I wonder... They keep sayiong it was because he got a BJ -- but I keep reading over the articles of impeachment and it doesn't say anything at all about oral sex with anyone. What gives?

For instance, I saw this:
"William Jefferson Clinton, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has willfully corrupted and manipulated the judicial process of the United States for his personal gain and exoneration, impeding the administration of justice..."
Hmmmm. Nothing about oral sex...

On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought against him to execute a sworn affidavit in that proceeding that he knew to be perjurious, false and misleading.... On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought against him to give perjurious, false and misleading testimony if and when called to testify personally in that proceeding... On or about December 28, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly engaged in, encouraged or supported a scheme to conceal evidence that had been subpoenaed in a Federal civil rights action brought against him....
Well... still nothing about oral sex...

Well, here's a link... Maybe you guys can find the part where it charges him with having oral sex... I just don't see it listed there among the charges of obstruction of justice, perjury, witness tampering, and so forth...

I wish somebody would send me a link to that part... I'd like to be able to find it... I'd like to read that part so i can print it out and say to all my conservative friends, "They were right, those liberals! Clinton was impeached for having a bj. It says so right here in black and white."
It would be a great help if somebody could point that out for me.

Hey, i'm just trying to prove you liberals right! I just want to vindicate all of you liberals -- show everybody that you were right! Please help me show people you were right! Give me the evidence I need...please!
All you have to do is show me the part where it says Clinton was impeached for getting a bj. Is that so hard?

jdfasu... Yes. Actually, he was impeached.
He just wasn't convicted.
2006-09-18 13:14:38 · update #6
Well... there are three posts down towrds the bottom that may explain why liberals don't know why Clinton was impeached... it would seem to be because they don't know what impeachment means!

Yes, he was impeached (tried, not convicted) of perjury, suborning perjury, and (I believe) impeding a congressional investigation.
But then, most people can't seem to understand that impeachment is the trial process, and someone counts as being impeached even if they are acquitted at the end of the trial.

They know they just don't care that he perjured himself, when was the last time a Democrat told the truth to America anyway?Besides he is a Democrat and isn't subject to the rule of law as they hold Republicans to. They cry you're guilty even if there is only an allegation with not evidence to support it. It is the way Democrats work and has been for the last 40 yrs. They say it's the appearance of impropriety that counts when looking at Republicans but if it's aimed at Dems or Liberals they say it is a vast right-wing conspiracy and can't we do away with the politics of personal attacks. Hypocrites and liars with no morals that's Liberal Democrats.

You do could desire to look at a number of those products your self. do no longer purely settle for what you have been instructed or what you study on a spiritual or an extremely conservative internet internet site or Fox information. there is a selection of of incorrect information accessible, and you will no longer get the entire tale from a partisan suggestions source. invoice and Hillary have been matters of continuous harassment by Republicans. Why do I say harassment? simply by fact after six years of investigations, they could no longer even fee him with something different than the lie approximately Monica. those investigations have been performed at taxpayer price and fee thousands and thousands of dollars. the final, maximum able attorneys have been used by the Republicans. the numerous statements on your record are quite all relating to the Monica affair, and others are purely no longer authentic. All of those are authentic, and all are a results of invoice's lie relating to the Monica affair. the only president ever impeached on grounds of non-public malfeasance - First president sued for sexual harassment. - First president to envision a criminal protection fund. - First president disbarred from the US very superb court docket and a state court docket those relax of the statements on your record are no longer authentic, or they incorporate considerable distortions.

it was Lieing about the bj that got him in trouble.
Hey if they will go to any lengths to impeach a dem why have there not been any hearings to impeach Bush. There are plenty of reasons to at least look into it.

One, he WASN'T impeached. It was a hearing on IMPEACHING THE PRESIDENT. Two, I saw the hearing. If it wasn't for oral sex, then why were they continuing to ask questions about it? Why did the impeachment process occur after finding out he cheated on his wife? C'mon, you can't be that obtuse, and find something better to do then switch the subject of the past to YOUR CURRENT PRESIDENT BEING A LIAR AND AN @SS....

It's common misconception that he got impeached for having sex in oval office when he was impeached for lying under oath/obstruction of justice.

Would have been more interesting if you had just asked "Why do you Liberals think Clinton was Impeached" and left it at that.

Yes, I'm sure people who are informed know the reasons. They also know the politics too. It's nice to be balanced.
