Are you serious? He was not Impeached becuse Monika gave him a blow Job. Nor would he have been if he had admitted it. He was IMPEACHED because he LIED under oath to a Judge in a case about himself for the express purpose of protecting himself.
And I do not mean protection from his wife. His affairs with Monika were important to establish the idea of a pattern Clinton had established in regards women working for him or under his authority.
Whats even stupider about the whole thing is even when he was FORCED to tell the truth the Judge didn't rule in favor of Paula Jones. He lied for no reason.
Quit with the " it was all about sex" party talking points. It was about a sitting President committing Perjury to a sitting Judge in a case directly effecting that President. THAT would be the " High Crimes and Misdomeaners" he committed. AND he was GUILTY as charged. The democrats and a portion of the republicans played politics.
My personal opinion is we would have been better served if they had found him Guilty and then made the decision that the stain of the Guilty verdict would be his punishment. The Constitution says the only way to remove a President is through Impeachment, IT DOES NOT say the Senate MUST remove him if found guilty.
Woe Nellie!
You have just had a real tissy fit for NO APPARENT REASON.... I guess I just "bring that on" by simple posting, for you?
Paraphrased, Stephanie posted that if he had just told the truth in the first place, he would not have been impeached and that she didn't give 2 hoots about his sex life.
So that is why I asked her:

And as far as your post?
And you tell me that I have no right to judge Libby and the Plame affair the way I do...?
Clinton's lies were involved in a "Civil" proceeding, later he was acqutted. (Which you say is all bullshit and partisanship)
And
Libby's lies were involved in a "Criminal" investigation, later he was convicted.
(Which you again say it is all bullshit and partisan partisanship)
You OBVIOUSLY do NOT believe in our Justice system whatsoever, you only believe in your own opinion, huh?
Come to think of it, didn't you also claim that Pelosi broke the Law by going on her Foreign trip to Iran? Oh, but in this case the Law never charged her with such, but you and gunny and someone else INSISTED SHE BROKE THE LAW.....? but, again, she was never charged with such and then you come around and tell me that Libby/the VP/Rove/Armitage... did not out an agent and break the Law, because they were not charged for it?
a little fickled, no?
So, do you, or do you not, believe in the fairness of our Justice system?
