My mother is a native German speaker and my first lanquage was German. I respectfully disagree. Oh and the wife is a German teacher.
Your point is moot. He WAS in fact Impeached. And you also conveniently gloss over the WHY. He was on trial for sexual harassment. The details of the Jones case seldom are even discussed when considering his perjury charges. In many ways, Lewinsky was the best thing that could have happened to him. It put the focus on the pres boning an intern and having her insert cigars into her snatch prior to him smoking them instead of on the account of him exposing himself to a campaing staffer and then asking her to blow him.
Look...no one gave a crap about the Flowers affair. No one was interested in the numerous women he slept with. The rape...the mashing...the sexual harrassment...those were different because they were not consensual. If he didnt want to get nailed for perjury then he should have learned from Ms Lewinsky when to keep his mouth shut.
don't forget the once shining star of the chicago dem crime family and a poster child for affirmative action-Rhodes Scholar Mel Reynolds who was convicted of extortion and banging a 16 year old girl. what republican congressman has been convicted of child rape in recent history.
what was craig convicted of?
I have yet to meet either a defense attorney or a criminal prosecutor who believes the state could have convicted Craig of anything if he had gone to trial. the cop jumped way too soon and in the absence of physical contact or spoken words, the state didn't have sufficient evidence of any crime
Once again, we have to go back 16 years to find an example to attempt to balance out dozen contemporary ones on the other side .
Get real.... For one, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct (now why did he do that?) If you think he was a choir boy, then perhaps you are also in the market for a bridge in Brooklyn. ...and, even if you want to throw this example out, there are plenty of others (from this century...).
The Top 10 Conservative Sex Scandals | NEWS JUNKIE POST
TurtleDude just well illustrated my earlier point that Conservs do not walk away from the bad apples, they look the other way.
Now, if any of you want to discount the source of the material, I need to remind you of the John Edwards story.
Why do liberals never understand this. It's called integrity, and when you don't have it, you're vulnerable to almost anything.
Let's say China wants nuclear secrets, and they threaten Bill Clinton that if he doesn't turn them over, they'll make sure the press finds out about Monica Lewinsky.......
Just how far would John Edwards have gone to keep his situation quiet if given the chance?
If this is true, Boehner should be ousted as Speaker, and the people of Ohio need to get rid of him first chance.Character matters. If you can't honor your most basic commitments, you shouldn't serve.
Believe it or not, Middleground, LOTS of people are true to their spouses. Lots of people tell the truth and do the right thing. They should be our leaders, not the unprincipled, weak-minded egomaniacs of our society.
As far as I've seen, the whole thing is made up by that sleazy blogger. Is there evidence of any kind that I have missed? If not, than why are we even talking about it? As far as anyone knows, Boehner has always been faithful to his wife.
No Bill Clinton was aquitted by the Senate. If you don't believe me look it up.
Bill Clinton was sleaze ball and I dont' respect his wife either. However a witch hunt wasting taxpayer's dollars isn't acceptable either.
... his actions OBVIOUSLY were intended to obstruct justice in the Paula Jones case...
How did his lies about a completely unrelated consentual affair obstruct justice in the Paula Jones case?
Talk to an attorney about establishing patterns, periods of prior bad acts. Im sure they can explain it to you. The Jones attorneys were pointing out that the accusation would not be out of the realm of possibility considering the totality of his behaviors. He lied under oath in giving his response.
The testimony would only establish a pattern of engaging in consensual affairs, no?
Again...ask an attorney.
You were the one that said he was OBVIOUSLY obstructing justice. You should support that claim, not an attorney.
Im GUESSING...
So you were LYING before when you said it was obvious that he intended to obstruct justice.
Obvious to anyone that doesnt have a vested interest in making sure that under no circumstances you can possibly find that repulsive scumbag guilty of anything. But to you...not obvious.
No, it's obvious to anyone who has a vested interest in making sure that scumbag is absolutely guilty of anything he was charged with.
I, however, think it's obvious he committed perjury. I also think it's asinine to say that his perjury was actually an obstruction of justice when justice was not at all obstructed by his lies.
The scumbag WAS guilty
And whats obvious to some isnt obviously obvious to others.
Me...I tend to look at someone lying while under oath as trying to avoid disclosure for motive ...hence...obstruction.
But thats just me.
You keep saying he was guilty. That's your opinion, so support it.
How was justice obstructed by his lies? How did his lies obstruct the Jones case? (hint: the case would have had the same exact result even if Clinton had told the truth)
rof just because something seems obvious to you doesn't mean you have it right. You are perfectly capable of being wrong.
Uh, the motive for sexual harassment is pretty cut and dry. No need for questioning.
See, now you contradict yourself. You are admitting that this is just your opinion, even though previously tyou try to portray it as solid fact. That's lying.
