I want W impeached for the same reason as Clinton: LYING.

[Philosoraptor]

The republicans said it over and over again, it wasn't about sex, it was about lying.

Well, bush has been caught lying repeatedly, about very grave things, so.....

And, I want Clinton's one lie held against bush's thousands of lies, and tell me what the diff is? I know, the oath, but that argument falls flat when you consider bush's many oaths he's taken and broken.

Indict him, make him answer questions under oath, impeach and repeat.

1. But Clinton lied about something important!

Bush's lies only cost the US thousands of lives and billions of dollars, not to mention any good will we had in the world.

2. It's about the rule of law! Right. nm

3. Bush is culpable for far more crimes than simply lying

4. Treason? I hope so. eom

5. No, you haven't been playing the game right...

Just go over to any freeper board and post that. You know what response you'll get, faster than you can say "intern?" They tell you to find the conviction against Bush. Find the court case, the trials. Find any legal proceeding indicating Bush lied. Even his two recent court setbacks on spying and wiretapping -- they weren't lies, just policy decisions (and tangentially, they also dismiss the fact that Bush even lied about the existence and scope of the programs and when they started, ). Remember, these people are mostly fundies. Not necessarily even Christian fundies, just right-wing fundy extremists. They use the same techniques used in dismissing the unanswerable questions about the bible...they wrap themselves up tightly in it and use the bullshit as a truth sheild.

You can try to get one of them to listen to you, but you'll get the same answer every time. "Show me the link to the story about Bush being convicted of lying to a grand jury." That's all that matters to them, playing semantics while tens of thousands of citizens around the world are killed by the Crawford Madman. I honestly don't see how any of them sleep at night.

6. It's easy for them to sleep

Most of them don't have a conscience, let alone any degree of shame.

And, even if they did, the thousands of dead are 7000 miles away, and since they are mostly Muslim, they don't count as much to these extremists.

Additionally, isn't lying to Congress a crime as well?

7. I have a guess

in response to your last line:

"I honestly don't see how any of them sleep at night."


I have to assume the answer is: "hanging upside down in a cave"
