Let's not confuse the two issues which seem to be debated here, one is Clinton's character and two is the question of Loral's alleged guilt of transferring sensitive missle technology to China. Clinton lies, no doubt about it but, does that mean Bernard Schwartz is also a liar because he voted for and gave money to DNC? I don't think so. Lot's of honorable people voted for Bill. I even know a few. If I am wrong, and BS is also a liar, then my confidence in my ability to analyze and assess matters is really going to be rocked. I hope that is not the case and don't believe it is. If so, BS would have blemishes and question marks in his past like Clinton does. I think past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. Clinton will continue to get laid and lie about it. Bernie will continue to execute a brilliant business plan for the benefit of shareholders in a very complex and politically sensitive industry which most people including our Congressmen don't understand.

<<Dragonfly amply shows that we also need some form of political literacy test that ensures some minimum, basic knowledge before people are allowed to vote.>> How about such a test for those who run for office?

Remember in the last election cycle the Dems signed up all those illegal aliens and other non-citizens to obviate the votes of US citizens. Oh really? We're supposed to believe you are not making this up, right? We're supposed to accept that as fact, right? Do you think we are fools? Do you have any evidence to support this accusation? Are you capable of doing anything but throw mud and attack me personally? Do you know what a poll tax is? How it was used in the United States? Do you know why it is offensive to anyone who believes in the concept of a democracy that you would propose one here? Do you believe in democracy? Then how can you dare question my knowledge of political history? Either you don't believe in democracy, or you don't know what a poll tax represents in America. I think you are pretty effectively trapped by your own words here. Dragonfly
