Sarah Palin, your wish is not granted.

A panel of the House's staunchest conservatives on Tuesday rebuffed the former Alaska governor when asked about her call last week for impeaching President Barack Obama. Some said impeachment was impractical, some said it would hurt the GOP politically and others cautioned that Obama hasn't committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

"I would not" impeach the president, said Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-ID). "I don't think it's gotten to the level of impeachable offenses yet. I believe that Sarah Palin ... doesn't have the burden of leadership right now," he said. "It's really easy for her to go on Fox News and make statements that she doesn't have to be accountable to anybody but herself."

He said "the reality is that impeachment is a political process" and that "I don't think the American people -- as a whole, in general, they don't believe the president should be impeached." He stressed that Republicans should redouble their investigations against Obama administration officials, such as IRS officials.

1. Ya, Sarah Pee. Cuz then we'd have Biden to deal with. And there goes our race card!

F*ckers don't do a damned thing but suck from the taxpayers & hold loyalty to the oligarch's by keeping our country divided against itself with their bogus rhetorical b.s.

Total stupidity.


Apologies for this rant..just riles my blood. The whole stupid sorry-assed useless lot of them.

2. Palin's fast approaching the exit ramp to irrelevancy even w/in the GOP

In her latest word salad manifesto she issued a blanket election threat to any Congress folks who were ambivalent/dismissive about actually chasing impeachment.

Based on this story it seems the GOP in Congress pretty much just gave her the finger. While it's refreshing to see that people who actually hold an elected position are now ignoring her it's still a joke that it took this long for this point to finally arrive.
