2. He'll never be impeached.
Too many people think he's the voice of God.

5. Most of these aren't constitutional issues...
Murdering the pope might be considered a "high crime" but then again, maybe not... all the others are "lifestyle" issues or policy decisions (pardoning Saddam). Again, Clinton wasn't impeached for the oral sex, but for charges of lying about it and conspiring to have others lie about it.

I'd think knowingly putting citizens in harm's way through inaction on 9/11, or perjuring himself before congress regarding the reasons for going to war should be enough. But, he managed to get congress to write him a blank check to go to war, so he'd probably get off the hook then.

Impeachment is a pipe dream...

8. Won't happen
He could be filmed doing all of the above on the White House lawn with the Supreme Court in attendance, AND comitting serial bestialty with Barney, sheep, exploding whales, and yaks.

"Nothing here - Clinton made me do it, God told me it's all part of becoming a fulfilled Christian."

12. At first I was going to say #2. But he would just say he was giving mouth
to mouth to try to revive dead woman.
For the live boy - I can't think of a good excuse - but you can sure bet he could.

21. I may be wrong but I don't think the pugs had majorities in
the house and Senate when they initiated impeachment proceedings against Clinton. They DEFINITELY were not the majority when they initiated all the investigations. They were after Clinton the day he was inaugurated.

The Dems had more than enough on Bush but were more concerned about "healing" a "wounded" nation following a moderately contested election. I say the 2000 election was moderately contested because again the Dems were more concerned about appearance and instead of encouraging huge demonstrations they told various parties to stay away. When the Congressional Black Caucus wanted to stand in opposition to certifying the election there was not one Dem who supported them. Do you think the pugs would have been interested in "healing" had the 2000 election turned in Gore's favor? I DON'T THINK SO!

What the Republicans were is an EFFECTIVE OPPOSITION party. They stayed on message. Of course they have a lot of help delivering their message but to have all of those outlets stay on message is quite a feat.

IMHO, The reason I think they are able to stay on message so well is because they could care less what the Dems think of them. They don't run with the Democrats in mind. They know who their base is and THAT is who they cater to.

18. None of it...
he will never be impeached because like pat robertson said. "He could make some really BIG mistakes (I guess.... not like the ones he has already made) and he will be picked up by God because he is a man of prayer."

He can do AYTHING and it will be alright.

20. An opposition party willing to
initiate impeachment proceedings. The Dems have GOT to stop worrying about what the Republicans think of them and get on with being a true opposition party.

24. He could f*** a sheep on nat'l TV and not get impeached
Besides, as I said before, they don't have to impeach him. They can "ask him to resign for the good of the country." And if he doesn't resign, his party will send him all sorts of neat bills, like mandatory abortion for single military females tucked into the Defense Department's budget...the kind of bills where he's damned if he signs them and damned if he doesn't.

26. For him to change his name to "Bill Clinton"?
For him to change his party affiliation to "Democrat"?

Otherwise, I have no idea. If I were Empress-Elect of the World, he would have gone down for high crimes and misdemeanours already!
