That's kind of like saying my garage is not part of my house. Yeah, but since you live in a moble home, it's still true. It's his home so long as he takes up residence there. Furthermore it's not an "honor" as you claim. Clinton was duly elected to the position, and therefore is was his right to occupy the residence, regardless of those who would seek to deny the will of the people by subverting our political system for partisan purposes. Sounds like you got your spin training from Clinton himself. Did he also teach you stalls? Sounds like you're still a 12 yr old who doesn't know his a$$ from a crack. Come back when you grow up. You are unworthy to be my groupie, no matter how much you keep trying. You don't call them groupies. You call them "fanbois" A turd by any other name still smells like $hit. Can't argue with that. But turds can mak your roses grow. can't imagine spreading Maxie on anything would do it any good. Bertie |

First, his supposed home was the White House, not the Oval Office, which is not in the residence portion, and which is where the blue dress incident occurred. That's kind of like saying my garage is not part of my house. It might not be. Depends on the circumstances, I suppose. If a kid boinks his girl in the back yard, his parents will disapprove. If he boinks her in the parents bed, they'll be even more incensed. There's a YUK factor involved. Despite your Clintonesque hairsplitting, it doesn't make much difference. His actions were wrong, and he knew it, which is why he tried to hide it, then denied it, and only fessed up when he had no recourse. He was ashamed and embarrassed by his actions, as well he should be. Second, though less concrete, is that it isn't "his" home. *It is on loan to him while he occupies the office. *Living there is an honor, not a license. *I expect his behavior to be better. *'Course, I expect a LOT of behavior to be better in D.C., and am frequently disappointed by members of all parties. It's his home so long as he takes up residence there. *Furthermore it's not an "honor" as you claim. *Clinton was duly elected to the position, and therefore is was his right to occupy the residence, regardless of those who would seek to deny the will of the people by subverting our political system for partisan purposes. The Presidency is not an honor??????????? Holy crap! Where are you from, dude? I'm not sure where you're from, but in all places I've lived and breathed, being elected to any position was an honor, and any trappings that come with the position are honors, and the person receiving them is expected to behave honorably. Getting elected to some position does not ever give someone the right to dishonor the office, or its location, or its history, or its responsibilities. I've never heard of any reasonable place where election to an office gives you carte blanc permission to do as you please, wherever you please. And this has nothing to do with party--I'd feel the same about the person regardless of party. This is especially true as I get more libertarian, since neither major party does what I hope for. At any rate, being elected to the Presidency is supposed to be the highest trust and honor that Americans can bestow upon someone. If you don't see it that way, please don't ever run for office in the USA. If you do run, please enclose your paragraphs above in your campaign literature. Your potential constituents would need to know how you felt. Had Clinton been removed from office, that would have been the will of the people as expressed through their legislative branch. "Ill advised" might have been a better choice of words than "subverted". However, as time goes by and Clinton rewrites history more and more, I'm beginning to believe that removal might have been a better outcome. |

Only a lawyer, which, come to remember, Clinton is. Or was. Or is again. Define "lawyer". Nice meaningless diatribe you have going on there. The best you can come up with is YOU think Clinton committed perjury, which is clearly your opinion. And still not one of you who believes Clinton committed perjury can come up with any sort of reasonable explanation as to why he was never so much as indicted for that crime. Unfortunately, such hair-splitting does occur. And not all things that should be get indicted. Politics on the defense is also at play here. Are you trying to claim Clinton wasn't adequately prosecuted? A 7 year investigation that cost $100 million wasn't good enough for you? Go to any good bookstore and browse the section on relationships. All of the books on sexual relations will include oral sex; the common definition of such activity clearly falls within the bounds of sex, as any boy or girl or parent knows. Or did, until the Clinton era, when kids started getting quoted as saying it wasn't sex, and Bill said so. ONLY A LAWYER could come up with a definition in which a BJ isn't sex. Only a lawyer could have a problem with the definition of 'is'. In this case, the "LAWYER" that supplied the definition (that was accepted by the court) worked for Paula Jones. You might want to do a bit of research on the actual facts of the case before you spew such nonsense. It seems he paid a price, albeit smaller than he should, for the perjury/lying or whatever you choose to call it. He paid a settlement to Jones; he was disbarred for 5 years (should have been for life for such a bad example), etc. Try defending yourself against a politically motivated lawsuit AND a politically motivated $100 million prosecution and see what price you pay. The Jones lawsuit was dismissed, by the way, and the settlement paid was a fraction of what it would have cost Clinton to defend an appeal. In the end, Paula Jones got nothing other than the notoriety that allowed her to pose nude for a men's magazine. Even Ann Coulter called her a fraud. A lawsuit is also not a prosecution of a crime. The disbarment is even more of a joke. Clinton traded his law license (which he had no intention of ever using) to make the entire $100 million special counsel investigation go away forever (again he would have paid millions to continue to defend himself). If that doesn't tell you how weak their case was, you are blind to everything except your own ideology. I suppose legally OJ isn't a murderer either. Still, I'm not going to a cutlery show with him any time soon, as I have no doubt he shoved a knife into a couple of people. He was also indicted for that crime. The question was whether Clinton committed the crime of perjury or not. The USSC says factually correct but misleading answers do not amount to perjury. As the USSC is the supreme arbiter of the land, their opinions are what matters, not yours. Something many democrats never accepted after the 2000 elections. And clearly, they are not always right. They just win. Nothing like completely changing the subject when you can't deal with not being "right", eh? |

His actions were wrong, and he knew it, which is why he tried to hide it, then denied it, and only fessed up when he had no recourse. He was ashamed and embarrassed by his actions, as well he should be. So what's your point? Are you saying that since he cheated on his wife he should have paid the full settlement on a frivolous lawsuit, been found guilty of a crime he never committed, and removed from office for infidelity? I find what you call hairsplitting rather funny. Second, though less concrete, is that it isn't "his" home. It is on loan to him while he occupies the office. Living there is an honor, not a license.

The Presidency is not an honor??????????? Holy crap! Where are you from, dude? The subject was the White House, not the presidency, "dude". And if you're so concerned about "honor" explain how Clinton was honored when he was the subject of a politically funded and motivated frivolous lawsuit and a special counsel investigation that lasted almost his entire term, cost $100 million, and produced exactly squat other than to detract from the office. Apparently you feel "honor" only applies when your ideology supports it. snipnonsense Had Clinton been removed from office, that would have been the will of the people as expressed through their legislative branch. "Ill advised" might have been a better choice of words than "subverted". However, as time goes by and Clinton rewrites history more and more, I'm beginning to believe that removal might have been a better outcome. Ah yes, the will of the people, eh? Why then did Clinton have a 70% approval rating WHILE the impeachment proceedings were going on. Keep in mind this was a higher approval rating than Reagan ever achieved throughout his 8 years in office. The impeachment proceedings had nothing to do with the "will of the people". It was simply a partisan tactic to remove or discredit Clinton when all their other efforts had failed. It was and will forever remain a blight on the American political process. As far as "Clinton rewrites history", all I can say is you are really out there with your looneytarian ideas. You should try getting better information sometime as wherever you're getting yours has warped your sense of reality. |
