Mr. Speaker, listen to your Caucus: impeachment is far from a Democratic "scam"

Even after third-ranking House Republican and Whip-elect Steve Scalise refused to take impeachment off the table, Speaker Boehner earlier today called the impeachment talks "a scam started by the Democrats."  [7/29]   Yet statements from the Tea Party Members of the House Republican Congress beg to differ:

• "President Obama is begging to be impeached." -Rep. Stockman

• "...if the House had an impeachment vote, it would...impeach the president…" -Rep. Bill Flores

• "...the president has committed impeachable offenses...impeachment is important..." -Rep. Michelle Bachmann

• "[Obamaimpeachment] needs to happen." -Rep. Michael Burgess

• "...we need to bring impeachment hearings immediately before the House of Representatives," -Rep. Steve King

• "...he leaves Congress no option [but to impeach him]." -Rep. Ted Yoho

• "[Impeachment of Obama] – a dream come true…" -Rep. Kerry Bentivolio

• "Congress is going to start looking at it (impeachment) very seriously." -Rep. Jack Kingston

• "The president deserves to be impeached. Plain and simple." -Rep. Randy Weber

• "[President Obama's handling of Benghazi is an] impeachable offense." -Rep. Jason Chaffetz

• "...I'll give you a real frank answer about that, if we were to impeach the President tomorrow, you could...get the votes...to do it." -Rep. Blake Farenthold

A Democratic "scam," Mr. Boehner?   Instead of pointing fingers – it's time to take a long look at the comments made by Members of your own Conference.
