I may have altered your words(as in my "wholly unqualified"), but the point remains. It was YOU who said both Clinton & Nixon didn't have what it takes to be President, in so many words(sorry if I strengthed them quite a bit). So I stand by my meaning, you say someone who doesn't have what it takes should stay on the job unless they are murderously out of it...and I repeat your standard looks way too low as you've written it. Period. That one party shouldn't act like rabid court dogs as soon as the other takes office is mainly beside my point, you see. We shouldn't just accept and hold on to the incompetently criminal because they are elected, as you essentially said. to my sight. That's just wrong. And, surely you know that there is a place for rooting out the rats. Dan B

Ann, I saw a golf ball with Clinton's picture on it "proclaiming him slick willie" no more than twenty days after he was elected. The mud started flying prior to the election and it never stopped. That behavior I find as totally pathetic

Speaking of Jethrine, that mule is toast: Poll: Florida Gov. Jeb Bush holds wide lead over Democratic hopefuls Fri Feb 1, 5:42 PM ET TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A poll released Friday shows that Gov. Jeb Bush would easily win another term against any of his Democratic challengers if the election were held today. Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. surveyed 625 registered voters on Jan. 28-29, pitting Bush against the Democratic field. It found that Bush would defeat former Attorney General Janet Reno 58 percent to 36 percent. No other Democrat would get 25 percent of the vote against Bush, the poll found. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The poll also said Reno would handily win the Democratic primary if it was held today. She was favored by 56 percent compared with 13 percent who favored Tampa attorney Bill McBride. State Rep. Lois Frankel was favored by 5 percent and state Sen. Daryl Jones of Miami was supported by 3 percent. For the Democratic nomination, the polling firm surveyed 404 likely Democratic voters and said there was a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points. story.news.yahoo.com

...Reno's poor standing against Bush is reflected in her favorable-to-unfavorable ratio. Only 36 percent of voters rated her favorably, while 40 percent said they have an unfavorable view of her. Bush, on the other hand, was rated favorably by 53 percent of respondents and unfavorably by 24 percent. On the campaign trail, Reno's unpopularity among some voters has become so well known that she has taken to joking that she is carrying around the baggage of Waco, in which she authorized a federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound there that led the deaths of 80 people, and Elián González -- her controversial decision to authorize a raid to seize the boy from his Little Havana home.... miami.com

When someone abuses his/her positional authority while in office, they must be held accountable. Otherwise, we set up a King like state in which the King get's elected every four years. When Clinton rifled through FBI files on his political enemies, when he tried to throw an innocent man in jail in order to gain control of the travel office, when he sexually harassed and abused women in his office. When he accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources in order to get elected, and most likely gave away nuclear missile secrets in the process. These things must be investigated. To ignore that kind of abuse of power, would be to ignore our legal system, our constitution, and ultimately our freedoms. Presidents must be held accountable to the same laws as the rest of the citizens. They are not Kings, and shouldn't be treated like Kings for the four years the are privileged to serve as President. The Clinton's were found guilty of attempting to ruin a decent persons life. The travel office scandal set the tone of how they wanted to run things in the White House. Coming from a backward thinking political machine of Arkansas, they thought they could play the same hard ball games and get away with it in Washington. Reigning in that kind of abuse was a smart thing for our prosecutorial entities to engage in.
