrat.

Jeb is on the wrong side of immigration, and, gasp, Common Core. I don’t think the pearl-clutching purists can abide either of those offenses < /swoons.back.of.wrist.on.forehead >
conservative Roman Catholics love him, too. He speaks at tons of right to life dinners.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Huckabee could take the evangelical vote away from Santorum, especially considering that Santorum is Catholic.
I do, however, have to disagree about social conservatives carrying much weight with teabaggers. From everything I’ve seen, the teabaggers are the most socially conservative. With the exception of Rand Paul and weed, I have think of a bagger that isn’t isn’t vehemently pro-gun, anti women’s reproductive rights, anti-LGBT and marriage equality, etc.

suggesting that Obama build a fence along the border like Israel's fence in parts of the West Bank
Wait. Huckabee wants to build a wall along the border inside Mexico?

The prime motivating factor for the tea party was always…lower taxes. They have paid very little attention to abortion or gay rights by comparison to say…Reagan or W…both of which paid a lot of lip service but did very little.
They do follow the thinking of social cons on those subjects, but its not their driving motivation. I think if more like a hang over that they cant get rid of.
Today’s tea party doesn’t mesh all that well with either the neocons or the social cons. They barely mesh with the fiscal cons anymore, either. But that is where they started.
I am going to have to agree with Austin Dave on that one. Jeb is far too squishy on immigration for the republican party today. And that is becoming a huge litmus test for them this year and probably into 2016.
I suspect Jeb is lamenting this to any number of donors and big party people…who all agree that if the party just got behind reasonable immigration reform, they might have a chance. But they won’t and they don’t.
“Can you name one impeachable thing he’s done?”
“Ummm … oops.”
