You said:

Both Warner and Fred Thompson have something in common--they both voted against the impeachment of President Clinton.

Besides the atrocious grammar, your statement is half true. Thompson voted against impeachment of Clinton on Perjury. But Thompson voted to impeach Clinton on Obstruction of Justice.

Only one conviction is needed to remove.

Since Thompson voted for one out of two, you were half wrong. What's worse, you knew it.

You told a half truth and that makes you a liar.

Yes, you are right. I did not indicate that Thompson voted against convictionon the perjury charge. By the way I am sure you must have thought President Clinton did not commit perjury.

As to bad grammar. I don't know. Most posts are colloquial. As to knowing that he voted for conviction on the obstruction of justice charge, please note (if you did read my original post) that this fact was included in the post.

Regards

As I attempted to point out to the other poster, Thompson never had an opportunity to vote on whether or not to impeach Clinton on anything. That vote was taken in the House of Representatives. Thompson voted against conviction/removal on the perjury charge and voted for conviction/removal on the obstruction charge.
