The pubbies HAD the senate.

They also HAD the opportunity to rid our nation of Bill Clinton.

Wrong.

Read your constitution. It takes 2/3rds of the Senate to convict for impeachment. There was no way they were going to get 12 rat votes.

Yeah you're right.

It was alot easier for them to not even try.

I wonder what might have happened had the gop senators showed some leadership, and presented their case in front of the American People. I wonder.

It was pathetic. Don't make excuses for them.

About that impeachment thing.....had the Republican Senators not bent over and held their ankles for the Democrats and actually demanded (and they would have gotten by virtue of their majority) a trial enough pressure could have been brought to bear by the presentation of evidence to the public that it is quite likely there would ahve been an impeachment.

Funny now, about the only folks talking about their 'love' for the Pervert is his butt boys and party hacks.

But it was more important to Stand Down and Be Counted Against Elitist Crimes---every single one of the GOP Senators from then should be thrown out for breaking their oath of office. The exact same thing for the Democrats....instead, we get excuses.
