Yes, why on Earth would the Republicans want to dispose of the ANOINTED ONE, as Rush Limbaugh calls him.

The story goes that someone in the White House came up with the idea of planting a gleam of an idea in the media that the Republicans in Congress were starting the ball rolling to impeach President Obama.  Apparently the Republicans learned a lesson or two from when they tried to impeach Bill Clinton and it back fired against them & the story was not true.

From the Washington Post:

The Democrats’ congressional campaign arm pulled in $2.1 million in online donations over the weekend — the best four-day haul of the current election cycle — largely propelled by fundraising pitches tied to speculation that House Republicans could pursue the impeachment of President Obama.
Democrats have consistently used impeachment — a prospect that has been floated by several prominent conservatives but has not been embraced by most of the Republican establishment — to fill their campaign coffers, and their polling has shown that fear of an impeachment attempt as well as the House GOP’s efforts to sue Obama have the potential to drive midterm voter turnout on the left.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has brought in more than 114,000 donations since Thursday, when the House Rules Committee voted to go forward with a lawsuit contesting Obama’s use of executive action. Some Democrats have suggested that the lawsuit is a temporary stand-in for impeachment proceedings, and the online haul was spurred in part by nine e-mail fundraising pitches that directly mentioned the prospect of a GOP attempt to pursue impeachment.

And so the story goes that rumors started flying about the Republican's "Possible" try at impeachment and the Democratic faithful sent in a ton of money to the Democratic National Committee or DNC and to for the election efforts in the up coming 2014 election.  

What have we learned?.......... Rumors Work.
