Scheer on Impeachment

I think we've all heard this argument by now. Clinton gets impeached for lying about an affair and Bush is still in office after lying us into a war. We've all heard the bumper sticker comment already.

But Robert Scheer's "A Case For Impeachment" puts it in a way as to not be so crude and seriously think about the issue, because to be honest, it all too often falls on deaf ears.

Scheer: "Not all lies are created equal. It is understood that there is a chasm of importance between little white lies and big black ones. Most would agree that lying about a consensual sexual affair, even by the president, is of significantly lesser concern than lying about the proliferation of nuclear weapons as an excuse to take the nation to war.

How then is it possible that a Republican-controlled Congress impeached President Bill Clinton over his attempt to conceal marital infidelity but that a Democratic-led Congress will not even consider impeaching this president for far more serious transgressions against the public trust?"

This Administration had to be held accountable for its high crimes and misdemeanors.
