Of course, Democrats would never even consider his being impeached on the Republicans' phony grounds, such as "death panels" and "birth certificate," but we might get Republicans to vote for impeaching him on the real grounds, even though the real grounds are that Obama has pursued, with a vengeance, Republican policies, which are opposed by the Democrats in Congress. (In fact, Republican John McCain is the strongest congressional supporter of the ethnic-cleansing campaign occurring in Ukraine.)
That's how terrible things have now become in Obama's America; and it's up to Democrats ourselves to fix them, because nobody else will or even can. Republicans certainly won't, because he is actually one of them, in his heart-of-hearts, and his Presidency has been the greatest gift to the Republican Party since Ronald Reagan's -- but Reagan was honest enough to call himself a Republican, and Obama is not. He prefers to play the "good cop," to their bad cop, in order to get the dirty deeds done, that both of them want done. We must not allow that to stand, as representing our Party. Let's leave that to the Republicans alone, while we seek their support for an impeachment resolution that's cast upon Democratic grounds, which are truthful grounds.
Because otherwise, the Democratic Party is already in rigor mortis.
DO-OR-DIE TIME FOR DEMOCRACY:
The signs of the fascist turn of the American Government are also all around us, such as in the Bush-Obama "reforms" (largely privatizations) of the formerly public system of public-school education. We all had better watch out: things have already gone beyond the danger-point. The public is virtually disappearing from power, and increasingly, only the aristocrats are in control now. That's the real news-story of our time, and it's not being reported by the aristocracy's controlled "news" media.
