<<sociopaths Name one. I cannot think of one President that can be fairly applied to. And that includes Slick WIllie.>> That man was a classic. One of the things a sociopath is good at is lying and making people believe it. Ie. used car salesmen.

Laz, Try this one: onelook.com If you look back at my post, you will see that I referred to "public servants" and was not limiting my statement to to Presidents. I was not one who thought President Clinton should be impeached, and a casual perusal of the Boink thread will bear this out. Yes, he stonewalled the investigation and lied under oath. While not a supporter (an understatement) of President Clinton, I believe there are some questions that should not be asked. Ken Starr? Don't get me started! <g> Yes, I know our history is fraught with presidential and other political scandals, and I rest assured that the future will be no different. President Nixon's transgressions did not, in my assessment, rise to a level that warranted Watergate--played out on national TV, if you recall. While "they all do it" is not a particularly sound defense, such was (and probably is) true. President Nixon did not do anything the other party had not done. Another of President Nixon's major accomplishments is that he brought us the pandas. - Holly
