Bill Clinton should have resigned
Vox ^ | November 15, 2017 | Matthew Yglesias

Posted on 11/15/2017 8:49:16 AM PST by C19fan

Many years ago, when I was a high school student making my first visit to Washington for a two-week summer camp for weird politics dorks, the dominant news story was then-President Bill Clinton’s August 17, 1998, admission that despite earlier denials, he “did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate.”

“In fact,” Clinton conceded, “it was wrong,” and it “constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.”

What Moore is smeared with can’t hold a candle to Clinton. We were told that with Clinton it was personal and doesnt matter. We agree.

They’re trying to set the stage to force Trump to resign. This has nothing to do with anything else

After reading this article, I think it’s time that things start dropping on McTurtle, Ryan, McCain, Schumer, and the rest of the crooks...

Don’t you think they have taken enough of our money and freedoms away by now to remove them into the garbage can???

When people start reading about how foul and dishonest these crooks are then maybe, just maybe they will wake up and realize we have a Nation to save and Our President can’t do it alone...

That is the purpose for this entire narrative. They are willing to smear Bill Clinton, various Kennedy offenders, and the rest, for a chance to take out President Trump. They have to. "Russia" failed, so they need a new angle.

Bill Clinton should not have been elected, he was already well known as a womanizer.

Trent Lott and the Gutless Obsequious Pussies in the Senate were never going to convict and remove.
They refused to even hold a full trial.

I have from time to time argued that if Clinton had resigned on January 21, 1999, President Gore would have been elected as the incumbent in 2000, since he would have had enough oomph from the office to beat GWB. Gore would therefore have been in office on 9/11, and would have been supported by the media, the Democrats in Congress, and all RINOs (which would be almost all the Republicans in Congress) for any actions he took as a result, and re-elected in 2004. He would have become the 21st century FDR, with his never-divorcing wife Tipper becoming the 21st century Eleanor, and the Democrats would have been safely in control of the Federal government for at least another generation, if not 2-3 generations.

Bill Clinton’s unwillingness to put his party ahead of himself has led to two things: the takeover of the Dems by the ultrasocialists, and Trump. The result will be, unless the GOP commits suicide (which is not unthinkable), the essential end of the Democratic Party as a viable institution to run the government.

He sexually harassed the intern. If a CEO says “you look nice” to a woman he’s fired. Could be MBA making the company 100 billion a year. Doesn’t matter.
Clinton was protected by all the ass$wholes on the left.

“Bill Clinton should have resigned”

Lots of things Bill Clinton “should have” done.

The DemonCraps think that only Republicans can be smeared with sex.

They have been vaccinated against it.

As President Trump has revealed, the US Senate is a single party institution.

There are a few independent conservatives who have the "Republican" label, but the rest of them are all Globalist Uniparty.

Wasn’t Moore a Democrat when he is alleged to have done these things?

I would bet old leftist Matty has dozens of articles saying the opposite, and defending democrat bad behavior.

That is what Rush is talking about.

He also just said that the restaurant where Moore "supposedly" drove the girl to "assault" her - has no parking in the back.

Can we get a retroactive resignation from Slick, so the Democrats may go forth with a clear conscience?

Right now, they have a nagging feeling that they do not occupy the moral high ground, and with a great deal of controversy surrounding Robert Menendez, they are in a little bit of a quandary.

Then there is that so far uncertain investigation into the circumstances leading to the Las Vegas shooting spree. That all ties back to the Uranium-One expose, which is being most desperately bottled up by people in high positions within the Deep State.

I guess somebody did not check all their facts before making it all up.
