Thanks for that "Geraldo" analysis. Get a grip. Let's let some thought intrude on your fantasy, as your errant sophistry cannot withstand analysis. No one has spied on Clinton's sex life. Clinton was sued under a Federal Civil Rights statute for sexual harassment and the Federal Courts agreed that Clinton was not exempt from those laws. Clinton was asked questions designed to reveal his history of rewarding government employees whom he had sex with, while trashing those who refused his advances and then revealed his behavior. A Federal Judge agreed that those questions could be asked. Clinton proceeded to lie under oath in that suit and lie before a Federal grand jury investigating criminal activity. He boldfaced lied to the American people. Those were acts that Clinton is on record as saying constituted impeachable offenses - for a Republican President. But Clinton went much farther, he tampered with witnesses Monica and Curry and subverted justice because he lied to his aides knowing they would further repeat those lies under oath. His own lawyer, Bennett, just confirmed to all that he believes that Clinton lied to his lawyers and to the court - and that shows the intent necessary to prove Clinton's perjury. Clinton didn't do those things to protect his privacy, his family or his marriage. Clinton took a poll and then did those things to protect himself. (Morris has testified to that fact). Such actions cannot be tolerated by the chief law enforcement officer of the US, the man who selects Federal judges and represents the US before the world. Clinton's precedent cannot be allowed to stand without it further corrupting our government, our society and our system of justice. This president cannot remain in office.

This is the consequence of picking an extremely flawed and corrupt person for president. The Democrats would've probably continued in control of Congress under Bush and Dole. They were getting more spending programs passed under Bush than under the Republican Congress.

j g, re >"The machinery and tactics employed successfully by political groups tend to have their own inertia, they carry on under their own life force both in the form of those employed (who look for further work) and as modes of behavioral response and tactics."< I agree, and I think we can credit Anita Hill and her radical feminist supporters for starting the "sexual harassment" witchhunts, as debuted in the Clarence Thomas hearings. Anita Hill went on to command $100,000 speaking fees at Universities across the country for single-evening appearances. This sort of momentum is what propelled Clinton's fear of a conviction in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. The radical feminists have sat back in dumbfounded and stunned silence as their sexual harassment whip they used to beat Clarence Thomas with was turned on one of their own--Billy Clinton. As you said, these misuses and abuses of people tend to take on a life of their own, when employed successfully. Oh well---live by the sword and die by the sword.
