<<Yep he's a liar, I know. So what?>> Glad you asked. It's one thing to suspect they are all liars, it's another thing to condone the lies. Bill lied to your face, he is still lying, you know he is lying, he knows you know he is lying, he is redefining what you know as common sense to be something else. He expects you to go along. He thinks you will because you are dependant on his leadership to keep your political climate in tact, and maybe to keep your affiliations strong. He is where he is because he asked for our support. We gave it to him as a public trust. Trust is under written by a social contract between him and us. He violated it, he is not worthy of our trust. I am with drawing my support. I would not go along with being lied to by a person from my family, a friend, an business associate or any one else. Why should I put up with it from him. Because he is the leader of the most powerful nation in the world? He's not a King. He's no dictator. In some countries you could do not object, unless you were willing to give up your life in the process. He is not above the laws of this land. He is not even above the person sitting accross my diner table from me, when it comes to an issue of personal honesty. In every community across the nation criminals are asking to have their case reconsidered. People fired from jobs are now objecting. Children are challenging their parents discipline. This is not a private issue between Monica and Bill as the clintonistas would have you believe. He stood up on his own (he was not forced) on national television (that is public) pointed his finger in your face (that is not private, that is personal) and he lied to you. He did it very, very well. He crossed a line with me, I no longer consider the social contract in tact. I am withdrawing my support. You asked, "So what." I think I've explained it. My question is what do you think you owe this guy that you would let him sell out the honor of the office of presidency and go along with it? What do you think you owe any body, that you would go along with them lying in your face? It would be different if some one was holding a gun to your head. I don't want to live in a society where I'm not supposed to think, where I'm supposed to go along with what the group thinks, where I'm supposed to let Bill Clinton or anybody else tell me how and what to think or not to think. Thats what. Bill Clinton is a liar.
