Source: Talking Points Memo
Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) told constituents at an event Saturday in his district that, although it would amount to a fruitless effort that could potentially damage the country, Republicans have the votes in the House to impeach President Barack Obama.
Fielding a question from a birther at a gathering in Luling, Texas, Farnethold at first lamented that Congress didn't do more to investigate Obama's birth certificate.
... You tie into a question I get a lot, if everybody's so unhappy with what the Presidents done, why dont you impeach him, Farenthold continued. Ill give you a real frank answer about that, if we were to impeach the President tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it. But it would go to the Senate and he wouldnt be convicted.

I have repeated words and phrases heard on AM radio and Faux news: what more evidence do you need? How could Obama's dastardly crimes not be obvious?
