Ok. So i know that Clinton was officially impeached. That was for his sexual escapade with that Lewinsky ho...so my true question is: If Clinton was impeached for lying under oath for something so miniscule...then why havent we tried to impeach Bush for lying to entire country about the link betweek Iraq and terrorists or weapons of mass destruction? Which, i am sure you know has actually AFFECTED the country...by means of hundreds of billions of dallars.
This may be an "old topic" but i really want to know what people think.

Okay, purgery..or pergery..whatever. Do you STILL think that is as bad as misleading the world to think that we had probably cause for a war in Iraq? I think not!

I think Bill Clinton was a great president, and he's doing wonderful things now....I absolutely think G.W. Bush should be impeached!! I can't stand the man, I always joke around and say he's the anti-Christ....he just might be.....he and his administration are destroying our country....he just signed a 2.1 BILLION dollar bill to build a fence on our Mexican border..... a fence? A FREAKIN' FENCE?!?! Don't you think that money could be going to a better cause?? Rebuilding the Gulf Coast? Education? I could go on for a VERY long time, but I'll spare you! I hope this answered your question! : )

Clinton's impeachment was a gross misuse of government funds to catch him in a lie that did not have any bearing on the State of our nation.
Bush lied directly before Congress saying he "knew" there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He has never been held to account for that lie.
Please note the arrogant tone of the responses from so-called Conservatives on this Y!A string- specifically "rukidding".

You know what we people think! Liberals think like you do; conservatives don't.
First, I don't think taking advantage of an intern in the oval office is "minuscule," but maybe you have different values than I. Second, Bush hasn't lied about any of this stuff. He told Congress, who believed it, even Democrats, the truth as he knew it to be at the time. Regardless, I don't think it was a bad thing to remove the genocidal maniac Saddam Hussein and his family and friends from power. I've seen the Kurds thank us more than once. Further, if Bush did lie, for the sake of argument, he didn't do it under oath to a special prosecutor. Clinton did. Therefore, Clinton broke the law and was impeached. Bush has not broken any law despite what you people see on YouTube or MoveOn or any other ridiculous website. So, no he cannot nor should he be impeached.

first of all Clinton lied under oath. 2d is that Bush must be impeached yet till at present the republicans controlled maximum human beings of the domicile and Senate and that they gained't impeach him. Now the Democrats have maximum human beings yet you desire 2/3 to question

In Clinton's case it was all a setup job in order to gain control by the republican party and the right. U have seen nothing yet, wait until Ms Clinton runs, then you will see how bad the republican right really is.
On the net (google) see "loosechange 911cover up" then make up your own mind.
We the people of the United States allowed all the things coming from our leadership because we were afraid to speak out and ask questions about what was really going on.
We got what we deserve.

The first two answers are correct. Clinton broke the law when he lied to a grand jury. Pretty much cut and dry there.
Bush went to war, with the approval of Congress, because intelligence he received led him, and several others, that Saddam possessed WMD. You will have a hard time proving that he lied about that.

it would take two years and much money for the lawywers to impeach bush, who would be out of office anyway. No one really cares about him at this point, no one who is running for office anyway. I guess if he was too busy being distracted by lawsuits it might keep him out of trouble, which would be good for the rest of the real world.

You believe all the senators, the UN, the UK, Canada, Japan, Poland, and several other nations and leaders, who signed on to the UN security counsel, lied to YOU. Elected Officials who have security clearance and Information beyond your imagination, lead YOU astray and lied to YOU!

lying to a grand jury under oath is "miniscule"? Tell that to every other person who went to prison for it.
I'm sure he was honest about everything else, right? (whitewater)

No it was not for his escapade, it was for perjury.
