<<I concede the perjury>> David I did that before this thread was borne. I did it on the other thread and have repeated it often. If one is going to be credible one can't attempt to defend the indefensible. I just don't think that this was an impeachable offense.As in high crimes and misdemeanors and apparently many Constitutional scholars agree with that assessment. <<Do you stick to the notion that this one perjury was isolated and uncharacteristic and in no way part of a pattern?>>
I am not aware of any other perjury on his part are you? As far as his lying I think that he would lie in similar situation again if he thought he could get away with it.I am a realist. I think most politicians would lie to save their skins in a similar situation. I am aware of this when I vote.I don't say it's ok because because others do it. I say this is what we get when we elect politicians it comes with the territory. But I think what you are asking is do I think he can be trusted not to do it under circumstances that may be more significant? Would he lie in a situation on national policy? I don't know but because he lied under oath given questions that I believe never should have been asked in it self does not give me cause to think he would.
