<< If Clinton were a Republican the Democrats would have been screaming from the rooftops for his removal. >> To be honest, I am not sure about this, but I would have to believe that the Democrats would not have abused power if they were in the majority role. << If Clinton were a Republican the Republican leadership would have gone to him and forced him to resign. >> How soon Republicans forget. <g> A little while ago a band of righteous Republicans gave their "speaker" a standing ovation after finding out that he had cheated on his wife over and over again. I don't care how bad this little display of bad judgement looks, I care about the message it sends. << If Clinton gets away with the crimes he's committed the precedent will be set that, as long as you're popular, and have a rabidly partisan party supporting you, that you can ignore the law at your will. >> Let's say that Clinton's crime was jaywalking? And, when questioned, he answered that he thought that he had crossed between the lines. Our country would still be going thru the damaging impeachment trial. I firmly believe that most of the Republican Party is attacking Clinton out of personal power motivation and religious zealousness.

Ross, if the Republican Congressional leadership is, as you say, so blind to partisan politics that they would force their own president to resign, why didn't they force President Reagan to resign when it became clear in about 1986 that he was completely out of touch with his adminsistration's day-to-day activities, i.e. Iran/Contra? I'm sure the Congressional Democrats would have gone along with any efforts to remove Reagan. ...in response to Ross Roberts, who wrote: If Clinton were a Republican the Republican leadership would have gone to him and forced him to resign. If he refused they would have pursued his impeachment, just as they're doing now. Joel Irby Austin, Texas
