Flashback to 6/10/99:

“Texas Gov. George W. Bush said Tuesday that he would have voted to impeach President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. ‘I would have voted for it. I thought the man lied,’ he said.” (Via TalkLeft)

  2. Swet Urge says:

    Monica was hot, so sexy. I miss her.


  3. Sharon Cox says:

    No one died when Clinton screwed around, to date 2000 of our soldiers and a 100,000 Iraq citizens have died whild Bush continues to screw us all….Blessings


  4. Pete Bogs says:

    Lying is grounds for impeachment? Well, let’s get started! We can impeach Bush many times over.


  5. mparker says:

    IF a man that lied should be impeached what would be a fitting punishment for a man that lie’s every day knowing those lie’s cause the deaths of innocent human beings? Impeachment doesn’t pay the ferryman.

    Lets go King George. Your next up for the lying president thing.

    sharon -

    that 100,000 number you throw around, where did you get that from? From my understanding, the study pointed that between 8,000 – 200,000 Iraq’s were dead (to date, when the study was done) — I think it is more like 30,000 (iraqi body count) — too many, i agree, but that 100,000 just isnt correct.

    I am thinking maybe hypocrisy is one of those “values” the Repugnicans are always on about?

    ROY,

    Try this link. The british press covered this, even though it was an american survey team. The american press is very reluctant to cover this sort of information, because it doesn’t have ‘whitehouse approval’ apparently.

    roy – what does it matter? The bulk of that number isn’t combatants, it’s civilians. On that basis alone the number is way to high for us to be in a position “to win the hearts & minds of the Iraqi people”.

    Yorma once said – keep your lamps trimmed and burning. I think on those lines we need to keep our beverages chilled and at ready to crack when we get an early Fitzmas!

    This coming from a serial liar.
    The only time you can understand what George Bush says you find out it’s a lie. Does God tell him to lie? How does that work? Clinton can’t but George can because…
    1. it’s not about sex.
    2. He’s a republican.
    3. He thinks he’s telling the truth.
    4. His ear piece tells him to lie.
    5. His ear piece lies and he the dummy.
    6. All children lie.

    kindness,

    Did you see the survey conducted last week by the british military? Not only does it show a frightening 45% of Iraqis support the insurgency (and that rises to 65% in some areas) – but it showed something like 82% of iraqis are against the occupation! And 67% also felt they were ‘less safe’ under american occupation than under saddam, and 43% say the conditions for peace and stability have worsened. Continually this administration shows how to yank defeat from the jaws of victory!

    Those who ‘apologize’ for this ill conceived and even more ineptly executed war clearly don’t see that we’ve created an entire new generation of terrorists in Iraq, where there were next to none!

    It’s so easy to be moral and righteous when it’s not your ass on the line. Bush is nothing more than an immoral, self-centered rich kid who never grew up.
