Nothing Adult About Clinton Impeachment

Dear Editor,
   I hate to disappoint the gentleman that wrote the recent letter about the Republicans being adult enough to impeach Clinton ["Postmarks Online," Nov. 22]. You had a conservative Congress out on a witch hunt to hang the president instead of doing the jobs that we elected them to do. Who was doing Dick Armey’s (and the rest of those guys') work while they were spending day and night pursuing the president? This is not an adult act. It's called a mean agenda perpetrated by the party that happens to be in power in Congress. If the Democrats had the majority right now, believe me, impeachment proceedings would have already begun against Bush for the Iraq debacle and wild-goose chase for WMD he and his guys knew were probably not there. This is also an agenda, especially since three independent weapons-inspection panels have come to the same conclusion. There were none and have not been any since 1991. They could even be facing war-crimes hearings. Clinton was impeached and he lied. Bush lied and people are dying by the thousands. Also another minor fact that this gentleman got wrong is this: In 1992 Clinton received 43% of the vote, Bush 37.7%, and Perot 19%. In 1996 Clinton 50%, Dole 42%, and Perot 8%. In 2000 Gore won the popular vote. His statements are misleading about Clinton's popular percent of the vote because he virtually stomped the Republican candidates and they were the only real competition. Until this year the Republicans have not won the popular vote since 1988. That's 16 years ago. I guess that it was about time for the American voter to go brain-dead again, and we did it this year.
