Clinton lied about his personal conduct, not the welfare of the nation. It served only himself. This is the issue because he lied under oath about something no one cared about and didn't even want to hear. Then, to an international audience, he used the office of the President to perpetuate his lie during his Jan. televised denial.

If he'll lie about something nobody cared about while under oath and acting as the President of the United States then he'll lie about anything, anytime and to anyone.

He used the office of the President to lie about an issue which only serves his own personal needs. He used Monica in that way and now he's trying to use the Presidency and the American people the same way: to serve himself.

What a punk.

Dear Bill,

I see you take offense easily, for someone who is so quick with an insult himself. Please take it easy. You'll pop a gasket this way.

As to referendums, I meant referendum the way it is meant in many states - an actual vote. In some states this is known as a ballot initiative.

>>> And you have no intellectual capacity to

Well, more blah blah from you about that. You must be a nuclear physicist, eh? Or maybe a constitutional scholar.

I say try any politician that lies to the public about matters of consequence. I don't believe in breaking promises at all, when it could have been done otherwise. If a politician says he can lower my taxes, I expect him to try to do that, for instance. Or just shut up about it. Then we would have campaigns based on doable ideas, not ideological rubbish.

Cheers,
Chaz
