Only partisans who are trying to avoid the reality that the side they support was horrifically horrid & their actions placed national security & our troops at risk purely for partisan political gain. Did it ever occur to you that, had the partisans not chosen to make such an all-consuming deal out of Clinton's foibles that his administration might have had the time and energy to focus on terrorism and our troops might not be at risk today? I'm not suggesting it was their fault. I'm already on record as not thinking anyone was at fault but the bad guys. But there are lots of different paths that history can take. Who knows what might have been different had some partisans not elevated a blow job to the level of import that we now place on terrorism. It was silly then. And it seems even sillier in retrospect given the real problems we now face. I'll gladly compare verbatim quotes to see who took wallowing in the mud to new lows. I'm not going there. Partly because I don't want to have to wallow in that muck to research it. My faith in humanity is sorely challenged already. Partly because, like I said, the degree of vileness only matters to partisans and I am not one. I don't care about winning. I just want it to stop. You can assert until the cows come home that the other guys are badder than your guys. To me, repeating the muck is just proliferating the muck. And partly because I know from experience that even conclusive evidence would not dent your perceptions. <g> Let me ask you this--what would it take for you to lose your obsession over the vileness of the Democrats? Would all Democrats have to disappear from the face of the earth or would something short of that suffice? And how do you see your objective being met?
