Well hello Conscience. Clever name you have there. A better one might be Sanctimonious_moralizing_under_the_guise_of_MY_conscience - just an fyi for the future.
Hmm it appears that the crux of your position comes down to this.
So please spare me and everyone else who believes the abuse of power is something very serious, of your uninformed opinions. Make opinions, but only if your willing to support them.
Support them? Oh ok. Lets see, here we have a 50 million dollar pornographic expose containing a very important factual account of corruption, yes very serious corruption - something a president should be impeached over.... right? Well is this sexual escapade a HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANOR or not? Spare me your uniformed opinion Mr or Ms Conscience - I wasnt a legal precedent where a president should be impeached over a consentual sexual affair. Maybe you think this has never happened before, where a president has had an affair - huh? Sure, but wait!, oh dammit there is that pesky Thomas Jefferson incident, lets look the other way on that one shall we - there must be some way to make this into a high crime, come on THINK REPUBLICANS THINK! The public doesnt think consentual sex is a high crime - this ship is going down (to use your analogy - this is one hell of a "Perfect Storm" is it not) now what????!!!
Wait a minute - wait - there is something more. An unproven allegation, a real crime! Yeah thats what we need, a real crime! Too bad we couldnt include it in the Starr report because, uh, it doesnt rise to the standard of proof required - but what the hell, we dug it up, its gossip + innuendo - call Tom DeLay and Matt Drudge! And get those weasily worm congressmen on the phone quickly (start with Tom "sleazy" Campbell) to show him THERES MORE! Yes this IS impeachment material.
Oh, one other thing, you watch any television? I seem to remember your president coming on and admitting that he "mislead" everyone. I'm fairly certain I wasn't the only one who saw that.
Do I watch television? Well yes indeed I do Mr. or Ms. Conscience. And I did in fact see Clinton claim that he was misleading. SO WHAT. I suppose Mr or Ms Sanctimonious that in your world misleading is a crime... is that what you are implying? |
