Diane, I think we will be positively effected as a country by all this. Maybe now people will pay attention to a persons character before they elect him/her to the highest office in the land. The people who voted for Clinton are the ones who brought this on the country. They knew very well what kind of a person he was. They just chose to ignore it.

The other positive side effect will be the complete marginalizing of Clinton's agenda for the next two years.

Gee, maybe we will even get term limits passed! Remember it only failed by one vote in the Senate. That's what this country really needs! Get those career lawyers feeding off the taxpayers out of there!! Then maybe we could do something productive regarding campaign financing laws. Until we limit their terms, it will never happen.

Mike

Diane, I am a basically liberal person. It is not my idea to "get" Clinton. However, if the allegations of perjury, surborning perjury, obstruction of justice or possibly witness tampering are true, I think he should resign so that Al Gore could finish out his term and try to get things back on track. This has been a fairly corrupt administration, as administrations go. If Clinton is badly wounded and just limps through the rest of his term, the Democrats will probably do very badly in the next election.

Also, I am not sure we are going to continue to do pretty well financially, socially, and globally. I mean, I hope we do, but I don't think just Clinton staying in office is what will accomplish that. Many events and trends are out of our conscious control, and in the sense of the stock market, we may be in for a recession regardless.

If Clinton manages to prevail but is seriously tarnished, I think many Democrats in office will move away from him in the hope that they can distance themselves enough to get reelected instead of smeared by association. So you can just about forget the rest of the Democratic social or economic agenda being implemented. How would that really help us?

I think the republicans are being a little quiet right now because
they would hate to have the media go after their "dirt."


There's an idea! Why don't we appoint yet another Special Prosecutor (hey, let's get real, let's call him an "Inquisitor") to investigate the sex lives of every legislator--no no, every federal employee and every relative and friend of every federal employee--going back twenty years?

Make sense?
