<the republicans tried to get clinton because he slept around>

Sorry, but that's what I distilled out. You spent two paragraphs trying
to explain Clinton's crime as "he slept around, which is not a crime"
and one sentence on the theme below.

No, the republicans have been using ever possible dirt digging tactic they can
find since Clinton won in 1992.  This was just another attempt by the Elephant
heads to make a mountain out of a molehill to make themselves appear to be the
"moral" party.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

Granted that what you say is true(1), I'm just confining my remarks to
the question at hand. Whatever other sins That Man has (and there are
plenty), the question at hand turns on whether he is a perjurer. That's
the issue, and the fact that the elephantheads are bozos using it for
their own sick and twisted political ends does not detract from the
facts.

- He is a perjurer, proven so, and admitted so
- Perjury is a high crime
- High crimes are impeachable offenses
- The impeachment happened, there was a vote to go to trial.
- He was acquitted (that's the way the process works. you can be
admittedly guilty of the crime and still be acquitted. Working as
designed. I'm fine with that)
- so that particular impeachment is over and done with

leading me to the conclusion that we all should get over it. Yes,
Clinton got away with it. Better 10 guilty walk than one innocent is
unjustly punished. Even for presidents. Those calling for his head ought
to try to find something else, or give up already. Preferably the
latter.

Why are we arguing about this old news?

1 - the moral majority is neither, the elephants always try to get
jackasses (which true elephants will always deny), and the jackasses
always try to get elephants (which true jackasses will always deny)...
