Personally I think a president should be able to get a blow job to releive the stress of a hard day, but perjusry is another thing.  There are many people in prison for lying to a Grand jury.

And that's where Bubba belongs.  As far as democrats thinking he was impeached for sex?  The operative word in that last sentence was 'thinking', or in this case, the lack of.\nLet me quote Winston Churchill when asked his opinion between liberals and conservatives.  This may not be word for word, and I quote:  "If you're twenty years old and not a liberal, you have no heart.  If you're forty years old and not a conservative, you have no brain."

yes, because being accused of something like that can ruin your life. you can lose you job, your friends, your family, even your freedom. and if it is done just to get back at you or whatever reason that person had, they should pay for it! however it is difficult to prove they are lying. sometimes people don't get convicted when they did rape someone just because there wasn't enough evidence so the accuser should not be punished then.

This must be new, haven't heard of this yet.  1st amendment is the reason why.  Shoot, Mr Cheney told a senator to go f*&^ himself in the senate house, balls being met with balls is OK in my book.  I admit it, I like Cheney, alot more politicians should be told to go f#%$# themselves.

No it's probably time for a rational review of drug laws. But don't count on our politicians to propose changes. They can't be seen as "soft on crime". Better to build more jails and get reelected than to solve our society's problems.

Repuglicans are all about making a buck, that is why they also over look the corruption and perversion in their party. If somebody can make a few bucks glory to them. This is one democrat that does not think that OJ is innocent. But the jury thought that the prosecutor didn't prove the case and that is really all that matters.

ahhhh HA HA HA HA HA.... He is a perfect example of what not to do while in the white house. Maybe he should be sent to Iraq, since he can almost kill a man without any jail time!

He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident ---- the popular belief at the time was that he and his friend, Mary Jo, were drunk and driving home together - he lost his way and plunged into the water ---he was able to swim to safety - Mary Jo could not-  The scandal lingered because (1) he left the scene and did not appear in public until the next day (when any alcohol, if any, would have been gone from his system); and (2) he was a US Senator and married, and he was coming home late with a co-worker, a single female, presumably from a party.  I think only the Senator knows what truly happened that night - it was a tragic accident - whether or not there was addtitional wrongdoing (e.g. driving under the influence and involuntary manslaughter) will be taken to the grave by the Senator --- The accident certainly took a toll on his family life and certainly his presidential ambitions. Given the many many years of faithful and extremely productive service he has given this country, I believe the scales of history will tip in his favor when history looks at him. Remember to err is human ..to forgive ....certainly not Republican.

if a leader is not doing their job, they need to be replaced, not respected.  i don't really understand how respecting a bad president would make them any better.

I think Pres. Bush needs all of the vacation time possible. If we were wasting trillons of American dollars, making a total political mess of American government, and trying to become a global hegemon (look it up), we would be begging for vacation time, too.

Rapist should be made to receive a little of their own medicine.  Call it barbaric, but I think a large nightstick up their rectum will make them think twice before raping someone else.

Impeachment and conviction in the senate are a matter of actual criminal activity, and not just because someone has a difference of opinion in how things should have been handled.  Get a grip!\n\nSue

Isn't it always a good idea to put self-admitted criminals on trial?\n\nDoes the US stand to gain anything by allowing someone to admit to breaking the law, and then not even put them on trial because they claim (without any legal support) that their position entitles them to break the law at will?\n\nIf Bush is put on trial (impeached = trial) and found not guilty, so be it. But not even putting him on trial sends the wrong message. It tells the world that the US doesn't care about the rule of law, and that we allow those in power to break the law at will.\n\nHardly a justification for the US claim to depose other dictators.

A sitting President is effectively immune from criminal prosecution or civil liability.  However if the evidence was particularly damning, then the president would likely be impeached and then afterwards brought up on criminal charges.\n\nOnly one president has quit and none has been actually removed from office by Congressional action.  \n\nThere are a lot of nasty things the President has to authorize (directly or indirectly) in order to protect the country.  Many of these, while heinous, are not actually illegal -- and, in fact, lying to the American public is actually a job requirement.  \n\nJust take a look at the people here on Yahoo Answers and you'll see why most Americans need to be lied to.  They not only can't handle the truth; they prefer comforting lies.

He is not the greatest President ever. I wouldn't put him in that category. And just because the media is bringing up stories of controversy doesn't mean anything. There are controversies in every presidency, not just this one. And the Bush administration is not abusing power. FDR did it. Clinton did it. (as for as the "spying")There is no abuse of power. Our government is made of checks and balances and just because he's the president does not make him all powerful. It's crazy how people get the picture that just because someone is the President they're allowed to be a loose canon without restraint and then answer later for actions.

There is a lot of undetected corruption with in society, some of which affects the general public. It is us that have to give up our time and energy for this system so when there is a serious problem that effects us then yes whistle blowing is necessary. Its people like the person u have mentioned that allow us to know what is really going on and lets us know how much the government is full of shit.

Cheney's friend did not die, the same can not be said for Mary Joe Kapekne.  Before you go and say that was so long ago do not forget the rape case in the Kennedy coumpound in West Palm Beach, and just recently another Kennedy was popped driving under the influence and was given the same preferential treatment as good old Teddy. Let's not forget Jefferson who accepted a $100,000 bribe then gets upset because the FBI searched his office as part of the investigation. What Clinton did (&^%*# an intern) would have gotten any CEO of a US company fired, but nothing was done for that (remember the empeachment was for lying to the Grand Jury under oath). Another Dem smacks a security guard because he asked her for I.D... Let's face it ALL politicians get preferential treatment. That's the problem, if you want to say the other side gets more preferential treatment I could go on. If I really have to go on, there is just no sense of doing so.

Thanks Professor Adam, I agree with Jerry Seinfeld's analogy myself, it's really brilliant actually. The Dictatorship is coming to a close in November, and Democracy will once again reign in America whether the Republicans like it or not. I think they act like 2nd grade children most of the time being bully's. Life doesn't revolve around rich little sissy's that throw fits to get their way. I am hoping for quite a few indictments, so the Republicans can't forget what has been done to America as a whole. Justice should prevail over might in these cases. Getting along with others takes effort for some people that have been sheltered all of there lives, they really don't know any better I suppose. I think it's sad don't you?
