Junior- Sleazebag Bill has been lying and conning people his entire career, and he was twice elected to the Presidency. I'd call that "getting away with it" pretty well. <<So what is the proper punishment for lying? ... Should all liars lose there (sic) jobs?>> Do we have to hear this canard ad nauseum? First, there is a distinction between lying and perjury. Clinton stands accused of perjury, for which any citizen in this republic risks jail time. There are those of us who think that perjurers and those who attempt to obstruct the very system of justice they are sworn to uphold are not fit to serve in the Oval Office. We respect that office. <<What kinds of lies shall we include in the "job losing" category?>> For starters, how about ones told under oath in a federal court, particularly when your job happens to be President of the United States. Even more so when there is no more elevated motive for this perjury than saving your own butt (eg. no vital national security issue at stake). <<They have harrassed this president in a way I hope I never see again. >> Sleazebag Bill has gotten a relatively free ride. Nixon did not lie in court; he lied to protect his people and his presidency from the actions of others. Had he 'fessed up from the beginning, he probably would have filled out his second term. As it was he was savaged by the news media in this country. If Ed Meese had done a quarter of what Clinton has, there would have been no end to the howling. Larry
