Answer 1

Clinton was a womanizer, who got caught lying about it. To some Christians that may be unforgivable. For politicians, sometimes it's par for the course. Check our rumors about JFK (that hero of Camelot), FDR, even good ole Ike. Check out the bios of Newt Gingerich and John McCain. Clinton was impeached on a technicality. That right-wing bulldozer, driven by Ken Starr wouldn't stop at anything.

Now along comes George II. He's broken US and international laws. He admits that he has lied to the public, even brags about it. He doesn't veto legislation, but simply issues statements that the will not enforce these laws unless he sees fit. So much for his constitutional duty to execute the law of the land. He's guilty of dozens of impeachable offenses, but will a Republican-controlled Congress even initiate open investigations? Will a Republican-conrolled Supreme Court challenge him when the chips are down? Will the mainstream news media, controlled as they are by corporate America (in the neoconservative camp), publish unbiased news, much less initiate deep Watergate-style investigative reporting? Will the Diebolds of the country ever permit free and open elections again? No, no, no, no, no -- not if they can help it.

I began my political life as an Eisenhower Republican, a fiscal conservative, a social moderate. I heard Eisenhower warn of the dire consequences if the military/industrial complex even gained power in this country. Now his Republican Party is controlled by the military/industrial complex. They win elections by (1) controlling "Christian" fundamentalists of the James Dobson ilk; (2) by suppressing votes of the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and minorities; and (3) by spending money right and left, a small fraction of the profit they earn from tax cuts, no-bid contracting, and K-street/Cheney influences written into law. Halliburton and their type are the Power behind the throne; George II with Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove--theirs are the thrones that sit upon this Power.

Impeachable offenses? You bet! But not likely, given the Power George II has attained and given the do-nothing, see-nothing, hear-nothing Republican Congress. And the keep-quiet, don't-upset-the-apple-cart, don't-challenge-the-election-results Democrats now in line on Capitol Hill and also under the influence of that military/industrial complex.

OK, you asked for my opinion. You got it. Am I worried about the country my chlildren and grand-children will inherit? Yes, absolutely. I'd rather the country not be led by a womanizer, but I'll take a womanizer any day over a Machiavellian determined to undermine our democracy, a Republican who would substitute an oligarchy for our republic!

Answer 2

Clinton did more bad things than just that "act of sex". He lied about it to a grand jury, for one thing. Though that is certainly illegal and a despicable thing for a sitting President to do, I wouldn't have impeached him for that alone. Had they thrown in the facts that he gave nuclear power to a nation technically at war with the United States, and the selling of secrets to China, then I think impeachment would have made more sense, and not looked so much like the political ploy it was.

As for Bush, it's clear that nothing will be done about his actions this year, in terms of possible impeachment. I've seen that proposed articles of impeachment have been published when I last went to Borders, though I didn't have time to read them. Next time I get out there, I think I will. If the Dems take the House in November, maybe they'll push for it. We'll see.

Linda: Clinton WAS impeached, he just wasn't convicted. Impeachment is the rough equivalent of indictment.

Answer 3

Clinton did good economically not millitarly, Clinton closed hundreds of military bases and was one of the biggest reasons that so many reservists had to go to war, now Bush still hasn't really done anything but for someone to say Clinton was pretty much perfect is bull.

Answer 4

I'm sorry you have been so miserable these past 6 years. It really must be a living hell for you.

Liberals always say Slick did so much for the country, but they never say what. He inherited an economic upturn, was gifted with the tech boom and handed Bush an economic downturn as he left office having just pardoned criminal friends and people who bribed his family. I don't care if he schpooged on Monica's dress, I care that you can't trust anything he says.

Get over it already.

Answer 5

Bush saved lives by putting murderers to death. The economy is stronger now than during ANY of clintons years as pres, unemployment is lower, the only economic indicater that is lower now than during clintons presidency is new home sales. you pay less taxes, you make more money, and yet you complain that your life is somehow worse off. not only has bush done far more for this country than clinton ever dreamed of, but he did it while having to deal with more than any president since MAYBE roosevelt. Multiple wars simultaniously, 9/11, the worst natural disasters in american history. check the facts before you go writing slander and myth to further your political agenda.

Answer 6

First of all Clinton did not get impeached he should have though. 911 would not have happened if Clinton would have taken Bin Lad den when the Saudis were going to hand him over to us. Bush just needed to clean up his mess. Also to we were warned about the 911 threat while Clinton was in office and he did nothing. Get your facts straight.

Answer 7

my opinion is that you're a dishonest dipstick.

Clinton get grief because he LIED, not over sex, he got well deserved disrespect for wh@aring out the White house, cheating on his wife and taking unfair advantage of one of his employees. His impeachment, despite your liberal lies, was about his dishonesty.

Bush didn't murder anyone. At least he's doing something FOR this country, not against this country like Clinton. Thanks to Bill, the N Koreans and Iranians have nukes with which to threaten us.

Answer 8

Dunno why people got upset over Clinton enjoying something I do about every night. I am waiting and hoping someone good especially a Democrat will run for the next Pres. We need a great next President who can take care of what Bush has screwed up.

Answer 9

If Clinton had done his job there would not have been terrorists attacks on 911. After all it was during his administration that the terrorists were taking flying lessons but did not want landing lessons! FBI agents tried t point it out well before the attacks but were ignored by the top.

Answer 10

Clintoon didn't do D1CK for 8 years. He had a Republican Congress the controlled the Federal reserve.

Bush has been at war for 8 years, fighting people that hate america because of people like you!
