Kaz,

I'd have to disagree with you on this. Clinton got impeached because he broke the law. He was testifying under oath, and lied. If you or I do that, we would be in big trouble. He was proved to have commited a crime.

Any president proven to have commited a crime no matter how big or small should get tossed. We need to hold our leaders to at least the standard that they not be criminals.

I forget the VP, but he got tossed for failing to pay all of his taxes. I don't care if he cheated on his wife and I don't care about him being a Dem, I care about him trying to be above the laws we all have to live by.

I don't doubt other politicians have broke the law, but Clinton got caught red handed, and others can at least maintain their innocence unless evidence is presented.

I think the reason the impeachment was so unpopular (and incidentally Clinton found innocent) is that the general population was of the opinion that he should have never BEEN in the position where he should be testifying under oath.  It was a rediculous position for him to be thrust in.

Granted, he did not handle the situation gracefully, but whatever.  That issue is long past.  I am more concerned with the questionable legality of the current president's actions along with the overstepping and abuse of power being done.

All in all I have been sick of both parties for quite some time.  South Park certainly hit the nail on the head.
