Being Black and and a Democrat?
Cause I got nothing else on the guy.
It baffles the mind that the next 2 years will be wasted doing yet again NOTHING and somehow this is all Obama's fault.

And there is all those republicans who didn't get what they wanted.
That just has to impeachable, right?
Somebody has to pay for people not getting EXACTLY what they wanted in the EXACTLY the time frame they wanted it in.

(51,076 posts)the election is NOT over yet. I still haven't made my appearance at the church where I vote at yet. My wife and I will do our voting when she gets home from work.
By crook or by hook is the only way the pukes can win and I'm not convinced there's enough crooks or hooks for them to have

(7,365 posts)Why was Clinton impeached?
Yes the Republicans are morons and many are indeed racist, but I personally believe they are more interested in their ideology and not race, or black people who are Conservative like Carson, Sowell, Williams, etc...wouldn't be so celebrated by the right.
I have no doubt had John Kerry won in 2004 they would have been just as ruthless. The Republican machine is sinister, vile and disgusting and it's crosshairs are on the so-called left, irrespective of color (mostly).

As for Clinton, he could have done great things for this country, but he had to continuously fight with repubs who were so jealous that a poor young white man made it from nothing to president of the USA
noiretextatique
(27,275 posts)the people who actually experience racism do not. nor do they use the term "the race card," which is rw bullshit propaganda.

(498 posts)noiretextatique
(27,275 posts)and of course there was his famous appeal to racism, aka, his sistah souljah moment. is he a racist? i don't think so. did he try to appeal to racism: ABSOLUTELY.
noiretextatique
(27,275 posts)of course they like their black PUPPETS, and of course they use "the race card" to gain the votes of racists...but they aren't really racist, right. what utter bullshit.
BobbyBoring
(1,965 posts)If he was white and had an R by his name, they would love him (with the exception of ACA).
He's not a liberal, socialist, leftist, or the other lables they pin on him, so what else is there?
treestar
(82,383 posts)Obama has not, so that would be a major difference. For Obama, they would say they had the votes and they would have to come up with some bogus reason, a reason so ridiculous that they would look stupid (not that looking stupid bothers them).

(498 posts)as a family, as president and as human beings. I don't care that he is half white or half black of half purple green and blue
The race card is used so much that it loses its validity
noiretextatique
(27,275 posts)and you are full of a simple google search will reveal to you all the blatant racism directed at this president and his family. that's not some silly rw meme...it is reality.

(498 posts)been called a lot of things in life, Racist was not one of them... You have lots of anger and I am sorry for you.
Google me all you want, but first get a hold of yourself.
To quote Clinton "I dont think I should take any st from anybody on that, do you?"

(31,849 posts)what the poster said was ... the phrase: "Play the Race Card" is a rightwing meme, used to shut down/minimize any discussion of racial mistreatment.

(23,295 posts)just like Boner bragged about suing Obama. I would say at least 3 freshman teabaggers will have the papers drawn up to wave around for their minions. It will go nowhere, as usual, because they know they have nothing but bluster. The 2 law firms Boner hired to sue Obama have quit, either because they knew it was fraudulent, or because Boner told them it was only theater.

(8,219 posts)If it wasn't such a sad commentary on the republican mindset, AND the piss-poor organization of the democratic party messaging skills, it would actually be comical how the congressional approval rating among the GOP is at 18 percent, which is actually up from their all-time record low of 15 percent in Jan of 2012...sooooo...naturally, the voters are gonna really teach everyone a lesson by - giving the GOP the majority in the Senate and house.

(13,598 posts)Bill Clinton's impeachment lead to one of the very few mid-term elections where the party controlling the presidency gained seats.
If there's any chance whatsoever of the Republicans impeaching Obama, we should be doing everything we can to help and encourage them.

(82,383 posts)impeachment gets them nowhere - why would Biden be any better for them? Only because he's at least white. They can handle that. The first black President being impeached and removed from office supports their agenda that black men aren't as capable as white men. They are already devastated by the electorate choosing one to be POTUS in the first place. All that's left is to prove he is "qualified" for the worst thing that can happen to a POTUS.
