Republicans wish to impeach Clintong for Sex. Shouldn't American people impeach Bush for lying.?

Question

Republicans chase a President to embarass him. Who in America is challenging President Bush for lying to American people about Iraq. He has sent innocent military personnel to be murdered in a no win agenda. Should not this President be put on trial for treason, perjury and murder?

I am a right wing conservative who believes America's image has been damaged severely by this incumbent.

Answer 1

Prove he lied!.....if you tell a lie long enough you will believe it's the truth. Your lies are beginning to BORE ME!

Answer 2

Clinton was not impeached for having sex - (this is disgraceful, but not an impeachable offense). Under oath, Clinton lied and tried to cover up his conduct. He was fined $700,000 for what he did to Paula Jones. He was disbarred and cannot practice as an attorney. President Bush did not lie to the American people. If he did, many more people than you would be asking this stupid question - but they aren't. You must be influenced by "The Daily Show" which isn't a real news reporting show. There is no "outrage" against the president - why do you feel that way?

The military is an all volunteer force and re-enlistments are higher than ever. You really have your facts wrong. There is no clamor - even among Democrats to put the President on trial for any crime. Get a life dude.

Answer 3

I find it interesting that the Right bashes Clinton for lack of attention to a budding terrorist (Osama) in the 90's when they took a lot of President's and country's attention, energy and time away by engaging in the purely partisan activity of impeaching him--and totally forgive Bush when he had been at the wheel for 10 months when the towers were hit. I try not to blame Bush for everything and I don't give him credit every time something good happens. I'm Liberal, but I don't know if Bush should be impeached or not. Other than accusations, I haven't heard actual facts coming in any legal form by the Democrats yet. I just don't like the direction he has taken us.

Also, there was no guilt proven regarding the Clinton's "Whitewater" scandal...if you think the Clintons were so powerful to get out of it, you forget how powerful the Republican party could be to fabricate or intimidate people as well.

Answer 4

Look Bush should be impeached! Not only has he lied, but he has screwed America in to a downward fall, unless some one can pull us out of it we are screwed. What the Democrats should have jumped on was that Bush ordered that a CIA agent be released to the public, which is treason and the punishment for treason is death! Bush had a day set when he was going to invade Iraq, it really didn't matter that they posed no threat to use or even had any thing to do whit 9/11. Our armed Forces should have stayed in Afghanistan to find Osama, but because that was going badly Bush need an excuse to get to try to get his ratings up by taking out Hussein. But to because Bush is retarded he did not go in with enough troops, and caused the skirmish to drag on indefinitely. The President should be put on trial for treason, murder, and misleading the county! Democrats and Republicans GROW SOME BALL AND CHALLENGE HIM! Being an 18 year older this is little i can do some one help me to help the country!

Answer 5

I'm with you. I don't know why our legislative bodies are not more incensed by his lack of honest and competent leadership. Impeachment is an indictment - it paves way for an investigation and trial by Senate. The constitution says that impeachment should occur if the president commits, "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." Certainly going to war without valid justification would qualify as high crimes against this country. Bush is an employee of America, a public servant - he can not LIE to the people he serves, then pompously shrug them off when they demand him to be accountable for his decisions. Personally, I want to know exactly what Bush did to manipulate us into entering Iraq, and I don't think this would be possible without an impeachment.

Answer 6

Republicans did not impeach Clinton for Sex. They impeached him for lying -- perjuring himself before the people and government he had sworn an oath of honesty to.

Additionally, the vast bulk of the investigation involved bribes, corruption, payoffs and kickbacks involving the Clinton's business dealings while in Arkansas.

And give up on the 'innocent military personnel to be murdered' -- volunteers don't go to war to support someones agenda -- they go to protect the interests of America and her allies. Nobody has been drafted, no service has been forced. The sacrifices of the past few years have been borne by volunteers who believe that the efforts in Iraq are reasonable.

Answer 7

Mr Clinton lied under oath which is a felony. Most in public office lie. This is not an impeachable act. Also not treason has been commited by President Bush.
Sorry to bust you bubble.

Answer 8

Ya know, John kerry, bill and hillary clinton Madeline albrightand a whole slew of other people from your side of the aisle were quoted as saying the same thing Bush did. the ONLY person that was saying Saddam didn't have weapons was Saddam. That's a historical fact. There was no lie. Either the world was wrong, not just Bush, or Saddam had them and moved them during the nine months we spent arguing on wether to go in there in the first place. To say Bush lied is rewriting history.

Answer 9

Bush will not be impeached as long as the congress is majority Republican. You think they will admit that they made a mistake getting the guy into office? Not to mention that his party was a part of the reason (I'm sure) that he went into Iraq in the first place. The reason Clinton was impeached was because he was the president during a majorly Republican Congress. They did it to get a Republican into the oval office (which they did). It's all about who gets to sit behind the large oak desk in the oval office, isn't it?

Answer 10

Keep in mind, Clinton was impeached for lying to a Grand Jury Investigation about an act that while immoral, was not illegal. The current president is actually breaking laws, but I suppose Ken Starr is just not interested in this one. Nothing salacious to dig up on Mr. Bush.

The key is to never engage in anything extra-maritally and you will be fine.

Answer 11

That would require a democratic Congress. I would rather them spend time on the issues that have been ignored for the past 6 years then spend time on an impeachment that at best would result in President Cheney!
