It wasn't sexual harassment, dumbfuck. I don't condone cheating on one's spouse but it was a consensual affair between 2 adults.The rules are being followed this time as well. And soliciting a foreign national to help with a candidate's campaign is a very serious crime. Certainly more serious than lying under oath about getting a blow job.Ah, so Republicans were thwarting the will of the people when they impeached Bill Clinton, huh? Good to know.We have a thing in America called a "PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER". If a transition of power isn't peaceful...it is NON-PEACEFUL (violent, bloody, ugly).
We have one single mechanism to facilitate a peaceful transition of power...and that's called an "election". WE THE PEOPLE have the power to collectively decide.
To IMPEACH is to undo that decision...to thwart the will of the people.
To thwart the will of the people is to risk the PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER!
That is why past impeachments have been conducted openly in broad daylight for all to see and hear! If you're going to risk the peaceful transition of power you damn well better have a good case & you better make your case CLEAR to all American people! Not behind closed doors with gag orders, nameless witnesses, no due process, and making up rules as you go along!
What are the democrats risking?
He committed a number of what was considered serious crimes, at the time, and the process was done openly and in public, in compliance with the rules.
It was not a coup attempt, like we see today.
Back then, sexual harassment was considered very serious. And perjury, still is a very serious crime.
YOur accusations, lol, complete and obvious bullshit.
And yes, I agree that perjury is a serious offense. But I also put in perspective what the lie is about. And personally, I don't rank lying about a BJ as serious as using the power of the presidency to encourage another foreign leader to help find dirt on a political rival.
It is not surprising that you pretend to forget who was sexually harassed and instead focus on the consensual affair.
Such vile dishonesty is to be expected from a modern liberal.
Regardless, my point stands. Both sexual harassment and perjury were considered serious crimes back then.
We republicans have learned that sexual harassment is NOT a serious crime. We paid the price and won't make that mistake again.
