The article is pretty accurate. Impeaching Clinton probably did more damage to the Republicans than it did to Clinton, which is to the entire country’s everlasting shame. The same would be true if we tried it with Zero.
And why did it cause more damage? Because the media portrayed it as a right wing religious kook moral witch hunt. The major problem in this nation is that all the means of addressing the public are in the hands of people who are all Union and 95% Democrats from Big Cities (Los Angeles and New York) with a liberal bent from cradle to grave.
Conservatives cannot get a fair treatment until these people are gone. For years i've said Republicans need to file lawsuits against the media on two fronts. Ideological Discrimination, requiring an Affirmative Action hiring quotas for conservatives in media, and Federal Election law Campaign contribution violations; The Value of Media contributions to liberal candidates which pretends to be news.
Hit these bastards in their pocketbooks and keep making them pay till they can't afford it anymore, and the media will change. Thereafter politics will start getting straightened out.
