<< Nevertheless I would hardly claim those who have accused your man of sexual impropriety uniformly amongst “the right wing fringe of the Republican Party.” >>

I'd bet that most, if not all, of the "sexual accusation" plots were hatched by, and backed by the right wing fringe of the GOP.

If some of the "victims" happen to have registered as Democrats means very little. I used to be a registered Republican, before the party fell victim to the Religious Right.

<< But I can hardly see how the veritable hoards of women who have come forth against Clinton have been pawns of “religious radicals”. >>

"Veritable hoards"? Up to now President Clinton has been found guilty of two affairs, which is still not up to the Livingston level. OTOH, for every celebrity there are hoards of stalkers. If Clinton hadn't been such a strong leader, he wouldn't have had so many enemies.

<< No, my friend. You accredit more power to these “radicals” than they are capable of wielding. >>

The Religious Right has a lot of money and a lot of power. If not, how do you explain the fact that US dues payments have been withheld from the United Nations mostly because the United Nations has programs that assist poor countries with family planning. Good grief! As if these poverty stricken families are not in dire need of family health assistance.

<< They consistently desire to blame everyone but the real culprit for their man's problems. >>

Untrue. Supporters of President Clinton have been very vocal condemning his sexual tryst in the WH, and condemning him stepping into a perjury trap when he knew that his enemies, including Ken Starr, were after him.

I blame the Republican Party for abusing their majority power. I don't think that the public will trust the Republican Party, again, with majority power, for a long time. The Republican Party's abuses have nothing to do with Clinton's transgressions.

<< They will see that the real power to seriously impugn Bill Clinton's character comes from none other than Bill Clinton himself. >>

True. But, we must also recognize Clinton's great leadership talents and his stamina. Unfortunately, President Clinton is not perfect. Fortunately he is an excellent President and leader, as is recognized by 70% of the people.
