the point is NOT whether or not people are being hypocritical... I too have problems in my life and things I'm not proud of... but I certainly would NOT endorse such actions claiming them to be "okay because everyone else does it"... I don't claim to be holier than thou either but I do believe in the Bible and believe that one should do their best to follow Him.

Clinton is in a position of authority and a VERY public figure.. people should know that there are CONSEQUENCES for actions of these kinds... and everyone will eventually have to deal with them... even me.. for there is someone Higher than thou and I and one day we'll answer to Him..

just stating my beliefs... at least I have some and a Book (Bible) verifiable by hundreds of INDEPENDENT sources dating hundreds and thousands of years old from places all over the world which have never been historically disproved...

take that against some other religion like Mormanism or Buddhism which each have about 12 different written sources and most of them from all the same time period and persons..

I just think one would have to be truly ignorant to think that the excuse, "Everyone does it and to try and cast judgement or discipline from people who have probably done the same thing is hypocritical is dumb"..

we all do bad things... and even police officers and judges have done bad things... the law is set forth to discipline those people... it is a reflection upon them... NOT a reflection upon the person whose job is to carry out the disclipine..

you don't judge the police officer who arrests someone for stealing... even though he may or may not have done the same thing just the night before... if the police officer is caught.. he's to be disciplined by the law equally..
