Trying to spin a flat ball doesn't change a thing. Clinton's impeachment failed by a wide margin. That means his jurors, the United States House of Representatives, found him not guilty of the impeachment charges against him.
Those charges had nothing at all to do with Monica Lewinsky. The charges were over the Whitewater investment scandal. The Clintons did nothing but get burned, along with lots and lots of other investors, when Whitewater collapsed. That was proven by the Special Investigator, Ken Starr, when he failed to find any wrongdoing on their part.
But that sure didn't end Starr's neat part-time job. Nope. The Republicans continued to fund that witch hunt for another 2 years on our dollar, and lined Starr's pockets very nicely with another $4 million dollars after the impeachment failed. And Starr never found a damned thing. Zip. Zero.
Furthermore the bringing impeachment to the floor of the House destroyed the Republican leadership doing it, uncovering the same sexual hanky panky affairs that were carried on by Newt Gingrich, the Speaker of the House, and his elected replacement, who was also having an affair. In the end, the only sexual pervert in the entire affair was the eventual Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert.
What was the outcome of all this for the Republicans?
They lost 5 seats in the House in 1998, Bill Clinton left office more popular than when he was elected, and Gingrich, the Republican who wrote The Contract With America, the plan that put his party back into the majority in the House for the first time in 40 years, never has held public office again.
So, please. Keep up the good work. There are lots of American voters who still remember the facts of this past time, and all you are doing is allowing them to recall just how bad the Republicans of that day actually were.

That's a lot of words typed to be wrong.
The House did indeed impeach, the Senate did not convict.

So, then, Juke...
Newt didn't resign? Or Bob Livingston right behind him?
Ken Starr actually did find anything, and never frittered away with $4 million of our tax dollars?
Or those 5 seats that were lost weren't lost? Or Denny Hastert wasn't a child molester after all?
Haha. I love it " Well, Bill Clinton isn't running." I would be willing to bet some money that everyone who says that would vote for him if he was running again, again, and again.
Yep, I would. Things were pretty good here in America under Bill. If he had just been able to control that little devil on his left shoulder (the one who like sex a lot), he would have had a flawless Presidency. He will not have an active roll in the WH, but he still has a lot of experience and, I am sure, will offer suggestions to Hillary to do her job.
But, Bill has gotten older, and I am not sure he is up to the task any longer, however, I would definitely vote for Obama , if that were possible.
I can predict the seconds until a counter statement is made, but those are just my opinions, and history seems to agree somewhat.
Darn - You poor folk simpy can't deal can you? Paula Jones lost at trial. Case got thrown out of court. The issue when Clinton settled was an appeal. It is suggested that Hillary opposed a settlement but Bill went for it simply because he did not want another three years or so of litigation. So Paula won...not by righteousness but by wearing the other side down.
There is no charge he assaulted a young intern. She has always agreed it was consensual.
There is absolutely no proof that Bill Clinton ever assaulted anyone. There is lots of evidence that he screwed around repeatedly...a long term American Presidential custom. Somethng in the job?
And he won the impeachment. By a large margin. Acquitted which those of you who mention impeachment should always include...but never do.
They don't know what impeached means. They toss it out there thinking the term is something like losing a lawsuit rather than an accusation.
So you're saying the 22 year old girl was the sexual predator that went after the victim president? Hi there Hillary, I didn't realize you posted here. Why don't you refer to her as a "bimbo eruption" again?
Do you remember Linda Tripp, Monica's "friend", the one who set her up? Monica was head over heels for Bill. Don't be coy now. Linda set up Monica to get her to talk on tape.
Monica wished Bill would become "her man" one day. I would call an adult woman who thinks that a BIMBO and some other choice words.
Are we going to forget Monica raised her skirt to show Bill her behind? Please
But, Hillary has ALREADY said he WILL be part of her administration.
That's good. Makes me happy.

Lest we forget: Bill Clinton was impeached
