Many Voters Profess Exasperation With Impeachment Inquiry nytimes.com The voice of the people had a decided edge of exasperation to it on Election Day when voters were asked whether the threatened impeachment of President Clinton was a factor in their ballot decisions. "I just voted and I didn't even think about it," said George Gordon, a 96-year-old retired food broker, emerging from a public school polling station on West 77th Street in New York City. "It's a lot of baloney. Who gives a damn about the man's sex life?" he added, frowning at the question in the sunshine. "I've been voting since the Depression and the only president I'd trust not to fool around with women would be good old Harry Truman." Outside a Chicago voting place, Scott Vanderweele made a similar quick survey of rectitude in the Oval Office. "I don't know any president -- maybe Jimmy Carter -- who hasn't done a little sleeping around, and I don't know any 50-year-old man who hasn't lied about it," said Vanderweele, a 49-year-old systems analyst, describing the Republican Congress' impeachment inquiry as "insane." In honor of the title of this so-called SANITY thread, I have to again quote Susan Powter- STOP THE INSANITY!!!!! This article is good for more than a few quotes, but since it's the good gray Times and not Drudge, I'm sure it'll be easily discounted around here. There's even an angry Republican in here. I'd quote the whole thing, but the link's there, I'll leave you all with the closing. Some voters found the scandal issue rooted in differences of generation more than party. "The majority of my peers can get over it: the bar has been lowered since we were born," said Jennifer Logothetis, a 28-year-old government worker in New York. "We can forgive infidelity. I have a problem with the lies. But impeachment? I don't think so." If nothing else, the president's scandal showed ordinary voters inured to the luridness of it after 10 months of revelations as candid as Chaucer. "Yes, he lied, yes, he can't keep his zipper zipped," said Shannon Havard, a restaurant manager and registered Republican in Houston. "But I don't think it affected how he ran the country. Republicans are acting like it was the crime of the century."

Of course it helped that the Clintons bought the jury. Nevertheless, there will still be impeachment proceedings in the US House. Some things even polls and elections can't sweep under the carpet, like felony perjury, witness coaching, and obstruction of justice. ROFL. You better get a grip amigo. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the honorable right Mr. Starr who has personally handed us liberals back NEW YORK STATE. So long, Mr. D'Amato. I think you changed colors to the left one week before elections, just ONE TIME TOO MANY for the people to think of you as anything other than a total hypocrite. Retire in peace. :) And one more curtain call, folks, for our true hero. I want to again thank Mr. Starr personally for handing the republicans this electoral defeat... so angering the blow job giving immoral minority consisting of more than 70% of the female vote, that they felt compelled to massage the democratic lever in the polling booth. Special thanks also go to Newt Gingrich, for having read enough history books to line up his soldiers in perfect order... for the firing squad. And lastly, may I say, God Bless America Land of the Free. Home of the Brave.

Dwight, I wonder how many Democrats will look in the mirror and proudly say "I voted Democratic" the next time they hear of a 9 month old baby having it's brains sucked out, or I guess worse for them, having the child survive the attempted murder and be born disfigured. Yeah, there the party which is for children, as long as we don't have too many of them born. Michael
