If you'll remember, it was Republicans who pushed him out of his leadership position in 1999.
Maybe it's because the republicans have a higher standard than do the democrats. Maybe the democrats should take a few lessons from the republicans.
Don't be silly. They pushed him out because he blew the 1998 midterm elections where the Democrats actually picked up seats. The fact is that Americans as a whole were totally against trying to drive Clinton from office. But Republicans didn't care what the American people wanted (Kinda like today) It was Tom DeLay (that paragon of virtue who was convicted of money laundering in TX in November of 2010) who insisted in going for impeachment instead of censure.
With that said, corruption is pretty much an equal opportunity sideline for politicians because our system is awash in money. Unfortunately, the SC decision in Citizens United vs the FEC case is only going to make it worse. However, it always seems that it's the Republicans who take it to a higher level.
While I'm at it, guess which presidential administration had more
scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the most of any president?
It was conservatives' beloved Reagan.

And just to bring this post back to the present, we almost certainly wouldn't be having the OWS protests we're having right now if it wasn't for the fact that so many of our politicians sold out to special interests for money at the expense of average Americans.
And now? A former lobbyist, Newt Gingrich, who claims he wasn't a lobbyist at all, is at the top of the GOP race for the nomination. How ironic and absurd this all is. While OWS protesters are bemoaning corruption, the GOP now has a corrupt former lobbyist leading in the polls.
Sure ok if thats what you want to believe. do not stand there and complain because I just farted when you have a load of shit in your underwear.
