>The wierdest thing to me is how the "truth and justice" crowd can't even waiver one little bit on a stupid lie about an affair…<

Because it was not just a stupid lie about an affair, Michelle. Had Clinton admitted his lie early on, this entire matter would have died, at the most Clinton would have been fined a symbolic amount for the transgression. But Clinton displayed a clear pattern of deception, a flagrant and repeated deception that included everyone around him and that was supported by the power and credibility of his high office. Clinton most certainly obstructed justice and insulted the intelligence of the entire country. He continued to lie to a Federal Grand Jury and he continues to lie today. This is not simply a matter of a stupid lie about an affair. The people on the left tell us they condemn Clinton and then tell us it was just a stupid lie. They speak with forked tongues.

>[adultery is] something the vast majority of people would lie about, where lying was the honorable thing to do…<

I simply cannot believe you actually think repeatedly lying to a civil court of law, to a Federal Grand Jury and to the American people about adultery, this, in the effort to deny a fair trial to another American is an honorable thing. This is entirely dishonorable.

> - oh but forget the truth when it comes to all these false affidavits.<

Lying in the affidavit is indeed dishonorable, but we can surely understand that Broaddrick's motives were by no means as deviant as those of Clinton. Moreover, under our legal system she received immunity for her lies in order to get to the subject of the investigation. Lastly, unlike Clinton, Broaddrick has flatly admitted to lying. I believe her admission. Were Clinton to do the same, I would most certainly believe him also.

There is not nearly as much of a reason to dismiss Broaddrick as there is to dismiss Clinton, yet some on the left are hell bound to worship Clinton and call Broaddrick a lying slut. I think this most telling and most reprehensible.
