Welcome to the Republican controlled congress. Democrats have been doing the things they want for 50 years. You sound like a real sorehead. What's the matter, don't like getting the same congressional treatment that your boys have been giving for 50 years. Grow up and quit crying. The Senate does not have enough republicans to partisan the president out. Only with democrat votes will that happen. If impeachment even takes place. Calm down. After watching Dems in action on C-Span for the past 12-14 years, I am loving the current situation. Jack Brooks and company used to make my blood boil. Their pompous, arrogant mistreatment of the Repubs was an EVERYDAY occurrence. Now you don't like it, tough. alan w

My vision is too blurred by the mental picture of the bodies of our American soldiers being dragged through the streets of Somalia with NO outrage from our President to recognize what your point was so please read my earlier thoughts! Message 5796560

Hiram: You are becoming hysterical. Impeachment quite clearly was intended as a cleansing mechanism for the office of the President and other officers who abused the public trust. We are not talking broken campaign promises here. Take a look at the list I posted previously. Those ain't jaywalking offenses. Never mind that finger waggin' episode which I feel in and of itself by its very affirmative intent to deceive is impeachable. JLA

Clinton's 1974 remarks on Nixon and impeachment Representative Is "Out of Step," Clinton Charges ARKANSAS GAZETTE, 1974 FLIPPIN -- United States Representative John Paul Hammerschmidt of Harrison is wrong in opposing President Nixon's resignation and is wrong in questioning whether the president has committed an impeachable offense, Bill Clinton of Fayetteville, Hammerschmidt's opponent, said here Wednesday. In the wake of the president's admission Monday that he had lied about his role in the Watergate coverup, Hammerschmidt said, "We need to do our duty as quickly as possible. We should have done it a year ago." "I don't see how in the world he can say that when a year ago he was saying we should forget about it and he voted against giving funds for the House Judiciary Committee staff," Clinton said. Hammerschmidt flatly opposed resignation. "I think it's plain that the president should resign and spare the country the agony of this impeachment and removal proceeding," Clinton said. "I think the country could be spared a lot of agony and the government could worry about inflation and a lot of other problems if he'd go on and resign." Hammerschmidt said after the president's revelations Monday he was not sure whether Mr. Nixon's actions legally were impeachable. Clinton, a law professor at the University of Arkansas, said there was "no question that an admission of making false statements to government officials and interfering with the FBI and the CIA is an impeachable offense." Hammerschmidt's statement "puts him out of step with all the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee who voted against impeachment" before the Monday revelations and now are "calling for resignation because of clear and direct evidence of an impeachable offense," Clinton said. Clinton said he was campaigning hard across the Third Congressional District and was "pleased with the response I'm getting." Although it's "hard to raise money in July and August for a November campaign, especially after the very expensive primaries," Clinton said, "so far I've made all my expenses and our planning is going along well."
