<p>Even President Nixon was never impeached.</p>
<p>Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice and perjury. He was not “cleared of all charges” but was simply not removed from office. The vote was 50 to 50 on the obstruction charge (a 2/3 majority is required to convict). </p>
<p>In criminal proceedings he agreed to surrender his license to practice law for 5 years and pay a $25,000 fine.</p>
<p>Even President Nixon was never impeached.</p>
<p>Nixon resigned quickly enough because he knew that he was going to be impeached and he knew that Congress would have no problem rounding up that 2/3 majority in order to kick him out of office.</p>

Instituting a socialist economic policy, appeasing terrorists, burning the 2nd amendment aren’t nearly as valid concerns I guess…?</p>
<p>^way to change the subject.</p>
<p>"Obama’s “57 states” slip-up shows hurts nobody, except for maybe cartographers.</p>
<p>McCain’s “100 years” gaffe, or “houses” gaffe, or “draft” gaffe, or “bomb bomb bomb Iran” gaffe, or his chief economic advisor’s “nation of whiners” gaffe, however, are much more harmful."</p>
<p>Now THAT is what I care about.</p>
<p>I agree with ASC. And as for iloveagoodbrew, Socialist countries take much better care of their citizens. Wouldn’t it be nice to walk into a hospital without worrying about how to pay for it? When did Obama appease terrorists? I seem to have missed that detail. And most people agree we need some kind of reform on gun control.</p>
<p>
Yeah, McCain is only estimated to be worth $40 million while his wife is worth upwards of $100 million. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Since when is instituting middle class tax cuts “socialist economic policy”? Learn some basic economics before spouting off O’Reillyesque buzzwords.</p>

<p>Totally an overblown story. Who cares.</p>
