<<No they don't. The Democrats are the ones that keep bringing up morals. The Republicans are mostly talking about ethics and the law.>> I think if you look a little deeper you might think otherwise. The Republicans want us to believe that. Indeed they do talk about ethics and law but at the same time they put Stars report on the internet.This was a not so subtle attempt to try to swing public opinion around to their side.Think back to only a few years ago when Gary Hart[sp?] got caught with his pants down so to speak. It has always been a politician killer. The Republicans know this and do push the issue.Was the "cigar " story really necessary? Yes they talk ethics and law but what they promote is morals. And it frustrates them so that it isn't working.
<<And now, another idealistic attempt to sway someone's opinion about the basic issues at hand.>> Ahh, Bob my friend how long have you been on these threads? But keep trying I enjoy your posts. As it happens I will accept your analogy as it does help me clarify my position. You see I believe that drugs like sex between consenting adults should be legalized.There for I would think that anything that you could do to avoid prosecution could be looked at in a different light.If a law is unjust then action taken to circumvent the law may well be justified. I have said all along that Clinton lied under oath. I personally think that questions about his sex life should never have been asked. For sure he could have handled them better but he was caught between a rock and a hard place. [remember Hart? ] This is how I accept what he did. Yes I know that this is a nation of laws applying to all. . The reality of it is that all laws were not created equal.Still he lied under oath but under the circumstances I don't find that this falls under the category of Treason bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors. Just my opinion ...might be wrong....
