Clinton was impeached; Bush won't be. Is this justice?

Question

Does this tell the world about what America's values really are?

Mel, the fact that Bush has not been found guilty is part of the problem. In fact, he has not even been investigated, to the great shame of Congress.

Timberstone, these are the only two lies you need to know:

"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. "
and
"Should Saddam Hussein choose confrontation, the American people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war."

Answer 1

I don't know what you are freaking talking about people. CLINTON WAS NEVER IMPEACHED...PICK UP A NEWSPAPER ONCE IN A WHILE....he went to trial for impeachment, but the Senate never approved it.


The constitution states that impeachment should only occur in response to a high crime....I'm sorry....getting a BJ and then lying about it? Not a high crime. Starting a war under false pretenses????? Hmmmm...



AND...TO THE DOUCHE-ROCKET WHO MENTIONED bUSH BEING LIKE THE MODERN DAY JEWS....YOU OBVIOUSLY LIVE IN HICKTOWN AMERICA WHERE PEOPLE STILL HATE JEWS.

Answer 2

Someone said Bush never lied under oath. That is at the very least a matter of controversy...

http://www.hereinreality.com/funeralgate.htm

Bush filed an affidavit in the case to avoid testifying...but there are problems...

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/08/24/president.2000/bush.funeral/

"He filed an affidavit in May's original lawsuit, claiming 'I have had no conversations with SCI officials, agents, or representatives concerning the investigation or any dispute arising from it.'"

"But by his own admission, Bush did drop in on a meeting between Waltrip and Joe Allbaugh, the governor's former chief of staff who is now Bush's 2000 presidential campaign manager. Bush said it was merely a quick social visit."

That issue was quickly put to bed in the aftermath of 9/11 with a quick out of court settlement. If that was Clinton, it would have been the subject of a full investigation and then impeachment proceedings.

That's most certainly why Bush refused to go under oath with the 9/11 commission. He didn't like the idea of swearing an oath to tell the truth and having it thrown back at him later when he had to back track.

There's no question that he took the nation to war under false pretenses. If it had been Clinton leading an invasion like that, then finding out there were no WMD's, the Republicans would all but have him roasting over an open flame.

It's not justice at all.

The sad part is that when Hillary is elected, she will probably be impeached.

The economy will improve dramatically in 2 years under a Democratic President and Democratic Congress, and all of a sudden people will forget about 2.75 /gallon gas, and will start listening when the Republicans start screaming about character as an issue.

So they'll elect a Republican majority in the 2010 elections...

...and Hillary will be impeached by 2011.

The Republicans won't make the mistake of waiting until the 2nd term to impeach a Clinton this time. They've learned from that mistake.

Answer 3

Clinton grew to become into impeached yet complete his term in workplace. Bush has accomplished no longer something to justify impeachment, he has broken no regulation or dedicated any impeachable act so how could desire to we bypass approximately doing what maximum persons could prefer to make certain yet won't be able to be justifiably accomplished. Dislike of the President isn't grounds for impeachment! beginning a war with Iraq? The shape says that throughout common terms Congress can declare war, yet no President in historic past has ever asked Congress for permission till now going to war, they start up a war then tell Congress that we are at war & Congress provides you them the money to combat mentioned war. extraordinary device, if in common terms it worked because it grew to become into meant to paintings. it may be super if the human beings we % a minimum of knew what's written interior the form & observed it, issues could paintings so lots greater advantageous in this united states in the event that they did so.

Answer 4

slick willie "impeached"? Nope. For THAST to happen BOTH the house and senate would have to have voted that way.

"President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999."

"At the Federal level, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching the President, Vice President and all other civil officers of the United States. Officials can be impeached for: "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate."

Answer 5

See the only thing Bush could be impeached for is the "patriot act"!! Because the sets aside of the our constitutional rights. However Congress voted and accepted the Patriot Act. So they would have to impeach themselves too.
It says all politicians are crooked.

Answer 6

When we invaded Iraq, Libya immediateely gave up their nuclear program. They were the ones that admitted murdering the innocent men, women and children in several airline terror acts. Reagon bombed them.

History will prove what he has done. I think it's nuts to just throw money around when the people hate you.

Thing is we have not had an attack and it is a fact that if Reno had let the FBI look in the captured terror suspect's computer there would have been no 9/11 because we now know the evidence was in it.

If we get hit again then you can hang it up as we have relly not recovered yet.

Answer 7

Mel-the reason he did not get caught for lying under oath is he refuses to take an oath! He and Cheney both refused during the 9/11 Commission. And, then recently members of his cabinet were questioned regarding the Valerie Plame thing (or was it the attorney firings-so many scandals and examples of corruption, I can't keep track) where they refused to allow anyone to testify unless they could do it without taking an oath and without being recorded! What does this say to you? By the way, just because he has not been caught and impeached does not mean he has not lied, and 75% (I think that his approval rate is around 25% right now-something close to that) of America agrees.

Answer 8

Very much so. Clinton perjured himself. It matters not what he lied about under oath. The fact is that he in fact did perjure himself. As much as those on the left want to see President Bush impeached there is just nothing there. He has not done anything worthy of impeachment.

It is obvious that some people frequenting Yahoo are not well versed in civics. Impeachment is not removal from office. Impeachment of the President of the United States is conducted in the House and the House only. To date 2 Presidents have been impeached but none has been removed from office. Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton were both impeached. Neither was removed from office, however.

Answer 9

Bush won't be impeached because Bush hasn't committed any crimes, despite whatever contrived typical Bush-hating drivel you might have heard at the latest Code Pink meeting or Bill Maher show.

Bill Clinton technically was suspected of breaking a law, and while I don't agree with all the money and time wasted investigating a "crime" that had no impact on the country as a whole, it was a legitimate investigation.

Answer 10

Bush`s handlers are smart enough from keeping him from testifying under oath (remember the 9/11 commission?)

If Clinton claimed his d!ck was a matter of national security, then he never would have been impeached.
Says alot of about American values; kill, murder, war profiteering is ok, just no getting head in the White House.
