<<could I ask you a few questions? (1) How much money do you make? (2) Are you gay? (3) Do you sleep around?>> 1) None of your business 2) No 3) No <<I am glad I am not asking you these things in person, because you'd probably slap me (and rightfully so).>> No, I wouldn't. I'd just think you're a tacky person. <<What makes you think that you have any business digging in other people's private lives. I am surprised Clinton is even aknowledging such questions. This thing is for Hillary and Bill to handle between themselves.>> I wonder how many people in this country have been fired for sexual indiscretions with a subordinate, in their place of employment. I personally know of several at companies I have worked for. Last time I checked, Bill was still a public servant, and therefore it is my business how he conducts himself ON THE JOB. If it's in the oval office, with subordinates, I consider that "on the job". If this was an isolated instance, I would be willing to forgive it (even though I would not condone it). But he's shown a pattern, and I believe it has had and will continue to have an impact on his ability to do his job, (makes him subject to blackmail, ridicule, shows extremely poor judgment etc.) and therefore I think the American people have the right to "fire" him just like any corporation would have in the same situation. <<The criminal perjury thing is a different matter. There you have the right to inquire.>> I agree that this is even a more serious matter, and because I believe he played around with Monica, I therefore believe he committed perjury. In this case, they go hand in hand. <<Some recent statisctics I saw put the percentage of Americans having extgramarrital relationship (if I remember correctly) above 50%!!! What percentage of those do you think are upfront about it? - Now that would be a contradiction in terms, won't it be?>> Does that make it (affairs or lying) right? No way. Unfortunately, a lot of people think the way you do and thats a big reason there are so many broken marriages, and that is a big reason that we have so many social problems, which is what the Dems need to stay in power, so hey, maybe theres a method to Clinton's maddness. By the way, I do think that we have the right to expect the president to have a slightly higher than average standard.
