re: #256 Killgore Trout

I think it’s doubtful they’ll go for impeachment, they don’t have the power. This fiscal cliff should be the primary concern of everybody in government. This is why I’m opposed to the talk abandoning bipartisan efforts. We aren’t going to avoid the cliff without Republican cooperation. The leadership is hopefully humbled by their recent loss and might be willing to negotiate. To continue partisan frothing, scream “Fuck the wingnuts!” and drive ourselves over the cliff is just plain stupid and destructive.

Idiots like Issa don’t care whether they have ‘the power’ to do something.

They want to grandstand for their base, and if they give Obama a black eye in the process they’re even happier.

And in your concern you fail to note that Republicans abandoned bipartisan efforts sometime in the mid-90s.

I repeat. Fuck ‘em.
