I'm thinking that the OP doesn't know what Clinton was being impeached for and that not many Democrat Congress critters were in favor of what he did in Iraq. Oh yes, many of them like Hillary and Carry talked tough but they only did so because they knew there was a chance that there were WMD available and they were playing the political game.
I can't wait to see Newt get high enough in the polls for THEM to start bringing up his relations with his wife. That has been one of their favorite topics for years and they don't know that he had to leave the House because of what he did.

wow how could some one be so ignorant of the facts
1. to th solamia issue...NEITHER congress cut funding (and it was a DEMOCRAT controlled congress at the time (1992) it became a UN issue from 1992 to 1995
2. clinton FAILED the terrorism issue...he thought santions (oil for food) and bombing would sove the issue...it didnt and half a million iraq CHILDREN DIED under clinton santions
3 clinton was impeached not because of monica, but because he is a SEXUAL HARRASSER and sexual ASSAULTER of paula jones..the "lie" that got him was about monica, but part of the sexual assault case of jones, which he paid a big amount of money to shut her up
It was 1994 and I didn't say it was a Democratic Congress, I said the Republicans cut the funding

AKA Democrats who supported Bush in his efforts to fight terrorism
Remember after 9/11 the right started claiming that Clinton should have had the same emphasis on fighting terrorism as Bush did after 9/11? (yeah, AFTER 3,000 people were killed) Well Newt was the Speaker of the House back then, why hasn't anybody asked him why if fighting terrorism was so damn important back then then why was his top priority impeaching President Clinton? Also why did the Republicans totally oppose all efforts Clinton made to fight terrorism? Clinton got zero support from the Republicans while Bush got 100% support from both parties, and he wasn't being impeached either
As for Clinton's supposed impeachment? a veritable tempest in a teapot,he didnt miss a single day of his Presidency due to any conviction of wrong doing..

The PRESIDENT is the commander in chief, not the Speaker of the House

Not sure why you would think Newt would have a higher priority to fight terrorism over impeachment of Clinton ... they two issues are not related. Newt was the speaker of the house when Clinton was charged with lying to investigators ... which turned out to be true. It was Newt's job as speaker to head the impeachment. On the other issue of terrorism ... the speaker does not set foreign policy and does not "fight" terrorism as the speaker. Our defense agencies including military and CIA is responsible dealing with terrorism and ultimately its the commander-in-chief ... the president ... who hold the responsibility. Clinton's foreign policy on terrorism was a joke as he did relatively nothing to stop it or prepare our military to deal with it. Clinton decimated our military just as Obama is doing but in Obama's case he is going out of his way to empower our enemies.

Newt is a typical smart, self-serving politician! Don't vote Newt!
I guess we need a man who can pay attention to the job

...........and what happen to Monica......trying to get what ?, she walked in and suduced Clinton....wasn't the first time , I'd bet. She was trying to get a big government job, I bet, or was she a spy? Make a good thriller, not the first cracked pot to reach the top using the lowly pizza.
Newt is a typical smart, self-serving politician! Don't vote Newt!
The country knew that it was only a matter of time before the left attempts to demonize Newt now that he is gaining support. Which ever GOP candidate is in the lead the left will go full steam telling lies and what ever it takes to demonize the GOP leader. Too bad its happened with the others like Cain but the good news is the country is on to the lefts dirty tactics and they won't listen anymore. So demonize all you want because no one is listening anymore ...
