Since you did not address my principle argument, I ask again, regarding your view that "just because some voyeuristic prosecutor is poking his nose in someones personal affairs.":

Do you or don't you consider the allegations in the Jones case, if true, a personal affair? And if so, then we do disagree. If you do Not consider the Jones' allegation and court case to have been within the realm of personal sex, then was it or was it not fine and dandy for Clinton to also deny that sorry escapade?

No I don't have a need to discuss exactly which positions Clinton and Monica favored, and I granted that, for this discussion, we can agree to disagree about whether or not such things done in the White House constitute "private sexual behavior".

It's the Jones' allegation which led Clinton hurtling down the road of dishonestly, and in my opinion, that was no simple case of a private sexual matter - it was a gross violation of public trust - an example which Bill, in my opinion, has expanded upon and refined in the years to follow.

"Maybe that's why Monica is the way she is(because her mother is a poor role model). An unsubstantiated claim. Besides, whose standard are you comparing her to? It's just too bad the Lewinski family is not as good of role models as the most ethical man ever elected.

"I consider this type of behavior as a measure of someone's character." We all know that character doesn't matter. If it did, the first perjurer would never have been elected.

"Clinton did the right thing by lying(to Starr) regarding this affair. This does not mean I condone lying." No, it doesn't. It means you fully embrace it when Clinton is the one doing it. You are the quintessential Clintonista.

Really. Well what does it mean?
