Well, that wasn't that hard now, was it? Your answer is: "Of course I believe he had sex with Monica and lied about it even under oath." Therefore - you admit that he is a liar. You, his supporter, acknowledge that he has spent 7 months lying every day about this sexual relationship. He's lied under oath, through his surrogates, and directly to the American people with his "that woman" speech. He alone has delayed Starr's investigation at least 7 months. Thank you for acknowledging this and agreeing with us on this issue. Now we are all on the same page that the President is a liar, a perjurer and has wasted the taxpayers' money the last 7 months.

<<Studies have shown over 1/2 of all Americans have committed adultery.>> What does that have to do with perjury? Or obstruction? Or wasting $40 million by delaying justice? It doesn't matter whether 100% of Americans commit adultery. It's a non sequitor.

Studies have shown over 1/2 of all Americans have committed adultery. They all lied about it. Yes, pezz, you are right. As a realist I understand we all tell lies at one time or another. However I believe there are degrees of lies as pertains to the situation. Very few of us have had the opportunity to offer a lie under oath sworn before a judge and jury. I would suspect the percentage of liars would greatly diminish under such a situation. In my last job our new sales manager (new to the company to boot), a married woman BTW, was seen cavorting about with another married man at a sales meeting by her subordinates-me included. Morale and her credibility suffered from that point onward. She did not lose her job, as she surely would, because the incident was kept from upper mgmt. One would expect the elected leader of our country to pay a higher price for such indescretions. As an idealist I expect more from our elected officials and leaders in general, whether corporate or otherwise. If one seeks and takes a position of leadership then one should expect to hold themselves to a higher standard and make more sacrifices than us mere mortals who don't seek such lofty heights.
