Ann, How can you honestly believe that it will be better for this country to have a hobbled president, continuing fodder for the late night talk shows, stripped of any moral authority to conduct foreign affairs. How can that be in the best interest of this country?. Even if you support his views, surely you must see that this president gives "lame duck" a depth of meaning unprecedented in our history. We were just given a dose of how it looks when he "acts presidential" motives are questioned, timing is at issue. The baggage this president is carrying is only pales when compared to the "luggage" that is under his eyes.....And yes I agree that impeachment shouldn't be necessary, he should spare the country and resign. bp

Ann The best response would be for him to resign. This I do not believe he will ever do because he is a self centered, selfish individual. My idea of maturity would be for us to impeach him and remove him from office regardless of how unpleasant it would be. If we don't, we are telling anyone who runs for office that you can do whatever you want to and don't worry about the consequences. We must begin to restore integrity into our nation both on the individual and national level if we are to survive. One way to start this is to make everyone responsible for their actions, whether they are a private citizen or yes, the president himself.

As a consistency test you could take your post and apply it directly to Nixon and Watergate-would you feel the same way? At least Nixon knew an impeachment hearing would not be good for the country and chose to resign instead (plus he knew he would lose). Clinton, like he's done to the people that stood behind him, incurring huge attorney fees (Betty Currie for one) in doing so, will do what's best for him and to hell with everything and everybody else. Why is it his supporters say he's a good man because he cares, really cares about people. What has he ever done to make people believe this crap...just give it lip service? He sure hasn't shown it to be so in his actions. He'll say anything to get what he wants at the moment...witness how his administration is so poll decision-oriented...witness how he told Monica they had something serious going on so he could get his bj. halfscot
