<< This was clearly a trumped up political lawsuit. Look at the backers of that suit.>>
The people you refer to entered the scene after Jones came forward. If your scenario was totally accurate, they would have been involved from the beginning. Also, the backers don't make the suit less valid. By the way, I have absolutely no opinion regarding the validity of Jones' claims. For all we know, they are all true - remember that harassment is very much dependent on the feelings of the person that claims they were harassed. That entire field of law is somewhat obscene in its vagueness. Jones could be telling the truth, and so could Clinton. Remember what he said in his deposition about Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill.
Speaking of Thomas and Hill, were you this supportive of Thomas? After all, the Hill allegations had far less corroborative evidence than Jones' claims. Jones at least has other people making similar claims, and Clinton admitting to at least some similar behavior. There were no such corroborations with Hill. If you weren't as supportive of Thomas, you may want to really give some thought as to whether you are supporting Clinton because you think he is right, or only because you support the Democrat positions. That's what I was getting at regarding partisanship. IMHO, it's better to have principles than positions. That way you know you are being open-minded and fair.
<<Impeachment isn't about lying or else Bush should have been impeached over the read my lips lie. >>
Perjury and obstruction of justice are not as simple as lying. Don't compare apples and oranges.
Much of your response was supposition and a bit of conspiracy theory. There is no way to really discuss those, since there is no way to prove what either side said really said or why they did what they did. In the long run, none of that really matters. What matters is: Did Clinton (fill in the blank), and if so, what would be the appropriate response from the Congress, the Senate and the American people. Everything else is character assassination, and should be avoided. |
