Bush lied over far more serious matters than Clinton, he has willingly lied over Irak and sent thousands of innocent and decent young americans to their death. Why does the american people still put up with him?

IF Bush were impeached the way Clinton was but actually left office,,,,then Chaney would be your president.
Now you being a democrat wouldn't want that would you?

You mean you disagreed with his actions. The words you consider a lie were also spoken by Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, MI6, Masaad, French Intelligence, Russian Intelligence, Russian Intelligence.
If you tried to impeach this President with something that could easily be played off as a reasonable mistake.
You also have to do the math, impeachment takes 2/3 majority vote, the Democrats have a razor thin majority, many of whom ran as moderates. So the numbers for impeachment are just not there.
Even if they were with less than 1.5 years left in his term it could not make t through the system in time.
So you have no real cause and you do not have the numbers to make it happen. Unless the Democrats do not want to look foolish, then an impeachment will never happen.

Because there has been no evidence of his committing a high crime or misdemeanor which 218 members of the House of Representatives can agree on.
As for the lying over Iraq, you make the same mistake that many Americans do. The U.S. pressed the case about WMDs in Iraq before the UN Security Council in order to have that body hold Iraq in breach of previous Security Council Resolutions and have them issue a Peace Enforcement Resolution under Chapter Seven of the UN Charter. But, the reasons for our offensive military operations are contained in Public Law #107-243, which has scant mention of the WMD issue. The source below is a link to that law and you can check the reasons yourself. In so doing you will find they repeat a lot of the reasons which were contained in Public Law #105-338 , passed in 1998.
In short, the business with Iraq has been ongoing since the the UN Peace Enforcement Mission accomplished its objective of expelling Iraqi forces from Kuwait in February of 1991.
As far as sending Americans to their death, you should also know that 7,500 active duty members of the U.S. armed forces lost their lives in the eight years of the previous administration when no one was shooting at us. But, the anti-Bush "Bleeding Heart Brigade" don't ever mention that.

There is a difference between lying and being wrong. He did NOT lie about, I assume your point is WMD, the WMD's. Everyone knew Iraq had these, every intelligence source in every country. And of course he did have them, but we screwed around so long we made it fairly easy to move or bury them. We would have invaded anyway, even minus the WMD.

well because there are people like me who don't believe the democrats and their lies. just like the democrats don't believe the republicans, and i would rather put up with a war in iraq than socialized medicine.
and he can't be impeached because he did nothing wrong.
