"Clinton did the dishonorable thing and put himself above the interests of the country and sweated it out and wasted a year of the country's time and efforts."

That may be true, but Clinton being the ultimate poll watcher did not feel the need to resign since the majority of the public didn't have a problem with it. Besides, didn't the impeachment managers in the House loose their next election? Asa Hutchinson comes to mind and I believe Henry Hyde.

Clinton also figured he would win the support of the Dems. Even Sen. Liberman, who had a problem with what Clinton did, did not vote to toss Clinton out of office. Whereas Nixon knew that many Republicans wouldn't support him. So he knew he would have lost his battle and therefore spared himself the humiliation.

Maybe you feel that breaking into an office for political advantage and covering it up is good government and a valid way of doing things.

Evidently your hero, Mr. Felt, feels that way; that is what HE was convicted of.

[plain talk]

yeah, a calculating slime. It was all about Bill Clinton. As I said, Nixon did the honorable thing for the country while Clinton raped the country and then asked us to put some ice on it.

Thanks but no time for chat.

Henry Hyde did not lose his election. Most of the impeachment managers were, in fact, re-elected, and many still serve in Congress.

There was no one happier than I when Nixon resigned. I considered him a villain. I was a democrat at that time, and foolishly believed that what the media told me was true.

Thirty years of experience have taught me that a great deal about what we were told about Nixon was exagerration and fabrication. Did he break the law? Yes. Did he resign? Yes. You can speculate about his motives, but the fact is that he resigned to spare himself, his family, and the country an impeachment trial.

Bill Clinton didn't have that much consideration.
