It's a sad day for American politics. Republicans joined with Democrats in denouncing Nixon, but the current House Democrats are just dogs doing their master's bidding; their immoral master is the President of the United States, the unhonorable, Bill Clinton. They all repeat to the word, the spin(lies) that the Whitehouse has ordered them to. I feel very sorry for these people, as they should be just as ashamed of themselves, as the President seems not to be, for his actions. A mind, is a terrible thing to waste; maybe, there aren't too many Democratic ones around, to waste!
The Darth Vader Democrats repeated the " fundamental fairness " spin line that David Kendall created and began yesterday, to the word. Democrats are not men, but parrots; repeating this evil Whitehouse mantra over and over again. A lie does not become true, no matter now many times it is shouted out! I am too disgusted to go into any detail, but the birds want the President's spinmeisters(liars) to have a look at the IMPEACHMENT REFERRAL BEFORE ANYONE ELSE does. Well, the President's cronies will have hours to see it before the public, as it will take time to convert the hard copy into an internet ready file. Whitehouse spinmeisters will have ample time to cook up their insults, lies and distortion of the truth, to dispense to the public! There is nothing in the Independant Counsel Statute ( signed by Clinton in 1994 ) that provides for any prior look at the referral by the President. More imaginative Democratic attack dogs, continued their assault on the Independant Counsel, Kenneth Starr personally!

ALL REPUBLICANS WERE BOTH NON-PARTISAN AND BI-PARTISAN.
The Republicans are to be commended for their extreme fairness, and the Democrats condemned for their despicable partisan attacks. Okay, so the Founding Fathers did know that the House of Representitives would be composed of rascals; let us hope that the Senate will be more non-partisan and House Democrats come to their senses!
The vote was 363 = Yea and 63 = Nay . Democrats - Yea = 138 Nay = 63. Republicans - Yea = 224 Nay = 0.
