Pezz.

Perhaps my greatest aggravation with Clinton is a failure to DISCUSS issues (reference your prior post). With Clinton every issue is a Crusade where there are victims and villains with the biggest victim being truth. Rather than having constructive debates and discussion we have spin campaigns that paint anyone who disagrees as wanting to starve children and kill the old folks. This approach is infuriating and totally destructive to national progress.

This approach is facilitated by a fawning press. Sure the press covers Monica but they do not critically cover the policy BS. For instance, all money is to save Social Security - then we have a ton of legislative spending initiatives, eg 100,000 teachers - each of which get paid $10,000 each for one year.

Now, we may have the Social Security debate this next year. I am sure there will be no proposal from Clinton but lots of rhetoric about evil Republicans.

Yes, I am one who despises Clinton. I see in him all that is evil in politics. It is so unfortunate that the scandal that gets attention is Monica. So many others, especially the campaign fund raising scandal that even the New York Times gets nowhere with, are worthy of impeachment.

So, Moniyhan and Byrd will provide cover for Clinton. The great senior statesmen of the Senate fall in line. How sad.
