| 38. Comparing with Clinton is Oxymoronic |
 |
(Note: And BTW, it's exactly what the Euphemedia is training people to think/fear. So it is not my intent to single out this poster. In fact, this post is a cut and paste -- including this note.)
It's not just apples and oranges, the circumstances are diametrically opposite.
Clinton was a popular, twice-elected president -- impeached for less-than-trivial reasons -- by a party in danger of being seen as extremists (since having been proven).
Bushcheney is an unpopular, never-elected, never-legitimate regime -- being impeached for torture/war crimes, spying on Americans, and/or terrorizing the nation into war -- by a party that might be in danger of being seen as conscious or vertebrate (currently being disproven).
Realistically, we can expect "Reverse Clinton" results. Perhaps even on conviction/removal.
