Why did Nixon resign? Because he got his hand caught in the cookie jar and was forced to. Otherwise he wouldn't have.

You might think that Clinton was corrupt but nobody was able to pin anything on him directly. Remember he wasn't convicted of ANYTHING by a Republican congress other than lying under oath about a sexual affair. It had absolutely nothing to do with corruption. Or is your version of the judicial system that you are guilty until proven innocent?

ha ha ha. As usual you young liberals have emotions but zero facts. Clinton lied under oath to a federal grand jury. That is corruption and a felony. Come back when you have some facts, son.

Oh, yes it did! He and "his wife" intimidated everyone who came forward to tell the truth. The OLD MEDIA ignored them or trashed them. Just because the spineless Republicans didn't have the guts to stand up to the criminal doesn't mean he and his administration and mainly "his wife" weren't corrupt!

Maybe someone would like to tell us where the "lost" emails are, who hired Craig Livingstone, why the travel office employees were fired, why Vince Foster decided to commit suicide in a park, who hid the billing records and why, who used the IRS on their perceived enemies, who rifled through FBI files of Republicans, why Web Hubbell needed to "roll over one more time" while serving time in prison, why Susan McDougal decided prison was easier than telling the truth and why was she pardoned, who put Rose Law firm records in the back of an abandoned car which was found after a tornado in Arkansas, why no one in the OLD MEDIA had the guts to ask Bill Clinton if he raped Juanita Brodderick, how Ron Brown's plane crashed right before he was to testify in a case against the Clintons, why the Clintons seem to have so many corrupt "friends" who end up going to jail, ruined or dead, who sold our military secrets to China and why, why did they sell nights in the Lincoln bedroom for campaign cash (including members of the OLD MEDIA), how their relatives sold pardons, what happened at Waco which also killed innocent women and children, why Elian was shipped back to communist Cuba when his mother risked her life to bring him to America, what happened at Ruby Ridge, why Janet Reno blocked so many investigations, why Hillary can't seem to remember *hit under oath, etc., etc., etc.

Nixon resigned because he was told by House vote-counters that the impeachment forces had enough votes in the House, and he didn't want America to suffer through that.

14 convictions, including a sitting governor (Jim Guy Tucker), in the Whitewatergate scandal. You really think the Clintons were able to swim around in that septic tank and not get any @#$% on them? They were just Slick Willy-er than the MacDougalls et al. You sound like Bruce Cutler telling us what a great guy John Gotti was and how there's no such thing as La Cosa Nostra.

Remember he wasn't convicted of ANYTHING by a Republican congress other than lying under oath about a sexual affair. It had absolutely nothing to do with corruption.

To this microsecond it amazes me how people have such crippling myopia about the dangers of a president having extramarital affairs, especially a guy who doesn't just occasionally stray but just can't keep his pants on to save his life.

If you were a government unfriendly toward the United States and you knew the American president was a pathological philanderer, what way might you choose to infiltrate the White House? Do you remember the scandal with the Marines at the Moscow embassy back in the 1980's? The Russkies sent hookers to bed them down and then blackmail them into giving up embassy secrets via pillowtalk.

Screwing around with any skirt that walks by -- especially with so much on the line -- is the heart and soul of corruption. Who knows what Clinton may have given up to spies and moles among his legion of dalliances?

Or is your version of the judicial system that you are guilty until proven innocent?

Not this line again! Mr. Cutler your objection is overruled on account of your client, Mr. Gotti, being dead and stuff.

(Whereas the lefty line is that Republicans are guilty until proven even MORE guilty...)

I don't think Congress convicted Clinton of anything.

Why did Clinton have to surrender his law license? Why did he have to admit he lied under oath as part of his deal with Ray to avoid an indictment?

I'll wait.

Nixon resigned because he didn't want to compromise the Office of the President. Bill Clinton didn't care what he compromised.
