meanwhile.. I still don't think lying about cheating on your wife qualifies as a high crime or misdemeanor against the United States

Wittman. It's actually embarrasing to read some of your posts. Maybe you should draw up new laws, and let us know when it's okay to lie under oath, and when it's not.
And Barry, are you actually sitting there with a straight face claiming Bill Clinton doesn't have any blood on his hands? Even he wouldn't say something that stupid.

Why are you embarrassed for him? There is the idea that we should take into consideration "The spirit of the law".. Yes, as a technical point, he lied about having wild sex in the Oval Office but who here thinks for one second that:
A. One, any one of our founding Father's would have spent more than 3 second rolling their eye's about this. Would they say "High Crime or Misdemeanor"? Or would they say,, "This is a personal matter."?
B. Is there an American alive today who thinks this huge waste of time was worth what it cost us?
As for Clinton having Blood on his hand's, I would suggest that ,unfortunately, being president of this country can frequently lead to this problem. However, It can in my opinion, be argued that Clinton had much better reason for action than this President did.
I've been asking since the very first day I heard mention of IRAQ coming from this White House and I'll ask again... How is it possible that there are educated people who thought over throwing the Iraqi Government was a good Idea? HOW??!! Who are these people?
I'm still so pissed at My Democratic Party {I might sorta be a democrat, I don't really know} for giving Bush the opportunity that I see RED!!
Clinton, as flawed as he was/is, Is three times the person. {depending on what your definition of is-is,, 'sorry' }
