To: no dems
The GOP had control of the Senate and couldn't even convict the impeached Bill Clinton.

Funny that you don't blame the 100% of the democrats in the Senate who blocked impeachment, or haven't you read the the Constitution where it states that the Senate needs a 2/3rds vote to convict.

Let me jump in on that question.

The dems voted along party lines to acquit and they deserve our scorn. But it was the Republicans who failed to take the proceedings seriously that gave the dems the political cover that they needed to hold fast for clinton. Perhaps, just perhaps, if they did, the outcome would have been different. Can you imagine if they actually listened to witnesses and looked at evidence?

Thank you, Trent Lott and Rick Santorum.
