Tim,

>>>2. The decision is partisan. Which means it does not matter if Clinton prejured or commited other offenses.<<<

All politics is partisan. That's because we have political parties. Each part is going to minimize its own wrongdoing and maximize the other's wrongdoing. Which is the case this time? Both.

I don't see how your first sentence above leads you to conclude the second sentence. If Clinton had say imbezzeled money hypothetically speaking, Dem's would be saying, "Aw cmon it's just a little money, so what?" and the Rep's would be saying "This is the most aggregious offense in the history of our nation..." Does that mean that, in this hypothetical case, the crime doesn't matter, because it's partisian?

I think it is very possible to anyone, me, you, whomever, to evaluate the seriousness of the wrongdoing independent of what the politicians are doing and saying. I don't really care what spin the Reps and Dems put on it. I know that he committed perjury. And it does matter.
