We shouldn't let them get the chance, but I'll tell you what impeachment against Clinton got us. A huge blowback where we nearly lost Congress.

President Bush wouldn't be convicted in the Senate any more than Clinton would.

It's a sad day in American history if we get to the point where every time a party holding the majority in the House feels compelled to impeach a President of the other party.

The Republicans failed to offer a simple message: We'd rather have Clinton as a lame-duck president than have to run against an incumbent Al Gore in 2000. But it doesn't matter that leaving Clinton in office would be better for us politically than removing him. If it turns out he committed acts worthy of removal from office, we will be duty-bound to remove him even though we'd rather not.

How could the Democrats have responded to that?

It's a testament to show how sad the voting population is and how ill informed most people are.
