Davd L Carter, Good post. I was listening to NPR this morning (biased, liberal, yeah I know) and everyone that called in basically reiterated your post. One guy did make an excellent point. He says Clinton should fire Starr right now, and explain to the citizenry that these are personal matters and in his view the Starr investigation is impeding political progress of any kind not only for himself but on Capital hill in general. The point being that standing up to Starr and this idiocy would probably be viewed positively at this point - the cat is out of the bag as far as what Clinton did etc, no one is really expecting anything new out of Starr. The problem is I dont know if firing Starr at this point is possible - well Nixon did it, but were laws enacted after Watergate? Michelle

David Address a few points for me: When is a person including the president allowed to violate laws w/no consequence? 1. Sexual Harrassment as discussed on this thread 2. Adultery is against the law 3. What about the all the preceding "gates" filegate, travelgate, whitewater, etc. The man has several problems. 4. Campaign finance independent council soon to be appointed. 5. Possible conflict of interest in receiving money from Chinese and then giving them out most sophisticated missile encoding technology mere months later over the objections of congress. If you can refute these items maybe people will listen to you. Otherwise you are written off as a follower of confused president.
