Doughboy, Open your eyes. This is not about a popularity contest. This is serious business regarding this society's RULE of LAW. This president MUST GO... or this society begins its journey on the slippery slope to destruction !

>>According to the data I've seen you're the one who's in the minority right now><< right now Operative words in that statement. Fortunately we live in a democratic republic, and there is still a glimmer of hope that we may have some statesmen and women in office that will honor their constitutional directive and apply the rule of law. Screw the polls. bp

<<According to the data I've seen>> Funny thing about that poll - it involved all of 503 people, 30% of whom didn't even watch the speech. No offense, but I have trouble believing that an accurate reading of American opinion can be had with 500 (or 1,000, or even 5,000) people being polled. One of the first things I learned about taking samples (I'm a CPA, so sample selection is important to me), is that you first have to have a homogenous population. If you don't you either have to break down the population into homogenous parts and sample them separately, or have a sample large enough to reduce the potential for error. IMHO, there are more than 500 discrete groups that should be polled, let alone extrapolating the views of such a small sample to the entire populace. Let's assume 99% of the population agreed with you - would that make what Clinton did okay?

Yeah, those polls are sure unimpeachable and non-political tools aren't they ? Ever been married ? You know, promise some woman to love, honor, and cherish or whatever ? Those are not legal words to be distorted in a hearing somewhere. He's toast with the women in his life and America. This is end game. The Clintons are scrambling, the Demos want to dump him pronto, the Congress are positioning themselves for an impeachment hoping it won't be necessary and Starr is pressing forward as usual. Personally, I've never heard Rush Limbaugh in my life. What's he say ?

Doughboy, Too bad you didn't live in Germany in the 1930's. The polls would have been overwhelmingly in the Prez favor. And if you were Jewish, the polls were hazardous to your health. Do you want a gov. of polls, charisma and lies, or do you want one of laws? The advantage of laws in our country is they have to be voted on to change. But we will not have a gov. of laws if the public perceives they can't be applied fairly. The Great Imposter would be a good movie for you to see. Tony Curtis was a charismatic liar who fooled the priesthood, the medical profession, etc. Based on true story. People said he was the best doctor they ever had. Clinton is no better as a person than Jimmy Swaggert or Robert Tilton. He just had the feminist and media coalition. My own belief is that any charismatic liar is dangerous because they are so very unpredictable. Anyer
