<< About lying under oath or just lying, Is one worst than the other?? I try never to lie.. but I do to a certain extent,. It is a gray area... I don't know that either.. >>
Interesting comment. I grew up learning that lying was very bad and it reflected on your character. As I grew older, I found out that, in order to survive in this world, there were many times one would have to "bend" the truth. Sometimes, to protect your family, sometimes to protect your friends, sometimes to save your own arse! <g>
But, it's taken for granted that politicians and lawyers lie all the time to pursue their goals. This reputation for lying goes back hundreds of years. The Republican Right, for instance, say all the time that outlawing abortion isn't their main cause, but it is.
I'd like to kick Clinton in the arse for jumping into a Right Wing Republican perjury trap. As far as Clinton lying about his sexual affair with an intern? That doesn't really bother me.
What would bother me is if Clinton was removed from office. I voted for him both times and would vote for him again, unless someone better qualified came along. |
