Borzou,

I know you are trying hard to understand this. Let me suggest a little mental crutch to help.

Pretend ( and you must make an honest effort for this to work ) pretend that Bill Clinton is a pro life, supply side, free market, conservative. Mentally replace Clinton's face with Reagan's.

The truth of the pro impeachment argument will jump out at you like one of those "Magic Eye" hidden pictures.

Perhaps. This is certainly not the formula to which I have adhered.

My formula amounts to something like this:

Lying+Lying+Lying+Obstruction+Lying+Lying = Abuse of Public Trust = Impeachment (since, according to Federalist #65, an impeachment court has jurisdiction over such political crimes).

All throughout this thing, the liberals have adhered to an illogical and rather unprincipled equation, something like: Lying about sex to the American Public and to a civil court and to a Federal Grand Jury, this, to deny the civil rights to another American = nothing.

Some liberals even have this formula: Clinton's lies = a good thing. (One liberal here even claim she was glad Clinton lied).
