Only a pinhead Marxist could post his direct quote and stupidly claim he admitted a lie. Read, think, and get off your hateful rant. As for Clinton, he is a PROVEN felon. Good luck trying to defend the indefensible.

Think it has more to do with the office and power... then party affiliation............................. but people without any sense of history have things way out of perspective in terms of consequence. Compare the "lie" of Clinton's to a "little" fib of Lyndon Johnson's.... Remember Johnson's reason for engaging in Vietnam? That Gulf of Tonkin dousy..was a pretty good one..don't you think? LBJ's "little" fib, Nixon's using the powers of his office to obstruct justice, and Reagan's circumvention of laws to fund the Contra's were all impeachable offenses that rose to the level of High Crimes and Misdemeanors ....whether these crimes were persecuted fully or not.... Then talk about sexual transgressions... Boy where was Sam Donaldson back when Jefferson, FDR, Kennedy's, Harding and many others sexual transgressions? Hell Jefferson was a blatant racist screwing around with his wife's negro half-sister and had illegitimate children with this black woman... Plus how come George Sr. got a free ride (no pun intended). ==================== Plus what about a Leadership quiz? ..... Suppose it is time to elect a governmental leader and your vote really counts. Here's the scoop on the three leading candidates. Candidate A: He associates with ward healers, and he consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He chain smokes, and he drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. Candidate B: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian. He doesn't smoke, and he only drinks an occasional beer. He hasn't had any illicit affairs. Candidate C: He was kicked out of office twice. He sleeps until noon. He used opium in college, and he now drinks a quart of brandy every evening. Which of these candidates would you choose? A, B or C (scroll down) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt Candidate B is Adolph Hitler Candidate C is Winston Churchill Any relevance to present day? =============== Forget about Newt's multiple transgressions... tell us more about what Bob Barr did? A lot of sanctimonious psychophants running around. Anyway thought this thread was about taxes. z
