brees, "integrity is the only issue" is somewhat contradicted by the mountains of innuendo continually dredged up here. (or Drudged up, as the case may be). The "integrity of the office of the President" didn't look so good during Iran-contra. Yes, Ronald Reagan may not have known what was going on, he was going senile, but that doesn't say much for the integrity of the office either, does it? Anyway, at some point Reagan claimed it was all his idea. There's this New Yorker article from Joe Klein a few months ago that I have to post a bit of sometimes. Joe Klein, Primary Colors, not someone you'd normally call a friend of Bill. His view is that, historically speaking, our government is much cleaner than it's been in the past. You have to remember that things like Teapot Dome involved real money, not campaign contribution slush funds. And there are plenty of campaign contribution slush funds on both sides, no matter what Fred Thompson says. Politics pretty much sucks these days. But it's highly debatable whether impeachment fever is a solution or part of the problem. You think if the trial wraps up quick with acquittal in some form, we all lose. That appears to be a minority opinion. Indications are more would be dismayed if the adulterous moral reformationists carried the day. But who can say?
