Bob, Hate to blow a hole in your theory, but Clinton has been very good to the tabacco industry. A deal to limit ligitation. They jumped at the chance.

Wow, I really think you should chill dude and go smoke a cigarette, you know? And I thought the far right wingers were out there with the nutty stuff. Sheesh!

You have assembled a great parody of the Clintonista disinformation campaign. A truly amazing string of non-sequiturs. Too bad some are sufficiently soft-headed to believe that stuff.

Bob, spare us. If a video tape was produced showing the President doing up Lewinsky, (authenticated, cooborated, witnessed, etc.) you would say that Hollywood had made up an actor to look like Clinton, and was taking revenge for some slight the President made against Hollywood -- And hey face it, Clinton has double-crossed a lot of special interest groups -- so you never have need of running out of people with a score to settle. The "they're out to get me" defense indeed works well on the average gullible person that thinks 2+2=3 makes perfect sense. There's plenty of examples of jury verdicts besides the O.J. verdict that shows that plenty of people prefer to make decisions based on their own narrow personal prejudices, rather than on common sense, rational thought, deductive reasoning, and cold hard facts. And a conspiracy always plays well -- as Hillary so astutely demonstrated. You might try your line on one of the morning talk shows -- you'd probably get more believers in your theory than on here.

Hi Bob, A government which simultaneously subsidizes the growing of tobacco and the treatment of lung cancer epitomizes hypocrisy. Mr. Gore's disgusting two-faced stance on the subject is well documented on video tape. I don't buy the "Starr is a tool of the tobacco industry" line as promulgated by the oleaginous Paul Begala. The Clinton defenders are pretty desperate to keep attacking the accusers rather than the charges. Ann Lewis and Lanny Davis may eventually bear the shame they deserve for defending the indefensible -- Clinton's behavior. I do not refer to his sexual escapades, but to the very real dirty tricks he has gotten away with thus far: Indonesian/Chinese dirty money, etc. But I have thought all along the his most diabolical scheme, worthy of Machiavelli, was getting those Republican FBI files as soon as he moved into the White House. The ultimate malpractice insurance policy! I wonder if he has Janet Reno's file? Jack
