New CNN Poll: American's Have No Problem With Dems Being In Control

   There goes another GOP argument. When these clowns realized that they were actually heading into the deep end of a pit, the GOP started screaming that it will not be good for you and I to have " one party " rule in the government. To bad that they did not feel this way from 2001-2006.

In a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday, 59 percent of those questioned think that Democratic control of both the executive and legislative branches will be good for the country, with 38 percent saying that such one-party control will be bad.

The poll also suggests that the public has a positive view of the Democratic Party, with 62 percent having a favorable opinion and 31 percent an unfavorable opinion.

That is not the case for the Republicans, with a majority, 54 percent, having an unfavorable view of the GOP and 38 percent holding a positive view.

"The public has a positive view of the Democratic Party, while the GOP 'brand' is hurting. Overall views of the Democratic Party have gone from 53 percent favorable in October to 62 percent favorable now; the GOP overall has seen a 5-point drop in its favorable rating," Holland said.

  The public does want the Democrats to play nice with the Republicans ( reach across the table ) and to at last attempt a bi-partisan government.

   Any bets on how long that would last. Republicans are not known for helping anyone unless there is a dollar in it for them.

Right-Wing Readying to Impeach Obama

  These fucking lunatics have no shame.

Clytemnestra

No I'm not kidding. 

Not even sworn in yet "Impeach Obama" sites are popping up on Facebook and the web.

On Facebook, an "Impeach Barack Obama" group has attracted more than 700 members and a lively debate about the Democrat's election victory on Tuesday over Republican John McCain.

Another Facebook group of the same name has 160 members and urges others to join because "we might as well get a head start on the impeachment of Obama."

"There are a lot of Americans out there that do not fully understand the concept of Socialism or Communism which is why they've elected Obama as president," it says.

Yet another Facebook group, "Impeach Barack Hussein Obama," has 160 members.

There's a bumper sticker

And more:

People forming these Impeach Obama groups seem to be anticipating that President Barack Obama will almost certainly commit impeachable acts. Therefore the Impeach Obama groups are being formed to be ready when such a thing occurs.

What impeachable offenses do these Impeach Obama groups anticipate? One group, Impeach Barack Hussein Obama, suggests that some of Obama's policy proposals are unconstitutional, hence impeachable offenses.

They anticipate that he will ban assault weapons and bring back the "Fairness Doctrine." But while they "think" these may be unconstitutional they are sure he will do something unconstitutional.

Here's the money quote:

One problem is that American Presidents make unconstitutional proposals all the time. Often it is not apparent that a policy proposal in unconstitutional until the Supreme Court says that it is. It's therefore a stretch the want to impeach a President for making the proposal in the first place before it is officially determined to be unconstitutional. A President trying to continue the policy after the Supreme Court strikes it down might be another matter.

You mean like all the policies of George Bush, especially regarding Gitmo - the policies he continued even after SCOTUS determined to be unconstitutional - that he has NOT been impeached for?

Here's one of the many problems with not impeaching George Bush.  If one of the reasons the Democratic leadership thought that they would increase civility if they didn't impeach Bush for his actual crimes . . . well that's not going to happen. 

The vultures of the Republican party  are already circling the White House waiting for him to make one mistake, no matter how minor.

These are the politics that Republicans employed against Clinton in it's rawest form. They are already letting us know what they will use against Obama.  They aren't even waiting until he does something.  They are ready, NOW!

Our leadership's unwillingness to fight and impeach for actual high crimes did nothing to mollify the other side and get them to a bipartisan Kum-By-yah moment. 

They want nothing of it.  And in the mean time we are letting criminals go free. 

Obama has done nothing.  He hasn't even put his hand on the Bible and recited the oath of Office and they are ready to take him down.     ( DKos )
