This is about getting the 'liberals' and their leader. Nothing else. Everybody understands this. That's why it used to be about Whitewater land deals, phoney murder charges, personnel files, and so forth. And now, it's 'about' sex and lies and hypocrisy. The right are trying to throw the guy out of office because they hate the left and they can't control their emotions, and so became the victims of their own hubris. The public knows this viscerally. And Clinton was legally elected. So there is a backlash against the right, and the right will be punished. Folks are really sick of the vicious talk and holier than thou attitudinizing. That's why there is no public outcry against Flynt. Everybody figures these guys have it coming, and they are happy to see it happen. Right now Republicans disgusted by their party are leaving for the Democrats and the Reform party in droves. Gore will win in 2000 and have a Democratic house. The Senate is up in the air because only a third of senators will be up for reelection. If the impeachment results in conviction Gore will get 10 years instead of 8 in the White House. Will the Republican party survive without a schism? I doubt it. After this, the financial conservatives will be fleeing from the religious right. The democratic party will absorb some of them, and a third party with a conservative fiscal agenda but little social agenda has a chance. Ross Perot and his Reform party, perhaps. And the Republican Party will become the undisputed property of the TV preachers.
