...my common sense tells me to withhold my support of a guy who's shown he is not worthy of my trust. First of all, Abdul Haq, thanks for the "welcome back." :-) I did not see it until after I posted my message to you. Now, back to common sense. I understand your point. But my impression is that your post was related to Tuesday's election. If so, then the fact is that Clinton was not running. And he will not be running again. He is a lame duck, in short. For a variety of reasons, the folks out there evidently do not want to focus on a lame duck now; they are already looking ahead to the year 2000 elections. As for impeachment before the year 2000, I think (although I cannot prove) that many people are wary of this because they suspect -- rightly or wrongly -- that the impeachment issue has been used as a stalking-horse for a whole series of other, ideologically-driven issues. Americans tend to be pragmatists, with an abiding distrust of ideologues. They have proved to be especially distrustful of ideologues who presume to lecture them. If Impeachment were a person, he might ask: With friends like that, who needs enemies? jbe
