You just don't get it. I'm not looking for anybody to be humiliated. I just can't sit idly by while the Clinton partisans attempt to establish the precedent that it's okay for a sitting president to brazenly lie under oath. Perjury is a felony, and if we allow any politician to violate a law that we the people cannot violate THEN we are on the road to our own little Cultural Revolution. We only remain free so long as we are all subject to the same laws. Yes, the Republicans (a group of which I am NOT a member) acted terribly in this entire episode, and yes they were out to get Clinton, but he was the one that handed them the rope. Ultimately, their motives don't matter. All that matters is if we will allow our leaders to violate laws that we are subject to. I certainly hope not. I have no desire to live in a dictatorship.

Who the hell appointed you God? I'm entitled to my opinion. The basis? The man lied affirmatively, wagging his finger because he was so smug and thought he was too smart for us all and would never be caught. The same man who came riding into town decrying the decade of greed and the "sleaze factor". The same man who promised the most ethical administration in history. The fish rots from the head down. He perjured himself, he obstructed justice and he abused his office. He carried on an affair with a woman half his age one floor away from where he sleeps with his wife. He's scum. No more, no less. He certainly is not fit to hold the office of the President. NO ONE suggested he should be paraded through the streets as you suggest. That post is just more sordid, liberal extremism. Posted by a sore loser. BC got what he deserved. Hopefully he'll get booted as well. Clear enough? JLA
