Seems like a good decision...after all, if the way the right wing went after Clinton is any example, you'd want to make their job a LOT tougher if you plan on getting anything done.

Dell...why was Ken Starr assigned as a special prosecutor? What did he find for what he was hired to look into (answer-nothing)...how come he began investigating things that had nothing to do with what he was originally hired to investigate?But who's fault was it that the 'vast right wing conspiracy' went after the best president ever?![]()
And then there was an impeachment.
Now - if that a vast right wing consipiracy, what is?
Too many loose ends there KC.....more than Palin will ever have....![]()
So why then was the greatest president ever impeached?
JESUS dell,
KCFlyer is "TRYING" to tell you why.
Because of a vast RIGHT WING Conspiracy, using the GOP controlled US House of Reps. !!!!!!
(I'm sure you remember THAT it went NO WHERE in the Senate...................Don't you) ???????
dell,
Close only counts in Horse Shoes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(SORRY buddy, ...But it IS what it IS)
Upon the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228-206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221-212 vote). Two other articles of impeachment failed — a second count of perjury in the Jones case (by a 205-229 vote) and one accusing Clinton of abuse of power (by a 148-285 vote). Four Republicans opposed all four articles, while five Democrats voted for at least one of them. Upon passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton became the first elected U.S. president and the second U.S. president to be impeached, following Andrew Johnson in 1868. (In 1974, Richard Nixon resigned the Presidency before the House impeachment vote.)

Apparently because he lied about a blowjob that was investigated because of a real estate deal. I'm still trying to figure out how the two were connected enough that a special prosecutor that was hired to investigate a real estate deal ended up investigating a blowjob that involved no parties from the real estate deal. You have to admit that Starr was more of a special persecutor than prosecutor.Too many loose ends there KC.....more than Palin will ever have....![]()

Some Connecticut Democrats believe Sen. Joe Lieberman's colleagues in Washington let him off the hook for backing John McCain, and say it's time for them to consider a possible censure by the state party.
Yes, there HAVE been investigations for years. But...in the case of Clinton, all one had to do was post an article (no need to substantiate, just post it) in the American Spectator and Ken Starr was on the case. Hey...I had no problem with Starr "investigating" Whitewater...nothing was found. My question is - why were taxpayers paying this guys salary after the results of his investigation were complete and no wrong was found? When did "special persecutor" become a full time staff position? Getting back on topic, given what the republicans did to Clinton for 8 years, it only behooves Obama to get any skeletons before the GOP does.Funny...I don't have recollections of anything like Clinton back to Dwight D....sure,there's been investigations into every admin pretty much....but a guy like him comes along with all that baggage and you guys act surprised.What was it...how you said about Sarah?? Someone hadn't properly vetted her??![]()

Tell me then...how many of Starr's investigations were warranted? After Whitewater, why did the guy still have a job. If we had a "special prosecutor" that was impaneled January 21, 2001, what kind of dirt could we have dug up on Bush?And I bet you wonder why they called him 'Slick Willie'.
