Republican Rep. warns of Obama impeachment if GOP forces debt default - Polidicks

[url=http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/07/25/republican-rep-warns-of-obama-impeachment-if-gop-forces-debt-default/]Raw Story[/url] [release]A Republican member of the House of Representatives declared today that President Barack Obama could be impeached if the U.S. defaults on its debts. The comment is from Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who told his followers on Twitter that they should "stop talking about" a potential U.S. default. "The 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt," he wrote. "Obama would be impeached if he blocked debt payments." The comment is ironic in that Republicans have played the largest role in pushing the U.S. government to the brink of defaulting on some debts by refusing to lift the nation's debt ceiling. Congressional Republicans raised the ceiling nine times during the Bush administration, adding over $4 trillion to the nation's debts. President Obama, as a freshman Senator from Illinois, voted in 2006 against raising the debt ceiling, but has since called his decision a mistake of inexperience. Today the president and Treasury are warning that if the debt limit is not raised before August 2, the government will be forced to default on some of its debts. President Obama even warned that Social Security checks might not arrive on time, or at all, if Congress cannot secure a deal. Republicans have repeatedly sidelined talks, insisting that tax increases for the wealthiest Americans and corporations are unacceptable, as are cuts to national defense. They've instead focused on plans that would eliminate Medicare, dip into the Social Security fund and dramatically reduce the government's workforce. With his remarks Monday, King became the second House Republican to suggest the president could be impeached over the debt ceiling debacle. Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) previously claimed that if President Obama simply declared the debt ceiling to be unconstitutional based upon a provision of the 14th Amendment that validates the nation's debts, he'd be impeached for it. That's precisely the route former President Bill Clinton said he'd take, were he in President Obama's shoes. Clinton told The National Memo in an interview earlier this month that he'd override the debt limit based upon the 14th Amendment and "force the courts to stop me." President Obama has said that is not an option for his administration.[/release]

Fuck off Republicans, no-one likes you. Not a single person on the earth with a rational mind likes Republicans, why wont you get this.

Hahahaha, right.

What a bunch of self centred cunts

What if that's the plan? They will force it into default themselves, blame Obama, impeach him. :tinfoil:

Edit

First of all... No one will be willing to impeach a president unless they did something illegal or lied under oath. Such as Clinton when he lied under oath. Besides, Jimmy Carter fucked up the economy beyond all recognition, and he didn't get impeached.

Jesus, why are these guys in power at all?

[QUOTE=Miskav;31346796]Expect a massive fucking uprising if they even try to impeach him.[/QUOTE] haha no. Americans don't do that.

[QUOTE=Miskav;31347227]You people would actually let the Repubs fuck up your country? Oh wow.[/QUOTE] People have so far...its quite sad really

So wait a second. The republicans are willing to fuck over the worlds economy only to get Obama out of the oval office?

"Guys, we blocked the new Democratic plan to reduce the debt..." "Good, well done!" "... and we're nearing economic meltdown" "It's Obama's fault!" I don't see what Republicans have agianst gays, they themselfs have eachothers head in their asses.

When we get a Democrat super majority again, I say we try to pass a bill to officially rename the GOP to the 'Head Up Ass Party'. Its only fair with all the dumb bills repubs are trying to pass.

Republicans: "Do what I want, or I will beat my wife and then have you arrested for making me beat my wife"

Absolutely disgusting. They have the [B]audacity[/B] to turn down every attempt at compromise, every concession made for their [B]childish[/B] party, and then once the economy collapses by their own hand, they'll impeach Obama? Try it, you scumbags, just try it.

The entire Republican party needs to fucking die. They are a waste of resources, time, and oxygen.

They seem to want to take everything down with them.

Republicans, :frog: With love, Sane People

They risk ruining the economy just so they can get Obama impeached. Idiots.

[QUOTE=GunFox;31347381]Republicans: "Do what I want, or I will beat my wife and then have you arrested for making me beat my wife"[/QUOTE] I like to think of the Republicans and Democrats as one of those TV sitcom couples who always fight and one is always clearly wrong. And for extra-laughs I imagine them gay. :v:

It's like a badly written plot to a Law and Order episode. Except no charges are filed and there's no actual police work. I can see a scene now... Republican 1: Man, I really hate that Obama guy. How can we get asshole out of office and get us back into the White House? Republican 2: Well, we're reaching our debt ceiling soon, right? What if we keep turning down proposed ideas from them? And have the economy default? Republican 1: Are you fucking crazy? That'll be the end of us! Republican 2: Not if we blame it on the Democrats and Obama. We keep saying they aren't making enough compromises. All we have to do is stall and when the economy defaults, we slap him with an impeachment notice! Republican 1: Wow, that might actually work. I'll send word around.

[QUOTE=Fort83;31354630]this is getting out of hand a giant movement by the american people needs to be made, like right now.[/QUOTE] Yes, it should.

Hopefully this stunt costs them their presidential bid for 2012.

That can't be the reason for all this shit. If the nation defaults we're going to rapidly go down the shitter, and if a Republican gets elected there's still not much point in being president when your country's a hell hole. Playing life or death chicken with a nation of 311,833,000 people should be grounds for impeachment. Seriously, we're pretty fucked if we default.
