I agree with this part: "Tyranny begins when any power of any sort interferes
with an individual's private life or personal affairs."


A perfect example of tyranny is Clinton's abuse of the Judicial process, starting from his lying in the Jones' deposition about a matter that did include some private parts, exposed to Ms. Jones.

This part: "A statesman is answerable to public opinion or to the law only for his public acts." is utter nonsense. And anyway, the Oval Office is indeed a public office, which Clinton used for an ejaculation chamber. I don't approve of that, nor the lying under oath to a public court to hide those acts.

flickerful: I find it sad, that the same folks that are rallying around Clinton would have been yelling "hang'em high" if Bush had done the same!

The general population of this country knows who legislated all the give-away programs over the last 30 years, as well as the countries abroad with their hands out!

I am sure Hillary orchestrated this coalition from behind the scenes!

Remember what Hillary said when asked by a reporter...”what would have happened if she (Hillary) had married the guy she was dating (son of a wealthy auto dealership owner) before Clinton”...Hillary responded...“I guess he would have become President, then”!

That has got to make you stop and think...

Regards,
LG

flickerful--

i dont think anyone would disagree with the statement. its true. it is the issue that has to be decided, whether the public acts were right or wrong.

this is ill-timed in that it is before all the facts are available to us. what is worse is that they have lost a great deal of credibility for criticizing starr, someone who was doing the job he was assigned to do, investigate wrong doing on the part of the president.

i sincerely hope the republicans are not hoping that moral indignation will help them. i would add this though...the clintons will find public support difficult to come by if the dow drops below 7k and we start having real economic problems.

good luck to all,
trey

ill conceived- lying under oath is not a privacy issue- all harassment cases are by their nature embarassing. You can change the law on harassment cases but Clinton must answer as the law lies now, as any other man would have to answer. Sex in the workplace is not private anymore- it is an actionable wrong.
