Clinton Got 28% of the vote,. Remember this; more than 51% of the American electorate chose to abstain in the personality race called the presidency. That does not mean we are not behind the President, we are.

Not really the point, is it? Clinton won a plurality of votes and majority of electors. So did Gore. Bush won a majority of dollars, acres, counties, tumbleweeds ... what have you. But the Constitution says we have a government of, by and for the people, not dollars or acres. It also says what counts is electors. Bush stole the needed electors with the help of a corrupt Republican Florida government (Gov and Sec'y of State) and the most lawless Supreme Republican Court decision ever. That's why I call him: THIEF! and maintain that, combined with the impeachment, Republicans have demonstrated the utmost contempt for the people and constitution of the United States, and are no longer fit to govern it. That they love to wrap themselves in the flag and bellow their patriotism at every opportunity just proves the old adage about it being the last refuge of scoundrels. A co-worker astonished me a few months before the election by stating that he thought a rich man's vote should count more than a poor man's. The more dollars you have, the more weight to your vote. Need I tell you to which party he belongs?
