I'm well aware he was impeached.  I watched it unfold with everyone else.  

What he said while committing perjury is immaterial.  He wasn't impeached for sleeping around. It was completely avoidable. 

It wasn't avoidable. People were going to put him to task no matter what happened or what was said.

Not via impeachment.  I'm sorry but that is a distortion of history. He committed perjury (yes, in relation about an affair but that again is immaterial as it could have been about anything) and that is what got him impeached. 

If your argument is people were all over him about his personal woman troubles than yes you are correct.  This election could be quite the dejavu but he was impeached and it was very avoidable if he had simply told the truth under oath. Of course that is easier said than done since we are not in the same situation as he was but it is still the truth. 

 

Edit: back to the original point.  The poster was correct. Back then people who supported him suggested personal issues don't impede governing ability and we should focus on policy.  His detractors argued his personal flaws (as they saw them) would impede his ability to govern. In the end the public disagreed and he survived.  

Here we are again with roles reversed with both political sides swapping opinions on personal flaws and their impediments on governing.
