Bill lied over a BJ, nobody died & he got impeeched?

Question

But when George lied, thousands died and that's not an impeechable offense?

Answer 1

Clinton lied under oath.

Bush has lied, but not under oath.

Lying under oath is against the law. He broke the law. And the republicans beat that horse straight to China. A number of them still beat that horse even though there's only bones left.

Until they get Bush into a courtroom in the same situation, he will be allowed to continue on his merry way.

But even IF the democrats could get him into court, he would just use "executive privilege" or "state secrets" (like he is so fond of doing when caught doing something questionable) and get the case halted or thrown out. Or he could just claim that everyone was an enemy combatant and throw them all in Gitmo.

It would take significant acts of congress and probably several visits to the supreme court before Bush was proven guilty. He's given the executive enough power to stifle almost anything.

Answer 2

The problem is that Bill should NOT have been under oath in the first place. The Republican Congress should have had better things to do than spend time making that a big issue.

In contrast, there has been a mountain of evidence to suggest that the justifications to go to war with Iraq were exaggerated at the very least, and up to today, there have not been any hearings. Neo-Cons need to quit being so obsessed about Bill's sex life and look around - this country's reputation is being dragged through the mud by an intellectually-lazy fear-mongering aristocrat.

Answer 3

My opinion is that the democrats want to keep Bush right where he is. Why impeach the guy when you can investigate the president and his cronies and make the entire party look bad? And, Bush plays right into their hands. His whole deal with A. Gonzalez. Well, he looks like a stand up guy. Uh-huh the vast majority in this country don't buy it and the repubicans look like dirt because they let this guy through.
Bush is a train wreck and the republicans will be lucky if he doesn't destabilize their entire party.

Answer 4

Congress takes Perjury seriously. Period.


Sean - Clinton was Impeached. Learn a little about Civics. I get a little tired of explaining this, Impeachment is about the House finding enough evidence to try the President(or Supreme Court Justices). Clinton was not convicted in the Senate. OK now do you have it? I can explain it a little slower...

You know what, I'm sorry for being so cranky, but this was only 10 years ago. What do they teach you people in school?

Answer 5

I just cannot understand the liberals love for Clinton. He did NOTHING in 8 years in the Oval office. Clintons popularity was because of the Regan administrations policies. After 7 years and change the markets took a dive. The stock market decline started in March, 2000 under the wonderfull Clintor reign. He will be remembered in history as the worst president ever.

Answer 6

*sigh.* For the umpteenth time, he could get a BJ from anyone he wanted. He was impeached for PERJURY, not for a BJ. But it was exceedingly poor of him to abuse his power and position over a college intern. Professors are fired for the same conduct, as Commander in Chief, the top military position in this country, he should be held to the same standard of the soldiers he commands. They are kicked out of the service and courtmartialed for adultery or abuse of position. But it wasn't about a BJ. It was about PERJURY. He lied to Congress under oath. What do you think would have happened to YOU if YOU had perjured yourself before Congress? That is a criminal offense in this country.

Answer 7

adult men! in case you have cheated on your spouse. Do you come sparkling or do you lie? in case you assert come sparkling...then you certainly can *****. in case you assert, LIE like the dogs i'm...then close up approximately bill by way of fact distinctive us would have lied below a similar circumstances. you recognize what i'm speaking approximately. So end pretending... I even have distinctive buddies from the two events. i know what you adult men do on your own lives.

Answer 8

Bill listened to Dianne Feinstein, John Kerry, Joe Lieberman, Thomas Daschle, and a whole bunch of other Senators in the Committee on Armed Services in 1998 in their written request:

"to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."

So, he shot missles into Iraq ---IN 1998---because, according to Bill, Iraq was making Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Looks like he got to "slick Willy" his way out of that one too.

So, who lied again?

Per Bill,

"Together we must also confront the new hazards of chemical and biological weapons, and the outlaw states, terrorists and organized criminals seeking to acquire them. Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade, and much of his nation's wealth, not on providing for the Iraqi people, but on developing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."
President Clinton, Jan. 27, 1998.

Answer 9

Actually in the midst of the scandal he had the opportunity to kill Bin Laden and did not because he did not want more 'potential negative' publicity. Therefore his BJ did kill thousands of people

Answer 10

Billy Bob lied to Congress and the Supreme Court, you have yet to produce one single lie made by Bush.
