Like Nixon did and Clinton should have, something you'll never or at least very rarely see from the left.

Nixon DID step down.

Best thing Lott could have done.  The Dems were hoping he'd stick around so they could continue to play the only hand they have: race.  Lott was just a Washington insider, not popular with the Republican party in general.  Shooting himself in the foot was just more proof that he wasn't fit to lead.

Looks more to me like he got purged for divulging secret party agenda.

Nixon would have been impeached and convicted...

Clinton was found Not-guilty.

Clinton was found Not-guilty.

Then why was he impeached?

Yeah, there's SUCH a difference.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Nice spin, Nixon wasn't impeached but "would" have been. Clinton wasn't impeached but was. You're making my point for me.

Impeachment is akin to indictment... it is followed by a trial in the Senate.

Clinton was impeached because the house felt there was sufficient evidence to bring him to trial. He was found not-guilty in the trial.

Nixon resigned before the impeachment process could begin. Even his own party had turned against him and it was a forgone conclusion that he would be convicted as well as impeached.

Impeachment does not equal conviction.

you can't be so blind as not to see the difference btwn the reps & dems honor system .... who was the rep who resigned when the dem backer porno producer hustler mag L Flynt threaten to drag out the dirt on his infidelity? what did our "fearless" leader do? drag the the country through the gutter with him...

maybe it's brain washed instead of blind, but the would require "something" to be "washed" so it must be blind....

Clinton was indeed found to be guilty of lying under oath by a federal judge, which why impeachment process was initiated. But you guys know this, you're just trolling.

Woot!

That was funny.. Mr. Party line, whatever the Republidorks do is right, I don't care who runs against them.

I looked back at my post. Did you see anything untrue in there?
Here's a clue for you:

Clinton was NOT the antiChrist and GWB is not Christ....
