I think it is a myth that the Republicans are out to get the President. If they were, there would be obvious signs that this was the case. Instead, they seem resigned to dealing with the guy. Since the election, anyway. Or really, since the backlash on the Starr report and videotape dump became clear. A few people stuck to their guns on the issue straight through the election, but most were more restrained, which probably was a good survival tactic. Too bad about Faircloth and Barr, on a purely partisan basis I wish more Republicans had taken similar stands before the election. Cheers, Dan.

John, the "resigned to dealing with the guy" is the self-serving post-election spin they've put on the impeachment process not that they've realized the unpopularity of the farce. It's how they're positioning themselves so they can pursue the impeachment while maintaining some level of distance from it. If they could get the president, they would. He's just too slippery and his handlers are too clever. Besides, once Clinton figured out that the "New Deal" was over and that Socialism had fallen out of favor, the guy adopted the Republican Platform and stayed alive politically. For all practical purposes, Bill Clinton has done mostly a Republican agenda. I absolutely agree. So why do conservatives insist on calling Clinton a liberal?
