Cause it's not actually their money, it's the money of those who have been courted by said politician.

First Clinton is impeached, and now Bush has committed impeachable acts and may (probably not, though) be impeached...what the hell is wrong with Americans for electing these politicians? Not only that, but look at all the scandals...and you know what the problem is? It's the fact that politics has become a career for people...it's become about which group can promise enough to a certain group to win enough votes and stay in power. Republicans and democrats have no TRUE idealogy...and that's why we have sleezebags in office.

/Rant.

First off, you are going with the assumption that Clinton was flawed. Considering the past leaders of this country and their promescuity, I don't think a BJ should have been grounds for any type of investigation. It was a travesty that the impeachment process was used in the first place. Yes, he lied under oath. Yes, that is wrong. No, he should not have been investigated and he certainly shouldn't have been impeached.

The Rs of the 90's utilized the most serious tool to remove an abusive executive that this country has as a politican assasination tool. The blatant manipulation is despicable.

Bush, however, has comitted crimes against the Constitution and much more serious laws. I think investigations will uncover rampant abuse of power and a deception of truth greater than anything this country has ever faced. If, in fact, this is true, he should undoubtedly be impeached.

I would agree that Americans are too reactionary and the pendulum swings too far.

What crime did Bush commite? You guys say this over and over but can not name the law or show any evidence of proof.

"He lied about he war" etc etc You can't even prove that he actually lied.

All the wishing in the world will not turn up a crime, but keep working on it.

We know O.J. killed his wife... evidence against criminals is hard. When enough circumstantial evidence comes together.. or in this case, overwhelming circumstantial evidence... it is enough for a reasonable person to see the truth.

Trust me, if investigations went/go forward, there will be PLENTY of evidence... what would you say then?

No but a congressional investigation with all the resources it has at it's disposal kjust might turn up a crime. I can't "prove" you not a professor, but I highly doubt it. If I had the power of a congressional investigation it would only take minutes to find out, one way or the other.


Hey, we still have 2 years to impeach Bush, how long did it take for them to get something on Clinton?? LMAO.

Funding for the war did not come from the President?
