Whow there. If any of the things you say are true. Why didn't they impeach Clinton for these crimes instead of centering around the sex scandal. Do you really think Starr didn't look at each and every allegation that you made? When ever they come up empty it is "well they must have gotten away with it". Don't you see the danger of such rationalization.


The problem with the Republican Party is that they have right wing talk radio stations scattered all over the country that get people riled up over a whole lot of lies and misinformation. Do you know who coined the phrase "liberal media"? It was Rush Limbaugh way back in the 80's. It has been the biggest con of the decade. The guy spreads misinformation. Then his listeners start blitzing the conservative legislators who take up the cause. Meanwhile the Religious Fundamentalists pick up on the crap and start selling books and tapes about the "Anit-Christ" Bill Clinton. It is all called "demonizing the enemy" and motivating listeners. We did it with the communists. We did it in Viet Nam. Limbaugh does it to get ratings. Now the Conservatives have taken it to a new level with the impeachment of Clinton. It is sad that so many are getting suckered into believing every single negative thing and then blowing everything out of proportion. Look. The guy is a politician. He lies okay. That is what politicians do. Do you know one single Republican or Democrat that doesn't evade tough questions. It would be nice if they didn't but the truth is. We want them to lie. None of us can deny it. If there was an urgent need to raise taxes none of us would want hear about it. A presidential candidate can not get elected on that platform so they lie. Bush did it. The Republicans have been coning us for decades that they want to give us tax breaks. Reagan conned us and he still has many who worship him not knowing that they actually paid more in taxes. Taxes just shifted from either federal to state or federal to Social Security depending on where you worked.

There is something for Conservatives to think about. My high school history teacher always said that if pendulum swings too far in one direction it will always swing just as far in the other direction. In the 60's my high school teacher said that the pendulum would swing to the right. It did. I hope your prepared for what is about to come.
