Congratulations! It was five years ago today the House of Representatives impeached President William Jefferson Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice.
Those brave representatives survived an all-out war of political brinksmanship which included public threats of retaliation and private threats to bring down the government if Clinton was impeached.
James Carville threatened Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr with "kneecapping;" Alec Baldwin called for the murder of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde; George Stephanopoulos passed along the threat to employ the "Ellen Romesch defense"--a public blackmailing of Congress; Hillary Clinton said on the Today Show that those plotting against her husband "would have alot to answer for" when this was done; Paula Jones was called "trailer trash" and worse for simply seeking justice and an apology; Linda Tripp had her reputation destroyed by a conspiracy of Clinton administration officials and media operatives. Even Monica Lewinsky feared for her life and kept the infamous blue dress stained with presidue for insurance.
Thank God that people like Linda Tripp stood tall and refused to back down in their determination to see that a president of the United States could not commit felonies in office with impunity.
And thank God for people like Jim Robinson, Bob Barr, Gary Aldrich, Alan Keyes, Larry Klayman, Lucianne Goldberg, Billy Dale and all the rest who spoke at, organized and attended Free Republic's nationally televised rally supporting Clinton's impeachment on October 31, 1998.
You done good! Impeachment is forever. You can be proud that in America's hour of need, you answered the call to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

A day of mourning more like - mourning that the sociopath got away clean and that the "good guys" cared more about opinion polls than doing the right thing.
My respect for the DC Chapter is immense.
Ummm, perhaps my mistake, but at 75, you said ...
How this man can walk around so smug and have groupies still at his feet, is amazing. Talk about a double standard. Remember what happened to the last Republican who was impeached. Disgraced for life.
The only US Presidents who have been impeached are Andrew Johnson (Senate trial in 1868) and Billy Clinton. Johnson was not a member of the Republican party. So, I assumed you meant Nixon when you wrote "... the last Republican who was impeached. Disgraced for life."
Judicial Watch is still on the job.
The Peter Paul case is on-going and
could cook Hillary's goose!

Clinton GAVE the Chinese the technology...He will only be REMEMBERED for it if something REALLY bad occurs because of it.
That is what I pray does not happen.
