Obama’s mission, if he accepts it, is to be a bigger disgrace to the nation than Bubba Bill BJ Clinton. I say—Yes, he can.

And a few years ago, the stupid hick proclaimed that the impeachment was "sort of" a "badge of honor."
This is the raw sewage that the CRAT party rams down our throat. Not to mention that party from Hell's latest obamanation that they have thrust down America's throat.
We managed to survive this damned idiot from Arkansas. We may not survive this one that seems to think he is the messaiah with some many millions of (unfortunately voting morons swallowing his lies and head fakes whole) my Patriot brothers and sisters. Get ready. We are in for the fight of our lives. :((
It's a republic, Ma'am, if you can keep it." We will have to fight for it or we will lose it. Since the idiots elected this MONSTER, we will have to fight every day for our freedoms. The OBSCENELY ARROGANT BASTARD will destroy some of them and, if we are lucky, we will retain some.
I can't emphasize enough. We are on the threshold of this obscenely arrogant bastard making us his servants.

If hed been convicted, let us remember, Gore would have become president, and would be president today.
Not necessarily. While Gore might have won the 2000 election, presuming the attacks of 9/11 took place right on schedule, the public (and I believe the Congress) would very likely have demanded the impeachment of Gore as well, after knowledge of how his vaunted 'airport/airline security commission' recommendations were watered down after the airline lobby squawked about the 'cost' of such security enhancements, AND after they made a substantial contribution to the DNC. That right there is bribery, and had Gore been President after taking that bribe and 3000+ Americans smoked by al Qaeda on 9/11, he would be lucky to escape the damn firing squad, in my not-so-humble opinion.
We would then have ended up with President Joe Lieberman, who I daresay would have prosecuted the war on terror with much greater vigor, although his domestic policies would have been classic liberal-left 'Rat.

I don't fault Lott for shutting down the process. It was in a no-win situation at that point and he was doing his best to protect the party from the mounting backlash.
Oh horsesh*t. Trent Lott wasn't worried about the mounting backlash, he's always been for Lott first, last and always. Lott has a spine of jiggly Jello (that was confirmed years later as we all witnessed his embarrassing groveling and pathetic 'apologies' on B.E.T.), all Lott had to do was to figure out a way to get the data contained in the Senate evidence room out into the public arena ('oops, looks like somebody LEAKED, gosh fellas, you know how that can happen in Washington'), and EVERYONE would have been demanding conviction in the Senate, because if any President of the 20th century was worthy of impeachment AND conviction/removal from office, it was the depraved Emperor Billigula, and Trent Lott screwed the pooch when it came to leading the Senate and getting Clinton convicted.

It would have been, but in reality all we learned is that Dems keep working after impeachment, and Repubs cave and leave on threat of same! As long as that ‘perception’ exists, crooks will chose to be Dems!

“Bendsa” Lott, McLame, none hold a candle to Rep. McCollum who gave the country hope for a while! Still a hero doing good in FL.

The ENTIRE sewer that is the current Repub 'party' AND Dem 'party' is the result of "Bendsa" Lott throwing the Republican Party at the time (the House of Representatives) under the bus.

So it appears! The Office of the President! Clinton's Legacy has changed that to President of the Whitehouse for 4 years.

Look at the bright side....we have no more Crat friends to suffer! Tho’ once and again a Jewish Crat ex-friend or two come over to ‘congratulate’ me on their Messiah’s victory. Just seems so easy for them to be obnoxious in the extreme! Why my wife opens the door to them is beyond me!

I’m sure McLame looks up to “Bendsa” Lott for his “How to be a Republican Senate ‘Leader’ for dummies” instruction book...Tho’ “Bendsa” Dole may have written an early abstract. Explains why no Republican Senator this Century has ever been President, nor should any Senator ever be president for that matter. The Senate is NOT conducive to developing Leaders.

Possibly, but they should never leave alone his raping a woman. He should be behind bars for that.
I will never forget or forgive for that.

We went from heaven to hell in ten years. No, not because Clinton did anything right. Because our side did everything wrong, with the exception of preventing any repeats of 9-11. For that, I’ll be eternally grateful.
