Clinton Quotes:
Yes, the President should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign.
-- 12th Congressional District hopeful Bill Clinton, during the Nixon investigations in 1974.
If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people, he should resign.
-- Bill Clinton, on President Nixon, Arkansas Democrat Gazette, August 6, 1974.
The other thing we have to do is to take seriously the role in this problem of ... older men who prey on underage women.... There are consequences to decisions and ... one way or another, people always wind up being held accountable.
-- Bill Clinton, June 13, 1996, in a speech endorsing a national effort against teen pregnancy, quoted in U.S. News and World Report.
Even if Bill Clinton is impeached by the House, the Senate will have to decide whether he should be tried as an adult.

I'd rather say I despise him. I think hatred is a form of respect, after all. I have nothing but bottomless contempt for the President. ... But I am getting to hate him.

Let's see if we can get this straight ... Hillary believes that lesbians are fit to be adoptive parents, but that all of Bill's problems come from being raised by two women.

One of the things the Clinton administration has done is to renew my capacity for being shocked. In my opinion, the misconduct of President Clinton and his White House is more egregious by far than the misconduct of the Nixon White House with respect to the misuse of the IRS. We found that in fact there was some misuse of the IRS [by Nixon], but it was not part of an overall systematic plan, as has been the case with the Clinton White House. ... For the IRS thing alone, it seems to me that the leaders of my party as well as the rank-and-file Democratic members of Congress are hypocrites in their shameless defense of Clinton.
Jerome Zeifman, who headed the Democratic drafting team for the articles of impeachment of Mr. Nixon, calls attention to Article II, paragraph one, which cited Nixon's misuse of the IRS.
I'm appalled that she feels she can jump into any fiefdom, and expect to be like one of those medieval barons who'll be welcomed by the addle-headed serfs who are expected to turn out to lay themselves in the road for her white, ladylike foot to step on. I'm sorry to say she has no record of professional accomplishment of any kind. All she has ever shown the ability to do is make speeches. The moment she withdraws from the podium, she collapses into petulance and grievance. This woman is a functional neurotic.
