Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) seems to be going against some of his Republican colleagues in the House concerning whether to impeach President Barack Obama: He's against it.

That's according to reporter Chris Moody.

A number of other lawmakers, contrary to Paul, have suggested an openness to impeaching Obama.

State Sen. Jim Tracy, a Republican running to defeat two-term Rep. Scott DesJarlais, for instance, also said he would be open to impeaching the president.

1. No, he just likes to stir the pot...

Fan the flames, if you will...

[randys1]

2. He is getting more and more dangerous this guy, looking reasonable and so on

reaching out to disgruntled 20 something liberals...

very scary, because he is a nightmare

[mucifer]

3. He wants to win over some pot smoking anti war dems.

He's far more complicated than that . I hope not many dems get duped.

4. Most Repugs with any national ambition..,

realize Impeachment is politically a losing proposition for them. The only ones playing it up are those running in deep red districts/states who are playing solely to their base and not worrying about the national party implications. There's a reason Dems are fundraising on this issue just as much as, if not more than, the Repugs

5. Give it a week...

He'll be for it then.

[Fred Sanders]

6. Exactly. And the poor MSM will ignore the record, the GOP needs lots of props to keep all their lies

from destroying them.

7. yep nt

8. Ah, but that's not the question I want to hear him answer

If the House does impeach, how will he vote in the trial?
