You are not the only one who thinks this smells in more than one way. Starr's law firm is also a registered agent of the People Republic of China. This is another conflict of interest. Then there is Richard Scaife who hates Clinton and puts up the 2.5 M for a professorship at Pepperdine for Starr. Richard Scaiffe also funded the Paula Jones lawsuit through a right wing foundation.

Republicans had been quite worried about their prospects this election. They had no issues with traction that they were pushing. HMO reform. Tobacco legislation. Fixing social security. All Clinton initiatives, all things the public was very interested in, all things the Republicans were avoiding like the plague. Even educational reform, while not something Clinton yet had much on the table about, was clearly an area of great public interest, and a better issue for Clinton than the Republicans. This scandal is a godsend for the Republicans. Well, actually, its origins are a bit closer to earth. It's the fruits of the zealous efforts of some of their more extreme partisans for years. The right wing funded and directed Paula Jones suit brought home the bacon big time. The saw the President's weakness, and they figured out how to go after that normally off limits subject, and make it mainstream media fodder, big time. Use the inquisitional freedom to bring in everything that a sexual harassment lawsuit affords. (Unfortunately. Let's change that for all of us.) Doug

Ken Starr has resigned from his private legal practice to avoid just the simple minded arguments you just posited. JLA

Spunky, you are not alone in your beliefs. From the day Clinton won the election in 1992 there has a concerted effort by an array of influences to demean the man and consequently weaken the policy. To think otherwise is to ignore reality, human nature and the almost incomprehensible ( to some ) power of money. To think Clinton did not assist his own enemies with his positively stupid ---albeit personal--- behavior also ignores the almost fiction like convergence of events. BTW, another SI poll. And remember to vote early and...... :-) Subject 22879 L.
