<<Have any of you Clinton bashers really thought about what you want now and why? >>
Although I don't consider myself a Clinton basher, I'll rise to the bait. I want him to admit to what he did - actually admit to having had sex over a long period of time with a subordinate, at times having it affect the running of the government and possibly his judgement, admit to attempting to hide the truth, etc. Then he should make us believe that he actually knows that what he did was wrong, and that he'll never do it again. That's it - no resignation, no impeachment. If laws were broken, I suppose the cases should go to court (after his term is over), but I'm uncomfortable with that.
If it sounds like I'm treating Clinton like a child, it's because IMHO he's acting like one.
<<unfortunately Mr. Garbaillot was the only person who knew the formula for pesticide and next year the grain supply perished.>>
I seriously doubt that Clinton is the only one who knows anything of import to the country. That's not the way the government is set up. Otherwise, it would be too easy to cripple the country. If he is, he should never be allowed to leave the WH because the nation could ill afford to lose his expertise.
<<is an impeachment really the best thing for the country >>
There needs to be a distinction between what I would like to see happen and what I think is best for the country. Obviously it would have been better for the country had Clinton not done whatever it is he did. Was impeaching Nixon the best thing for the country? Why? At the time the country went through quite an upheaval, both here and abroad. We substituted a strong leader for a weak one. We undermined the office of the Presidency. How are we to determine, without the benefit of hindsight, whether this is the right thing to do? |
