>There is Substantial and Credible Information that all should be very pleased that after $40,000,000+ and hundreds of man years of investigational effort, the most egregious "Abuse of Power" that the leader of the most powerful entity known to exist in the universe was found to be: dishonesty about occasional "oral sex".< Reason would cause us to believe Mr. Starr found much more than this against Mr. Clinton and his cronies (Hubble, McDougal, Tucker, etc). The money is already well spent in my opinion. Indeed, $40 million is not a great deal of money to uncover the truth of deeply entrenched corruption. But you falsely minimize the finding that Clinton lied. You ignore that he lied to the courts, and that his lie is certified according to the rules of logic and linguistic interpretation. When the President is asked a question approved by the courts, he is legally bound to tell the entire truth in answering that question, this, especially as the highest officer of the executive branch of our government. When an affidavit claims a statement is true, and the President claims the affidavit is "absolutely correct" in its claims while knowing all along the affidavit is incorrect, then the President has committed perjury. Moreover, the President's lie is not merely a lie. It was given with the express purpose of a defense against a lawsuit directed at the President. Simply put, the President lied in order to protect himself, thereby attempting to deny justice to another. Lies are not allowed as a defense in court; and Mr. Clinton, as a lawyer himself, and as President obviously knew this when he lied. Now, of course you will claim all null and void because the suit was tossed out. But the perjury charge remains in full force as the President was duty bound to the court to tell the truth, and not specifically to Mrs. Jone's case. This is why Judge Wright is considering issuing sanctions against the President for contempt of court. Logically, she can do none else. >Is the glass half empty or half full? Zero, Nothing wrong with his business dealings or the first lady's or whatever matter of substance Starr was appointed to investigate. Nothing on Filegate, Whitewater, Travelgate, illegal campaign contributions, the Chinese connection, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, nor any other alleged Clinton Administration misdeeds.< Irrelevant. Firstly, these investigations are still underway. So Clinton supporters should perhaps employ a bit of their own advice and "reserve judgement" on this issue. Secondly, this can by no means mitigate the fact of perjury, and it can by no means mitigate the proven fact of the President's lie to the American people. These issues provide more than ample evidence to at least one American in this country to prove beyond any reasonable doubt whatever, that William Jefferson Clinton, is unfit to represent him as President of the United States.
