Not necessarily. The Dems realized the folly in impeaching a popular President during the Iran Contra Affair. Reagan was a very popular President and they decided not to alienate the people by impeaching him. Again, we see that the charges did not rise to the level that would be necessary to justify overturning a national election. Also, the Republicans would not support the impeachment of Reagan, so it would have been foolhearty to indict him with a House impeachment. The Republican Party may not have enough experience at being the majority party because impeaching Clinton was clearly a huge political mistake. IMHO, it reeks of Newt Gingrich and his childlike approach to political power plays. Whoever lead the Republicans down this path will be purged in the upcoming months( if not already ). I'm actually a conservative Democrat and will vote for Republicans if they drop the abortion issue and other religious slants. Since I'm in business for myself, I see the benefits of the fiscal agenda of the Rep's. However, they will have get rid of the far right. The Democrats have moved away from the far left liberal agenda by moving to a more centrist agenda with Clinton. The Republicans are going to have to learn from their example or face serious consequences at the polls in the next general election.
