The explanation is simple...A drum beat of spin from the willing press which voted over 90% for the Clinton, coupled with polls which are always bent toward Democratic candidates. I don't blame you for not attempting to answer one of these questions. You're right, follow the strategy laid out by the White House. Defend the President's actions by saying everyone does it. I'm sure with over 900 FBI files to peruse through, a few more Republican indiscretions will be leaked to the press. Boy, that should be wonderful for America. You must be so proud. ______________________________________________________________________ 1. Why is it ok to end the career of people in of the armed services for sex harassment, lying or inappropriate behavior, but not the President? 2. Why is it so wrong to pry into the lives of the President yet it's ok for the Administration to pry into over 900 FBI files for months? 3. Why was it ok for Clarence Thomas to be tried on National T.V. Yet it's so wrong to watch a recorded video tape of the Presidents testimony? 4. Why was it ok to watch President Reagan's grand jury testimony and not a word ever said about it? 5. Why was lying and obstruction of justice wrong for Nixon, but not for Clinton? 6. Why was it ok to end the career of Senator Packwood for kissing woman, then look into his private diary, but it's wrong to do this with the President? 7. Why are we so concerned about what Starr is doing to America's children, but not what the President is? 8. Why is the NOW gang so non-judgmental in this issue. And why are they ignoring the sex harassment? 9. Why is Linda Tripp the embodiment of evil for exposing this administration for what it is. Yet deep throat was a hero? I will add a tenth. 10. In an effort to save the President, why is it ok to defame the memories of past Presidents. Kennedy, Ike, Reagan, and others? Michael
