Bill Clinton and Hillary were the subjects of a long investigation which cost mllions of dollars only to find out what the American public already knew...Bill Clinton couldn't keep it, like most men, in his pants.
The Democrats could and really thought about bring articles of impeachment against Bush for war crimes and lying in the run up to the war but they had learned a lesson during the Clinton impeachment. Clinton got more popular, with the public, after his impeachment and won re-election.
For a number of years we have been hearing about impeaching Obama and now there are calls to impeach Hillary on the first day she take office.
Oh please keep it up... You all boosted her up in the polls when a bunch of mostly white guys hammered on her for 11 hours.
Keep of the impeachment talk she will win.
That is the main difference between Democrat's and Republican's we learn our lessons and you are just out to get anyone who disagrees with you. Point in fact when have to ever seen or heard a protestor dragged out of a Democratic prep rally? The only thing close to that in the past was GW Bush's campaign who would have protestors arrested.
Release the hounds!!!!

Revisionist history, once again sans any facts
1. The impeachment proceedings against Clinton were based on perjury and bstruction of Justice, not his "cigaring" in the Oval Office.
Also to remind you, he and Hillary also lied to the entire nation right before his first election. He and Hillary both looked into those 60 Minute cameras and denied the entire Genifer Flowers item.
Good thing about his impeachment proceedings he finally admitted under oath that he lied, but that lie on 60 minutes is what got him elected.
If you think the Clintons first run at lying was in Washinton, you are very naive. Volumes on the Arkansas time, all proven and not denied.
They are accomplished liars.
2. You make the Democrats out like nice guys with Nixon and have no idea where you came up with that fantasy. Nixon, cheat and stupid bum he was, would have stayed as long as possible. He resigned because one single tape, a smoking gun, lost all his Republican support and he knew it was over.
3. The Bush talk is like the Obama talk and the new Clinton talk. Political rhetoric and that's it.
While you assessment of Democrats and Republicans is also an exercise in fantasy, it exposes nativity.
To answer your question about protestors, I refer you to the 1968 RIOTS IN THE STREETS of Chicago during the Democratic convention.
I would hope that some posters stop revising history to fit their narrative. There are enough real things to discuss without making things up or leaving things out.
