Ok, let's try just key sentences, one at a time. Letting Clinton get away with his lies, perjury, obstruction and abuse of his office will corrupt an entire generation. The Iran/Contra cover-up never ended. Did that corrupt an entire generation? The S&L bailout is supposed to cost us a cool trillion or so in the end, all honestly kept "off budget" somehow. Nobody much was held accountable for that one, except for James McDougal and his very significant $66 million share. An entire generation will foot the bill for that one, is that because they were corrupted by the lack of accountability there? Is it true Reagan invaded Grenada to rescue American medical students? Would you like to explain George Bush's exhortations to the Iraqi people to "rise up against Saddam" in the context of the subsequent traditional sellout of the Kurds, when they took him at his word? Or the honest and forthright hanging out of April Glaspie to dry after the Gulf war? Of course, those examples all involve matters of state, so they're totally different from Clinton's personal moral failings. Sorry for the confusion.
