First of all, rape is considered a crime of power. Why would the governor have to rape anyone to feel more powerful?

I believe you have made the point I've tried to make for months. Clinton abused his power with Lewinsky, when he, as the most powerful man in the world, especially the sexual assault of a weak, inexperienced, near-teenager.

Both should be considered criminal acts in my opinion. But certainly, the assault of Lewinsky is not inconsistent with his previous abuses of power with respect to Broaderrick, Jones, and Willey. The guy is a criminal, any way you slice it.

Be sure to watch her reiterate the story of her rape by Bill Clinton.

I don't know if Clinton raped anyone or not, but powerful people rape just like other people.

Also rape is as much about sex as it is about power.

Secondly, rapists are abusive people; they are not normally married but when they are, they are usually abusive to their family members.

Not all rapists are serial rapists or chronically abusive people.

Again I'm not saying Clinton did rape anyone. I have no way of knowing and I'm not saying anything about Clinton, just responding to your specific statements.
