Political Quotes

“today, I will vote to start the formal inquiry into whether President Clinton should be impeached. The President's relationship with Monica Lewinsky was shameful, humiliating, and immoral, and his lying to the American people was deplorable and reprehensible. His dishonesty created a breach of trust between the President and the American people, which I believe calls into question his ability to be an effective leader. The President's alleged actions in trying to conceal the Monica Lewinsky affair may constitute an obstruction of justice. In addition, his deposition in the Paula Jones case, along with his testimony before the federal grand jury, may be construed as perjury. There is enough evidence before us now that cannot be ignored. As Americans, we owe it to our constitutional government to move ahead with a full scale investigation that will ultimately be judged by the American people. We may be weary of this entire affair, but we have a responsibility to do our job as the Founding Fathers would have wanted us to. Laws may be broken and to ignore such possible transgressions is a crime against our constitution. This matter should be fully investigated by Congress and the American people. There is no doubt this is a serious matter and a very difficult decision that should not be based on politics. This rises above partisan politics. This is about doing the right thing for our Republic.”
