No disrespected intended, but I have a question that's always perplexed me. If the Prez doesn't care about polls, then why on earth would anyone on here?

I'm not the biggest fan of the Prez, he's got some serious holes in policy but he's an average politician in that he gets some things right and others it's as if he's from Jupiter.

I'll say this...is Clinton was brought to impeachment hearings over his indiscretions then the bar is set pretty low for bringing things to impeachment...ALL politicians lie, that's how they stay in power...

Perjury is a low bar? Where do you set the bar at then?

Then you didn't understand what the impeachment was about.

Clinton was not " brought to impeachment hearings over his indiscretions"

He was impeached because he committed a federal felony.

The fifth amendment provides that we can not be force to testify against ourselves. The flip side of this is that we may NOT lie under oath. To do so undermines the whole justice system. While under oath we have two choices, tell the truth or shut up.

You see perjury as an indiscretion? If I were to ever be charged with it, I want you on my jury.
