Yup. I, of course, have no concern whatever for what they call me. Anyone who supports killing children and a lying sexual predator as president of their country simply has no moral ground to call anyone anything-- good or bad.

Ish, I think very few people, other than diehard Democrats, actually "back" Clinton. They know he's morally corrupt. He gets the job done, however, and Americans have long since gotten over looking to their political leaders for moral leadership. Which is sad, but true. Blame Johnson's lies. Blame Nixon's crimes.

I believe they simply see the trauma of impeachment process as a punishment more against the nation than against Clinton. That's why they favor censure.

I've never called anyone on this threa an idiot. And the only person who is hateful is one spews hatred against certain categories of people. Defending morality is one thing. Attacking a group of people because of their sexual orientation is another.

Something I heard and still find a good rule, if a person will lie to you, he will steal from you because you are no longer his equal.

Good words to live by. I think most of America's presidents in recent decades have been liars and thieves. Why should Clinton be any different?

You mentioned Peoria earlier, talk about a city full of hatred, and votes democratic every time.

They're just looking out for their own, or think they are. They vote Democrat cuz they're all Caterpillar and union men, so they are averse to the GOP, because it is anti-union. How are they full of hatred? Hate against whom?
