Well dems now lie to themselves and abandon all semblance of honesty. Below I post part of a transcript from cnn crossfire where BEGALA reveals what dems really believe in their heart but only comes out in a not thinking moment when they are under pressure. dems believe bill clinton did not lie under oath because the Republican controlled Senate found him not guilty. cnn.com BEGALA: ... on Dan Lungren. One of the things that our president is very good at is giving pious lectures about his own morality, which I happen to think is wonderful -- his morality, that is, not lectures. Why, then, does a man who ran against Clinton's affairs with women, which I thought was irrelevant, now embrace Arnold, who has got the same problems with women? I still think it's irrelevant with Arnold. At least I'm consistent. Isn't Bush being hypocritical? LUNGREN: No, I don't understand what you're saying at all. BEGALA: He's saying Clinton were horrible and dishonorable, but Arnold's are OK. LUNGREN: As far as I know, Arnold was never subject of an investigation in which he was required to BEGALA: Just because there wasn't some right-wing Republican LUNGREN: Wait a second -- who was required to testify under oath and dissembled while testifying under oath. That happens to be a violation law. Look, perjury is a serious thing. I had to prosecute, of all people, Mark Fuhrman in the midst of that terrible trial in Southern California, not because I wanted to go against an officer, but because, in fact, he had lied under oath. And it was my obligation to do so. That raised it above merely saying something on the street. The same sort of thing happens here. What we had was a president who was accused of not telling the truth under oath. (APPLAUSE) BEGALA: By the way, he was found not guilty by a Republican- controlled Senate. (CROSSTALK) BEGALA: We have to take a break. (CROSSTALK) LUNGREN: Well, just one thing. LUNGREN: He's talking about the difference between President Clinton. This president also is one of the few presidents I've ever seen who gratuitously comes in and lays claim to the ability to be able to criticize his successor. Other presidents had better taste than that. (APPLAUSE) BEGALA: Every president in American history has done that.
