He voted yes on one of two impeachment articles. Only one passing would have sufficed to remove Clinton, and the one he voted against had the lower vote total anyway. And I read his reasoning and it was sound - the article was poorly drafted, blame the House Judiciary.
So, like so many others, you omitted the detail that Fred DID vote for one of the articles, and had that passed, Clinton was gone.
As Orwell noted, omission is the most powerful form of lie. Which spinners like you prove all the time with this particular line of attack on Fred.
Oh, and even though I seriously dislike McCain, I voted for him. The point is, these fights went down in the primary, and Rudy got all of one delegate, so it was a moot point. So take an hour and work on your next strawman.
I have to say when I listened to Fred attempting to justify his "no" vote, I couldn't really follow his reasoning. He was obviously trying to have it both ways to preserve his political viability and claim he voted "no" before he voted "yes" on impeachment. What a profile in courage.
I always wanted Thompson to run for President and was really surprised when he wussed out of the Senate and went back to Hollywood after the Democrats concentrated their smear machine on him.
I also have to say both campaigns were equally lame, but it didn't matter, the media and the Democrats wanted to run against McCain so they trivialized and belittled Thompson and trashed Jerry. They used a media blackout against Giuliani. And they got McCain.
You and your little chorus of malcontents can do the Democrats bidding all you want, Giuliani was the only one they feared...and rightly so.
