[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Yeah, you also gotta question what they're lying about. Clinton lied about a blowjob. Nixon lied about trying to overthrow the whole election process. Of course, we all know lying about the blowjob was worse. :eek: Interestingly enough, I read a report recently that pretty much said that from the legal language used in cases like these, that Clinton didn't lie (and if he did, burden-of-proof being what it is, the prosecution did a very poor job of proving it), and the only reason he admitted to lying was to get out from under the scandal. Anyways, to provide reading material for interested parties: [URL=http://home.att.net/~Resurgence/L-clintonperjury.html]Clinton and Perjury (general overview)[/URL] Make sure to check out the links at the bottom of the page, which discuss in specific the allegations. Happy reading. And thanks for steering the topic over this way, Omega. I haven't wanted to incur the admin's wrath by starting a [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000884]"Clinton's Definition of Is: Truth or Cute Republican One-Liner?"[/URL] thread :) [QUOTE]defended Bill Clinton, even knowing that he'd had an extramarital affair and had committed perjury on the subject.[/QUOTE]Omega, did it ever occur to you that they might have thought Impeachement wasn't an appropriate punishment? Why not censure Clinton, or try him after leaving office? So many options! If the Republican leadership had decided to try another avenue, you might've winded up with a victory while at the same time avoiding a scandal which painted both parties in pretty bad light. For someone who professes to believe in the Founder's Intent, clearly you can see that there's a big difference between lying about, say, trying to thwart the other partys' election campaigns and getting a blowjob. One is clearly harmful to the national interest (which is what Impeachement is all about: removing that threat). Impeachment is not supposed to be a personal punishment for wrongdoing. You want to argue Clinton should be punished? Fine. Please explain why impeachment, and not censure, trial after office, or *GASP!* even a prosecutorial decision not to press the case. Please, explain. [/QB][/QUOTE]
