As I view what is happening in Washington, the skeptic in me keeps remembering the scene in the Bill Murray<\/a> movie “Meatballs” where the character Bill Murray plays leads the campers in a chant of “It just doesn’t matter.” I wish it did matter, but I just don’t think it does.<\/p>\n

I have lost track of the scandals–I babysat grandchildren today and could not get my usual news fix. I know that there was a document dump of Benghazi-related documents today (hotair.com<\/a>). I know that the acting IRS<\/a> commissioner is leaving (the Daily Mail<\/a>)–President Obama says that Steve Miller<\/a> has been asked to resign–Steve Miller says that his assignment ends in early June. The Associated Press<\/a> and had their phones bugged. At the same time conservative groups were being harassed by the IRS, President Obama’s half brother received tax-exempt status for the Barack H. Obama<\/a> Foundation, a shady charity headed that operated illegally for years (the Daily Caller<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So where do we go from here? Impeachment is a really bad idea. It will not solve the problem and will probably create more problems. The press is quite capable of bringing down the presidency of any president they do not like–we are all human and make mistakes; and even if we don’t, mistakes can be manufactured. For example–the evidence President Bush<\/a> cited to justify the war in Iraq<\/a> was seen and evaluated by the Democrat leadership in Congress. When the Democrats voted for the war in Iraq, they knew everything President Bush knew<\/a>–there was no way he could have lied to them. But that didn’t prevent cries of “Bush lied, people died.” When the media couldn’t get to Dick Cheney<\/a>, they went after Scooter Libby<\/a>. If President Obama were impeached, in the future the press would work very hard to bring down any administration they didn’t like. The will of the voters’ would be routinely undermined. Also, impeachment would further divide the country and create partisanship. Then again, there is the prospect of President Biden.<\/p>\n

Impeachment is not the answer, so what is the answer? The answer lies with the voters. Voters need to become aware of what is going on and vote against anyone who is part of it or seems to be supporting it. The members of Congress that are blocking investigations should be voted out of office.\u00a0 Those members of Congress who are defending the President and calling to end investigations need to be voted out of office–the investigations should end after they are finished and not before.<\/p>\n
