This way, you've made everyone happy, without promising anything that can actually be delivered. The best part is, it works for both parties. Every time.
So, so true.

I quit shopping at Costco after I read about the political donations etc. I'm pretty sure my membership has lapsed.
Vote with your dollar and don't *****.

RE: The Lefter's Playbook for Winning Elections
Dude...impeach is just bringing to trial. He was convicted of nothing.
You said "...he was found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors against the US." He was not. You are wrong.
Quote:The United States Senate acquitted William Jefferson Clinton yesterday on charges that he committed perjury and obstruction of justice to hide sexual indiscretions with a onetime White House intern, permitting the 42nd president to complete the remaining 708 days of his term.
After a tumultuous year of scandal that tested the Constitution and tried the nation's patience, neither of the two articles of impeachment brought by the House garnered a simple majority, much less the two-thirds necessary to convict Clinton of high crimes and misdemeanors. Article I alleging perjury was defeated on a 45 to 55 vote at 12:21 p.m. Just 18 minutes later, Article II charging obstruction failed on a 50 to 50 tie. Five Republicans joined all 45 Democrats in supporting full acquittal.
"It is, therefore, ordered and adjudged that the said William Jefferson Clinton be, and he hereby is, acquitted of the charges in the said articles," declared Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, the presiding officer, marking the conclusion of the first impeachment trial of a president in 131 years.
The Senate Acquits President Clinton
Did someone say to do some research?

He was disbarred in Arkansas. He was acquitted in the US Senate.

Disbarment is not equivalent in any way shape or form to "high crimes and misdemeanors".
You can be disbarred for all sorts of things not related to a crime.
