Okay Pezz, this one is for both you and Michelle: I ask you to consider the following question with sincere honesty and utter forthrightness:

When President Clinton lied in the deposition taken in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, do you think that when he decided to not disclose the truth, his primary motivation may have dwelt More on which of the following two things (for the purposes of this quiz question, you must pick one of the two choices - pick the one you think is more correct than the other):

A) The traumatic emotional effects on his wife, daughter, and his personal relationship with them if/when a truthful deposition were made public.

or

B) Did he fear the credibility such an admission would lend to Paula Jones' legal charge that Bill Clinton sexually harassed her in an Arkansas hotel room, which just might eventually help Paula Jones win an eventual guilty verdict against Clinton in a jury trial, with all the attendant bad publicity and public condemnation he would be under for being a convicted sexual harasser.

I have no doubt in my mind that Bill Clinton, accomplished politician, was thinking primarily of his own selfish political needs and NOT the needs of his wife and daughter, when he lied under a sworn oath to tell the truth. Indeed, Bill Clinton has already admitted while he was President that he as done things which have "hurt his marriage".

There were no traumatic long-term effects on his marriage for that admission, and indeed Hillary was the most loyal, care-free, and trusting wife one could imagine after the Monica story broke.

So in my very honest and sincere opinion, Clinton did Not lie about sex, but rather to save his figurative political ass from the effects of a sexual harassment conviction.

That's My Story, and I am sticking to it, also.
