Dude, you live in the same world as Dorothy and the Tinman. You’re ridiculous. The Republicans had 55 seats in the senate and could not get a majority for conviction in an obvious case of obstruction because of politics. Your naivete is something to see. Let us recap:
Clinton was diddling the help while discussing troop movements with a congressmen. He then lied and obstructed justice in front of a grand jury. About a year later two Republican Speakers resigned. Republicans lost seats in the House during the sixth year of a presidency, the first time this had happened in well over 100 years.Clinton finished out his term.
Big win for Newt.
You are not aware of David Schippers. He made it clear that the House Managers were SOLD OUT by the Republicans in the Senate.
Long before the results of the 1998 election Lott said do not bring that crap over here, that crap being the impeachment charges.
The reason that some Republicans felt comfortable not voting for impeachment was the trial was a SHAM because the House Managers were hamstrung by the rules agreed to by Phil Gramm. I am not sure if they ever could have got a conviction but I know the cards were stacked against them not because of Newt but because of the rules. Newt Gingrich NEVER sold out, it was the RINOS in the Senate.
All the former head cheerleader at the University of Mississippi wanted to do was sing with his buddy that political crossdresser Jeffords in the Senate's barbershop quartet, he could not be bothered with considering such matters as the criminality of Bill Clinton.
To blame Newt and give the likes of Lott and Gramm a pass tells me you are no conservative but a treacherous RINO just like Lott and Gramm who I am sure wherever they are, are supporting Romney by attacking Gingrich just as you are doing.
I give your due dude, not only do you have the Black Knight's laugh, you have every bit of his tenacity. Enough said, you have proven your loyalty to Mitt by your unflinching hatred of Gingrich by denying every reasonable argument.
“Big win for Newt.”
You Newt bashing simpleton. Quit revising history, we lost seats because Gingrich and Kasich were attempting to get more budget cuts.
Clinton shut down the damn government and the media blamed it on Republicans.
That’s why seats were lost.
