Lets compare and contrast.
Breaking into the headquarters of the opposition political party with the intent of stealing the presidential election of the United States (Watergate) versus A shady real estate deal. (Whitewater)
Selling weapons to a terrorist country and enemy of the United States to finance an illegal war in South America that Congress specifically forbids (Iran-Contra) versus A married man receiving oral sex from someone other than his wife. (Clinton and Monica)
If you don't like my examples, feel free to provide your own. See if you can find even ONE massive act of corruption by Democrats that even comes close to the worst the Republicans have done.

LOL... it's really fun watching you guys grasping at nothing. I'm enjoying the show. Thanks. :-)
For the record, I don't mean to suggest perjury or BJ's are acceptable behavior. I'm just interested in comparing what Democrats have done to what Republicans have done. Not who was impeached over not answering questions about his private sex life. All Clinton's impeachment proves is that there was no grounds as which Republicans would stop to smear Clinton. If they had to hide in the closet while he has sex with his wife they would have done it. No limit to the slime.

A former president giving nuclear secrets to Red China and North Korea come to mind as recent examples.

Allowing a known terrorist who has told the US he will kill thousands of Americans walk free when he could have been taken out (Clinton vs OBL), going to war to prevent such a thing from happening (again) (Bush vs Saddam).
Leaving the state so that laws can not be voted upon because there are not enough congressmen when they know they will lose the vote (Texas state Congress Dems) or staying, arguing the vote and casting a vote, even though they know they won't win (Current Republicans in US congress)
Adding riders after bills have been passed to get what they want because they can't pass a bill of their own (Dems)
Pushing votes through without proper notification to the other side and debates (Current Dems), allowing proper debates, discussion, and research before a vote is cast (Prev Republicans)
Losing the Nuke codes on more than one occasion (Clinton). Many consider that Treason
Shall I go on? I haven't even made it through the Clinton days yet, there's many more to come.

Oh come now...... what a hideous attempt to make Clinton look like an angel! Last I knew, perjury was an impeachable offense.... And lets get it straight, when you are a President, there is NO such thing as a private adulterated sex life, so dont even go there and try to candy coat things, Clinton sucked as a President and everyone knows it!

Let me see if I understand you completely.
You are trying to convince us that the following is acceptable:
For the president of the United states to take part in illegal and unethical financial deals, then pardoning of his business partners, so they don't testify against him. ???
For the president of the United States, to blatently disrespect our Judicial system so much that he lies under oath, to a grand jury, while being investigated for sexual assault/ misconduct?
These are the things WE KNOW ABOUT! Are you so naive to think that he was not involved with any other illegal activities, merely because we don't have his dna on them?
How about this for an example of corruption. the president of the united states pardoning several (non affiliated with one another) cocaine smugglers, while family members receive monetary donations from the smugglers family/friends.
When did these things become acceptable?
If you want to make refference to things like watergate and iran/contra, at least make factual comments. Watergate was not about "fixing an election", and the iran/contra dealings were not "supporting terrorism", they were about keeping another dangerous country in check.

How about signing a deal with Vincente Fox of Mexico and Paul Martin of Canada opening up the northern and southern borders of the US, thus forming the North American Union-all three would be one political entity Folks selling out the American people is the highest form of treason

The whole Clinton regime giving communist China all the information they needed to drop a nuke on our heads. The Russians wouldn't even give China that info! There were pix on the front pages on major newspapers of him and a bunch of Chinese leaders, scholars, and scientists in our White House greasing his palm and waiting for the keys to our nuclear and rocket centers (all TOP SECRET!) so they could beg, borrow, memorize, and steal our technology while Clinton turned a deaf ear to it.
That's the worst among other vile stunts of that scrotum faced bastard!!

Sandy Berger stole documents from the National Archives. What was he trying to cover up? Where the hell is the outrage over this? You guys have 2 sets of rules - one set for you, and another for everyone else.
And, for the record, it wasn't the BJ. It was really the PERJURY, and that whole little impeachment thing.
Of course, the "depends on what your definition of IS is" and "I didn't have sexual relations with that woman" didn't help his situation.
But Sandy "the Burglar" Berger takes the cake, and we all know who's *** he was covering, now don't we?
Al Franken is scaring the hell out of me!!

I believe the FBI and CIA, and all the other alphabet soup squads were founded by the Democrats...
The Democrats pushed States Rights and Secessionism before the start of the American Civil War...
Really. We're all humans, and none of us is any better than the other. To suggest any different is to make yourself the highest example of corruption.

Perjury against a grand jury tops them all. Impeachable, if I remember correctly.
