Notice I argue both sides here - I'm torn on the issue too. Once again, for the actual impeachment process, the motives of the attackers should be irrelevant - only the issues matter. The problem is that we can't seem to agree on what the issues are. Sure. But one of the first issues to be addressed is "what is an impeachable offense". One side claims the relevant "facts" on that are as clear as all Ken Starr's other "facts". We debated this all a week ago, is today's line. We have to differentiate between our feelings and the process. Needless to say, I've gotten the "feelings" line numerous times before. The process is political on both sides. Somehow, we're supposed to divorce the "facts" of Clinton's alleged perjury from the background of dirty politics that lead up to it. Somehow, lying in the context of a politically motivated, moribund civil suit is more ominous and important than all the documented lying in the Iran/Contra affair. That's all feelings and emotions, though, objectively speaking, it's all totally different. Cheers, Dan.
