"We have to do our job," said Rep. Gene Green, a Texas Democrat. "... we risk losing the faith and trust of the American people."

Too late.

The list for Clinton's crimes sounds like the requirements for being admitted to Congress!

"If we can't remove a member of Congress who has been convicted of 10 felony counts ... we risk losing the faith and trust of the American people"

Veeery interesting!

When all the other judases spoke from the pulped they were reading it from the prepared papers. Smells like kangaroo commie court? You bet!

James is being fried for his crticism of treason and for being "undemocratic" democrat.

He had sex with Dolly Kyle Browning when she was 15. Her daddy would've been within his right to press charges.

"Too bad the Democrats weren't concerned with law and order, when they were considering Clinton's impeachment-at least the Republicans are consistent."

Bill Clinton broke the law and the Republicans let him off the hook.

What we need is the tough Newt Gingrich back.

"As far back as April 7, 1998, then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich was asked on NBC’s Today if he were going to press for impeachment. His response: "No, we don’t have any evidence."
Source.

Al Gore Broke The Law and the Republicans let him off the hook.

"I don’t care if you have proof that he raped a woman, stood up and shot her dead, you’re still not going to get 67 votes."

Bush Says He Wants to Let Clinton 'Move On'
"Listen, here's my view: I think it's time to get all of this business behind us. I think it's time ... to allow the president to finish his term, and let him move on and enjoy life and become an active participant in the American system. And I think we've had enough focus on the past. It's time to move forward." - George W. Bush.

Bush Won't Dwell On Clinton Affair, "We're Moving Forward"
"B/S, Mr Bush. Clinton is a criminal and a traitor. We demand a thorough investigation and prosecution. Our Republic is dead and our liberty is at stake if the next administration does not clean up this mess for now and forever more. Corrupt politicians must pay the price for subverting our Constitution and using their offices for personal gain."
