Republican Presidential affairs and lies under oath are OK? Would it make you feel better if they just made it part of the job description?

Scumbria, If you exaggerate to make a point, that is OK. If I do the same, that is an ethics problem. Very duplicitous. Attack the accuser, eh? Gonna call me a bimbo or trailer trash, next? It is not okay to exaggerate to make a point (BTW, are you now admitting that you exaggerated? And that you were wrong?). How would you feel if I had simply responded to your original post that, yeah, it may take $200 of RDRAM but it'll take $500 of DDR? Wouldn't you want to know where the hell that number was coming from? Wouldn't you call that number a load of BS? In a sense, all I was trying to ask was whether you were making this up (exaggerating) or if you had a real source. You refused to answer. You evaded the question. You feigned indignation. Maybe you're here just to "pull the bulls tails" as well. Of the two of us, I'm not the one with the ethics problem. You're welcome to point out any posts where I've exaggerated and it hasn't either been an obvious joke, or I haven't apologized for my mistake already (since I don't "exaggerate" on purpose). BTW: Republican Presidential affairs and lies under oath are OK? LOL! What does this have to do with anything we're discussing? Nice subject change, again. However, you can go back and read my posts on this subject that are already public record (apparently you haven't so far). Affairs are nobody's business (presidential or otherwise), though I wish people had enough honesty and character to not have affairs. Lies under oath are punishable by law. It's not a political issue. I don't care if you're a Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Green Party, Communist, or Socialist. Why do you think ethics should shift with political affiliation? As I said to Carl, I'm not interested any longer in your BS. We now know that you were "exaggerating" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), so I don't even care if you find a link anymore. I know that you were making it up, and that's all I asked originally. Dave

Presidential affairs and lies under oath are OK? since you keep bringing it up... no they are not ok...in fact both are serious offenses and are strictly prohibited by the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice)....whether you agree with it or not, it is the military law and many a fine officer and non-com has been court-martialed and dismissed from the service for both offenses. clinton was quick to claim that as president and commander-in-chief, he is now a member of the military. unfortunately, he did not accept the role of leader by setting the example. i believe that any senior officer in any responsible corporation would be dismissed without delay for clinton's behavior...ditto for college professors and presidents and others in responsible government positions. clinton is a disgrace, soldiers hate him. his role as a leader is finished...his performance was so bad he cannot even go home. and yes...i do believe it rubbed off on gore. uw
