"Busines as usual" may be distasteful; however, the comparsion fails miserably, as NIxon's behavior was an impeachable offense (justified).
You do realize Clinton was up for impeachment too, right?

Nah, TIdeHoss, that slipped my notice... for what? Did getting "jobbed" in the Oval Office rise to the level of NIxon's masterminding? Nixon, basically, in typical paranoid, distrustful vein, sought to choose who he would run against...sought (and succeeded for a season) in thwarting the democratic process. If that's where you stand, so be it. However, it is revealing.

Perjury is still perjury, no matter how many squirrels chase the wheels of skybox airplanes in the month of Februaric moth calenders.

You were making a simplistic point, which is different. Your comparison fails because the levels of offense do not match. A man who kills fifty people exceeds the man who kills one. Murder is murder, true enough... however, the magnitude rises to such a degree as to change the level of the offense.
hh:, back at cha!!!

Well I guess I could, but considering all things, that seems to be most appropriate.

You have to remember Hoot, that DW sometimes gets confused when he speaks. Actually what he is meaning is that he would like for you to join him and be "high"on the road.

As this seems to be where all the actual discussion and not just lame score posting is, I am stopping in to say "Hello" to everyone.

FYI....Hoot, if I remember correctly Ring favored Hillary in the primary, not that there's anything wrong with that. :yikes:
Just kidding Ring.

Of course, my motivation for considering casting such a vote was a little different than the reasons that Hillary's supporters voted for her.
Just kidding Ring.
This country would have been much, much better off with Hillary in the White House and Republicans would still have been in position to retake the House in November.
