LOL! I was pointing out how you were playing the word game as if he was charged with the impeachment. You should be ashamed. Then of course you bring up Johnson. He was also found not guilty. The only reason Nixon was not impeached is he made a deal with them and stepped down, so one could say he was impeached, kinda like the way you manipulated my words to say coined LOL!

MTP is "playing word games"! Originally Posted by LexusLover

Wiki was cited proving you wrong, now for the History Channel:
Johnson’s political career began in 1829, when he was elected alderman in Greeneville. That same year, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), a fellow Democrat and Tennessean, became the seventh U.S. president.
When Lincoln sought re-election in 1864, he chose Johnson as his running mate ... As a Southern Unionist and “War Democrat” (the name for those Democrats who stayed loyal to Lincoln), Johnson was deemed a good fit for the ticket... (History)
You should retract this comment about IB before Wakeup gets wind of it. Originally Posted by MT PocketsNo one else in this forum is surprised to see that you misunderstood yet another post.
