Sarah Palin Calls for Impeachment



Because of Obama’s purposeful dereliction of duty an untold number of illegal immigrants will kick off their shoes and come on in, competing against Americans for our jobs and limited public services. There is no end in sight as our president prioritizes parties over doing the job he was hired by voters to do. Securing our borders is obviously fundamental here; it goes without saying that it is his job.

The federal government is trillions of dollars in debt; many cities are on the verge of insolvency; our overrun healthcare system, police forces, social services, schools, and our unsustainably generous welfare-state programs are stretched to the max. We average Americans know that. So why has this issue been allowed to be turned upside down with our “leader” creating such unsafe conditions while at the same time obstructing any economic recovery by creating more dependents than he allows producers? His friendly wealthy bipartisan elite, who want cheap foreign labor and can afford for themselves the best “border security” money can buy in their own exclusive communities, do not care that Obama tapped us out.

Wasserman Schultz said, "President Obama has the most border patrols and border security deployed at the border of any previous president." She is correct that the highest number of border patrol agents has been under Obama: there were 21,444 in 2011. Wasserman Schultz was careful here and said "most" and didn’t talk about the growth rate. But it’s worth noting that the big growth was during Bush’s tenure: between 2001 and 2009, the number of agents posted nationally rose from about 9,800 to a little more than 20,000. Other border security measures are not as simple to quantify. The key piece of infrastructure -- the fence -- was launched under Bush. Work on the fence and other border security improvements continued under Obama.

We rate this claim Mostly True.

I <3 Politifact.

Claim: Joe Republican said "We should kill all the darkies and throw their corpses to the pigs!"
Rating: Yes, he did say that. We rate it TRUE.

Claim: Steve Democrat said "Hey, Mexicans are people just like us..."
Rating: We have round a mountain of anthropological and medical publications which identify the indigenous people of Central America by cultural and physiological idiosyncrasies. As there is a measurable difference, they cannot be 'just like us'. We rate it SUPER-DUPER ULTRA POO-POO HEAD DUMMY STINK-BOMB LIE
