Cruz incorrectly tells listeners that it takes the Senate vote to impeach Obama

[DhhD]

when it is a vote from the House. Cruz uses them and plays on their low information. How sheep-like are his followers.

There is an audio link if you care to hear Cruz.

1. He is (deliberately?) confusing impeachment, which is like an indictment and is done by the House,

with conviction, which is done by the Senate. Bill Clinton, for example, was impeached but not convicted. Cruz, a Harvard Law grad, ought to know better, and almost certainly does.

2. if he does not know better, perhaps harvard should revoke his degree. on the other hand, chimpy

has one from them, too. if I were a harvard alum, I would be embarrassed.

3. Oh, he knows better.

The term "impeachment" is not well-understood by the general public; they think it means kicking a president out of office (notwithstanding Clinton's acquittal not all that long ago). He is using the term to get his knuckledragger base all wound up, but he knows what it means.

4. What did you expect from Carnival Cruz, the Canadian.

6. He's a Canadian-Cuban. What does he know about the U.S. Constitution.

And a Teabagger, which means he knows even less than average.
