Clinton was impeached over lying about some head. Why can't

[chicagojoe]

Bush be impeached? He has lied about much more serious matters.

[indepat]

1. Cause it doesn't matter to Repukes what a Repuke president does EOS

[politicaholic]

2. Because a repub congress won't impeach a repub prez.

Come on, you should know that.

3. He can!

But until there is a Democratic Congress, the odds are against it.

7. Does't mean we shouldn't push the case

But I guess it is kind of hopeless

4. Check out a ltte that was in my local paper this morning.

Usually after reading one of Joan King's liberal, anti-Bush and anti-American columns, I just shake my head and tell myself to consider the source.

However, the one Tuesday ( "Tradition of presidential deception continues in our current Iraqi war") really caught my fancy. Ms. King fails to mention the most untruthful president of all time in her list, Bill Clinton. Isn't he the only ex-president to suffer judicial punishment for perjury, which is lying under oath?

I tried to find the column this person was referring to, but the paper doesn't have a search and it doesn't seem to be on the web.

Unfortunately, BC will never leave the minds of the idiots of Ga.

5. Agree, (even though I think head is serious too)

Impeachment will be a partisan affair and we don't have the votes....now. However, while I agree that the next elections and every election in either the House, the Senate or any state legislature is important to gain Democratic influence, the importance of the impeachment process should not be ignored. Voinovich came over to the other side in the Bolton affair as the case against Bolton was too much for him to ignore. I submit that impeachment, supported by a proper investigation which reveals indisputable facts, will leave many republicans (except the those like Frist, Cornyn and others who will march lock step with the Right) with little choice but to support it. It would have happened during the Nixon-Watergate affair and its valid now.

We need to press both issues.

6. But was Clintons impeachment COMPLETELY along

Party lines ? If the REAL truth comes out, there ARE Republicans that WILL vote to impeach; not just the clowns you hear about all of the time.

8. Good point. I don't know but I don't think it was. He lost a

bunch of credibility. The next election cycle not many of the Democrats wanted Bill to "stump" (no pun intended) for them.

9. Unlike us, top Republicans were on TV every night calling Clinton a "liar"

But Top Democrats are afraid to go on TV and talk about "the memo"- much less accuse Bush of "lying" and using that actual word.

That is one of the huge differences at this point- the public is still largely unaware of "the memo" due to the silence of the media and high-profile Democrats.

10. Worse Than Watergate

Worse Than Watergate

Just a few Bush administration lies:

On Sept. 7,2003 Bush said 'Saddam was just six months away from developing a nuclear bomb'.
Cheney said in Aug. 2002 that Saddam will soon obtain a nuclear weapon.
Bush said 'Iraq is building facilities at sites that have been part of his nuclear program in the past'.


Colin Powell provided one after another lies to the U.N. including 'decontamination vehicles' that turned out were merely water trucks.

Robt. Kennedy, Jr states 'the Bush administration has initiated more than (200) major rollbacks of America's environmental laws, weakening the protection of our country's air,water,public lands, and wildlife. The Bush White House has hidden its anti-environmental program behind secrecy.' The initial draft of the EPA news release after 9/11 warned that the air around Ground Zero contained higher levels of abestos than what was considered safe. The White House re-wrote the release saying everything was OK.
