Impeachment, on G.O.P. Lips, Animates Democrats’ Base By NICK CORASANITIJULY 29, 2014 WASHINGTON — Democrats cannot get enough of Republicans talking about impeaching President Obama. They are using it to raise money and claim to have collected $1 million on Monday alone. They are using it to add supporters, with 74,000 new contributors. And, to animate their base, they would like to goad Republicans into debating impeachment in close races in the midterm elections. All of which has forced Republican leaders in Congress to talk down any notion of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” saying that Democrats were cynically using the specter of impeachment as a “scam” to generate support. The inside-out character of the debate provided yet another measure of how inverted the politics of polarized Washington has become. Speaker John A. Boehner, Republican of Ohio, pledged there would be no impeachment, a sentiment echoed by Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, who accused the Democrats of duplicity. nytimes.com{%221%22%3A%22RI%3A7%22}
