That was not the point of my post. It was to show that you didn't
understand what impeachment meant. Unfortunately it went right over your head. Main Entry: 1im·peach Pronunciation: im-'pEch Function: transitive verb Etymology: Middle English empechen, from Middle French empeechier to hinder, from Late Latin impedicare to fetter, from Latin in- + pedica fetter, from ped-, pes foot -- more at FOOT 1 a : to bring an accusation against b : to charge with a crime or misdemeanor; specifically : to charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misconduct in office wrote in message ink.net... And so the news says he was impeached... The news also said he was acquitted... Lets see, acquittal, means he was found not guilty. That was verified by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court: "It is therefore ordered and adjudged that William Jefferson Clinton be and hereby is acquitted of the charges in the said articles," declared Chief Justice William Rehnquist in the Senate chamber. Sorry, you were outvoted by the United States Senate, you were also called a liar by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Get over it, Clinton was found INNOCENT by a jury of his peers. "John Smith" wrote in message news:_Ffpc.3425$gr.255065@attbi_s52... The New York Times, December 20, 1998, p. A1, col. 6 CLINTON IMPEACHED _____ HE FACES A SENATE TRIAL, 2D IN HISTORY; VOWS TO DO JOB TILL TERM'S 'LAST HOUR' By ALISON MITCHELL WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 - William Jefferson Clinton was impeached on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice today by a divided House of Representatives, which recommended virtually along party lines that the Senate remove the nation's 42d President from office. A few hours after the vote, Mr. Clinton, surrounded by Democrats, walked onto the South Lawn of the White House, his wife, Hillary, on his arm, to pre-empt calls for his resignation. The man who in better days had debated where he would stand in the pantheon of American Presidents said he would stay in office and vowed "to go on from here to rise above the rancor, to overcome the pain and division, to be a repairer of the breach." Later, Mr. Clinton called off the bombing in Iraq, declaring the mission accomplished. Mr. Clinton became only the second President in history to be impeached, in a stunning day that also brought the resignation of the incoming Speaker of the House, Robert L. Livingston. wrote in message nk.net... He was charged, he was not convicted. With no conviction he is innocent. Sorry but your impeachment song doesn't play any longer |

And with a really good chance now that their dumb boy Bush will lose the election (beyond fixing it), we've only begin to see their bile. Poor Jackoff. Jack, It looks like you have gotten the best of Harry. You can always see when he starts his diatribe concerning the "right wing". |

LOL, he was impeached. Accept it..
wrote in message ink.net... im·peach (m-pch) tr.v. im·peached, im·peach·ing, im·peach·es 1.. 1.. To make an accusation against. 2.. To charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal. I see nothing in this definition that says he is guilty of anything... It mearly says to make an accusation... The accusation was proven false. "Jack Goff" wrote in message . com... wrote: Get over it, Clinton was found INNOCENT by a jury of his peers. So was OJ. But get over it already, Clinton was IMPEACHED. Look up the meaning, and have a 10 year old explain it to you. Spin it all you want, but he was IMPEACHED. He *was* IMPEACHED. Get it yet?

That there are many reasons an acquittal can be reached, and true *innocence* of the charge levied is only one of them? Excuse me, but not in this country. In this country, you are *innocent* until *proven* guilty. Not if you're a Patriot (with a capital "P"), like Jack. By almost all rational criteria, our country is in far worse shape than it was before Bush assumed office. We're mired in a trumped-up war, with hundreds of American soldiers dead. The budget deficit is through the roof. Civil liberties are under attack. Our standing in the world has fallen. Anti pollution regs have been softened. Workers rights have diminished. And the list goes on and on and on. We have an affable idiot in the white house now. We deserve better. |

If Clinton had told the truth he wouldn't have been impeached. Bull****. The rabid Republicans in the House were out for blood. |

Again, charges mean nothing if they are unable to convict...

Hehe... is there really any possibility now that Doug is carrying a full 6-pack? What a dim-wit... too funny. Maybe Harry will come around and circle-jerk you to make you feel better. In the meantime... has anyone offered GW Bin Laden's head on a platter? Answer: NO. Did anyone offer Clinton Bid Laden's head on a platter? Answer: YES Now go away and come back when you're all grown up. Jack |
