Watergate was about a coverup of a breakin of Daniel Elsworths office.
Nixon was hung on OK-ing the coverup. He didn't have anything to do with the breakin.
Clinton will go down for obstruction of justice. Similar.

Scumbria,

This is a very different situation from Watergate. Watergate was an attempt to subvert a US presidential election.

Just about from left to right will tell you that the burglary at Watergate was almost really minor compared to cover-up and the obstruction of justice. BTW, if it is proven that a substantial portion of Clinton's campaign was financed with money raised illegally, would you consider that Clinton subverted the election?

Clinton has done an excellent job as president

I kind of agree. Clinton has done nothing as president. I believe the less is more.

and I couldn't care less if he lied about his affairs.

Clinton went on television (voluntarily), looked in your eyes and lied to you. If you don't care about that, that is your problem. He could have chosen to proceed with the most familiar tactics: stonewalling, but lying was more convenient at the time.

He could have testified truthfully in the Paula Jones deposition, but it was more convenient to lie. About Jennifer Flowers, after lying for years, it was convenient to tell the truth for the first time, because it could not hurt the ongoing case. Are you sensing the pattern? The truth has no meaning for Clinton.

Some questions should never be asked!

Normally, those questions would not have been asked, if Clinton didn't use his state troopers (paid by the citizens of Arkansas) procure women for him, if he didn't drop his pants and asked Paula to kiss it.

Rightly or wrongly, Paula Jones filed a law suit, during which Clinton lied and urged others to lie on his behalf. The more you look at it, the more it looks like Clinton knows that his behaviour was illegal. If Paula Jones had no case, the truth would come eventually come out. Since Clinton went down this elaborate path of perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, it looks like Paula's case had merrit.

Ken Starr is all about politics. His high and mighty air thinly veils a grotesque stench.

I don't know if you are married, have daughters or sisters. I know you have a mother. How would you feel if their boss behaved to them like Bill Clinton?

I know it is more convenient to be in denial about the man you probably voted for twice. Why don't you just face the fact that the man is morally bankrupt. If you smell a stench, it's probably from the stains on the carpet in the Oval Office.
