Whether you believe he lied or not it doesn't matter anymore. What is done is done. You have to realize that politicians lie all the time, everyday. It's a fact of life. Unfortunately in this case it just so happened to cause us to go to war.

To meet a politician who doesn't lie.... I'd pay a million bucks!

What I don't get is why aren't we trying to impeach him like we did to Clinton for lying?? Lying is a very serious offence to people who hold office. Where's the trust after it happens??

IMPEACH THE LYING SOB!!! All those innocent lives lost because of his lies. Makes me ill!!

AMEN, Donna! I fully agree. What Bush has done is far worse than anything Clinton has done and nobody wants to impeach Bush?!

Just wondering, lizbud. Where did you find this info? Seems I'm the only Bush supporter here Not much into politics yet though, but I have formed my own opinions, I don't base them on my family, as almost everyone believes people do. I just think war would have eventually happened anyways, but we went into it too early. I don't relish the fact that soldiers are dying, but at least they are dying with honor. Maybe that doesn't sound right, but it's not like I don't care that people are dying. I have a brother in the Marines who I miss every day. I wonder a lot whether he'll be going to Iraq soon or not.

It would not be politically expedient for anyone to impeach him now. His party controls the House and Senate. It is also a very costly, draw out proposition, and with the Federal budget sinking further and further into debt by the moment, so one is willing to "drag the country down" with an impeachent at this time, and no one who hates Bush's persidency would be any happier with Cheney as President.

I have tried to explain to people a generation older than I that, when the first Presidency you really remember was Nixon's, you grow up knowing that politicians are never to be trusted. I don't even really remember Nixon much (but his dog) but I do remember the Impeachment and Watergate Watergate Watergate, all Watergate all the time.

While it is true that many politicians lie often, the problem with Bush's lies is that people lost their lives for it. People who remember when Bush's father was in office will remember the "Read my lips: No new taxes" line and know that yes, there were indeed new taxes. People lost money. Losing money is bad, especially when times are lean as they are for most typical Americans. Losing your life, your home, and your country is worse, though, by no comparable means.
