Vitus; (OT) The point is this is nothing but party politics and it's the sleazzest we have ever had. Republican or Democrat there is always someone trying to take down the President. I could care less about Paula Jones, or any of them women, every one appears to have purposely put themselves in a position ahead of time to have some claim to fame and a reason to write a book. Star has exceeded his mandate and has had strong connections to big tobacco so I question his objectivity. The secret service is non political and has worked very hard to stay that way, for them to be forced into this because of the allegations of people that in my opinion are like gutter tramps who want to live in the gutter and look down on the world, and try to take some high moral ground in doing it, that is abhorrent to my way of thinking. I don't want to give Clinton absolution , hell I don't even know that he needs it, BUT I do know that forcing the Secret Service into this prior to any actual charges is wrong in principle. That Star can get away with compromising that is a very sad state of affairs, and the entire thing has reduced our news media to nothing but tabloid status. It's got that they will do or say any thing to have something to feed to the people who can't wait to get their daily dose of sleazzeee, while the rest of the country can go to hell in a hand basket and they say nothing. Years ago I concluded we only get to vote for what we think is the lesser of the evils, no one gets to run until they have passed numerous tests by big money as to if they will play ball. Forget politics and look at the system, it sucks..and it sucks the blood right out of the poor, while subsiding banks and big corporations, who are the ones that really pulling the strings. Yet we need some form of government and it don't make sense to burn down the barn to get rid of the rats. Still the Secret Service is one of the better factions of the whole thing and to compromise them shows just how sick as a nation we have become. I think any time the masses start to see some President or would be as some savior we approach the same mind set that has befallen other social systems and led the people blindly into endorsing a leader that eventually led them to hell. IMO Star is the Heir Goble of the radical right. So as we march forward and people play with their toys and ignore books such as "The Best Judges Money Can Buy" , and tend to forget that when it comes to money justice peeks, and they ignore the obvious "justice is for sale to the highest bidder", and settle for feeding on sleaze but never question the real issues. While an investigation into the derivatives market is stifled, and what happened with the predatory pricing in the so called new deregulated utilities sector is played down. That 2% of the people control 98% of the wealth is OK , as long as the so called middle class think they are well off, and can sell their grand children out , with an ever increasing national debt.
