BigApple-
Your inchoate, semi-coherent, vulgar ranting hardly warrants a response. You appear to be an example of someone who has his conclusions firmly in mind before he begins to justify them.
Your comparison with Bush's "No new taxes" (you misquoted him- and perhaps he meant "no gnu taxes"- he did not impose a tax on gnus!) is misleading at best. Whatever Bush's intentions were when he made the statement- and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he believed it when he said it- it pales in comparison with the deceitful lifestyle of Clinton. First, Bush was making a statement about what he would do in the future, an inherently somewhat risky venture. While I don't necessarily agree, he would probably claim he was blindsided by unforeseen events- namely the recession of the early 1990's. He also took the politically unpopular stand of raising taxes because he thought it was in the best interests of the country. Now he may well have been wrong, but he put what he thought was the best interest of the nation above his own immediate political interests, and for that he deserves a measure of respect.
I don't know what "great job" you think Clinton has done other than position himself in a fortuitous time in the business cycle, but the issue involves lying to the American people about what he has done- not what he will do in the future- more than it does about his sex life. There may even be a plausible case of obstruction of justice, a rather serious crime on the part of the President of the United States. So your simple-minded, even idiotic reduction of Clinton's problems to sex is just a smoke-screen. That you, and others of your persuasion, overlook a pattern of dishonesty on the part of the chief executive of the United States is, to me, disheartening and a good measure the importance that people like you place on integrity.
Your reference to the murder rate in the US is hopelessly beside the point- it simply has no bearing on the issue at hand. Is it too much to expect for you to stick to relevant issues, or is ranting about irrelevancies the best you can muster?

P.S. Kenneth Starr is engaged in the non-trivial task of once again ensuring that nobody in this country is above the law. He has taken on an onerous chore at a considerable cost to his own career preferences- a stand I don't believe you can claim William Jefferson Clinton has ever made. You, on the other hand, seem to prefer a government run by an emperor who is above the law. |
