Holly, I don't design federal background investigations, just to clear that up. If you think that federal investigators don't do a good enough job, then that's a different matter. Like I said, I don't know what all they do, but from what I saw, it is as exhaustive as an investigation can be. What more would you have them do? How can you criticize the effectiveness of a federal background check when you don't even know what all it entails?

In regards to Monica, I'll just say that yes, it's certainly possible that a federal background investigation might fail to turn up evidence of delusional mental states, and split-personalities. Anything is possible.
But before people write-off Monica as a delusional person given to live in fantasy worlds, I think there should be at least some evidence of that. At present, there is NONE. No evidence of that in Monica's history. We do know that in the tape, she says she has "lied her entire life". So from that one could come up with anything. One thing it brings up in my mind is that such a person would have no trouble lying under oath in order to protect someone in a high office, whom they had a sexual dalliance with.

I realize that the average renter or trailer-park person loves Bill Clinton, because he loves them. He gives them money, and cares about their problems. Like the article posted earlier said, Bill Clinton has super-human powers of empathy, and people really go for that. They like the idea that Bill, the President of the US, can be their friend too, besides being the leader of the free world.

I too could care less about the sexual proclivities of Hillary, Monica, or anyone else in this administration. I would be happy to have the media go back to covering the real issues, such as, "Are guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens really a threat to public safety"? And, "Does banning certain types of firearms infringe on the rights stated in the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution?"
