Black Friday
Posted on 02/12/2008 8:00:29 AM PST by boothead
On February 12, 1999 at 12:37 P.M., I hoisted a black flag over my house. This flag flew every day until tattered. Today is the 9th anniversary of Black Friday when 55 gelding senators voted not guilty of perjury for William Jefferson Clinton, and 50 gelding senators voted not guilty of obstruction of justice for the same cluck. This was one of the worse days of my life. I am now being ask by the National Republican Party to help fund some of these despicable senators to help beat back another Clinton. This is not going to happen. This group had a chance to rid the country of both Clintons on Black Friday, 1999. They need not look to me now for money or vote to extract them from their own folly. It is a shame to have a candidate, who nobody wants, rammed down our throats. Remember The Alamo, Remember Pearl Harbor, but most of all Remember Black Friday February 12, 1999.

The new flag of revolt should be a black flag with a tea kettle.

Ten Republicans voted with all 45 Democrats to reject the perjury charge and five GOP senators voted against the obstruction of justice claim, denying both articles of impeachment a simple majority in the 100-member Senate.
Republican Sens. Richard Shelby of Alabama, Ted Stevens of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Olympia Snowe of Maine, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, John Chafee of Rhode Island, Fred Thompson of Tennessee, Jim Jeffords of Vermont, John Warner of Virginia and Slade Gorton of Washington all voted against the perjury article.
Collins, Snowe, Specter, Chafee and Jeffords also rejected the obstruction of justice article.

I have not forgotten.
Remember Trent Lott and Ted Stevens. They are particularly worthy of blame.

I am not a McCain fan, but if I remember right—I think he voted guilty on both counts.

In my layman’s humble opinion, they screwed up by not charging him with a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Remember, if you will, the bill was amended in the 11th hour to protect women in courts.
