When the repubs nominate Patraus, all will be forgotten, even though what Clinton did will still be evil.

Are you talking about Gen. David Petraeus ? Are you kidding? Maybe you are stuck in the past thinking about the childish General "Betrayus" moveon.org ad. But in recent history, Petraeus's infidelity is a textbook example why it matters with people in power. It might have been used against him to get him to participate in the Obama's lie about Benghazi. After that what do you think his chances of even running for the Republican nomination are?
Several people may have given up more than they realized in the service of lying to protect Obama's re-election chances. I wonder how many didn't feel like they had a choice.
Crimes may have been committed in the cover up of Benghazi in which one person has given conflicting testimony to congress that can't be reconciled. But I doubt that the people so interested in going after Scooter Libby will be interested.

Hypocrisy relieves us of so many difficult responsibilities. A president covers up an attempt to steal political files and democrats call for his head. A president covers up a terrorist attack resulting in 4 American deaths and they call for his re-election.

Let's recall the story here, people. Nixon was not vilified for stealing political files. As has been pointed out through history, that was just a botched second-rate burglary. He resigned because he participated in a conspiracy to cover up the crime, which is a crime in itself. Few people think he had anything to do with the planning or carrying out of the break-in. Using the CIA to stop the FBI from investigating, paying hush money - these indictable felonies are what led to his downfall.
So far there is no concrete evidence of anyone covering up a crime in the Benghazi affair. Covering up a botched incident doesn't rise to the level of conspiracy to cover up a crime. Obama may get pilloried by the public if he did screw up, but so far there is absolutely no evidence of impeachable "high crimes and misdemeanors", as required by the Constitution. No one sought to impeach Johnson over the Gulf Of Tonkin incident, and no one lobbied for Reagan's impeachment over Iran-contra. Move along to the next RWNJ conspiracy, folks, there's nothing to see here.

The problem as I see it there are a majority of voters now on the receiving end while those paying (tax payers) are the minority. I really dont see anything changing until we, as a nation, hit rock bottom. With our debt situation the way it is were not too far away. To fix this problem I say if you dont pay taxes you dont get to vote. Maybe that way we might get some politicians in office who will fix the problem, if its not too late.

Tchsmath, yes you are correct. Not arguing that point. Just pointing out the attitude difference, which also carries over to the Clinton impeachment. Dems couldn't care less, as evidenced by the comment above. After all, it was only a horny dude. But as you point out, the crime was not the sex, it was the lies, the coverup. It's the hypocritical attitude.

All of them are flawed and you will never alter your views, not if you could continue to support one of the worst presidents this nation has ever had. 8-)

Roger you are still here? I thought you were no longer going to post on the forum. Something about not enough people looking at your photos? Glad to see you got over that and are still intelligently posting away. 8-)

Sheesh Roger, I was just trying to be friendly. Never like to see anyone leave, nor did I attack, nor would I ever attack your work. You were the one who said you weren't going to post anymore. Glad you changed your mind is all. 8-)

To Papayanirvana. Your post says it all. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. It was hysterical just for the listing of stupid things right wingers "think".
