“got much of what he wanted at a big price, and here we are. Looking back impeachment was not thought out politically either”
The problem with impeachment was that it was thrust upon most of Congress, they didn’t have the courage to stop it nor the stomach to see it through. President Clinton committed much more grievous offenses (that impacted on national security) that what he was formally charged with (this was similar to a tax charge against Capone). I see the collective behavior of this country as much like an addictive personality, our behavior is destructive and will lead to the demise of the Republic unless we change our behavior.
It was ironic that the impeachent charges stemmed out of Clinton-Boxer-Murray men don't get it 1992, feminist prize, Biden's Violence against Women's act, designed to hurt men, removing due process(chargers can fish around for dirt that becomes public.) Others were punished for lying under oath after being sued , lied for privacy in personal matters. Liberals loved VAWA as long as republicans like Thomas would get hung. But Clinton turned it around and got men's sympathy, who related to him.
