45. The Republicans were not hurt by impeaching Clinton. What makes you say that?

Impeaching Clinton gutted his last two years in office. Impeachment also helped lead to Gore's defeat in 2004, and Congressional gains for the Republicans in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

Only the GOP sex and corruption scandals in 2005 and 2006 have taken the "family values" issue off the table. Before that, the image of Lewinsky was still motivating some voters to punish the heathen Democrats.

I can't think of a single way that Democrats gained anything, by Clinton's impeachment. I'll even challenge you to back up your claim, that it did..
