<< Is there anything to the rumor that your 2000 ticket might be Gore-Flynt? >> That presents a pretty gory picture, doesn't it? <g> Oh, I don't know. What do you think? Would you vote for them? << You're feeling pretty confident since you have Flynt leading the Democratic charge, aren't you? >> Spin, spin, spin. Don't Republican Conservatives know how do discuss an issue with weaving spin? How is Flynt "leading the Democratic charge"? Most Democrats are standing up and condemning Clinton for his behaviour and want to see him censured. I would think that Carville was more into leading the charge then Flynt. OTOH, I would love to see how many more Republicans will get a standing ovation after they are found to have "Family Cheating Values". << They gave Bob Livingston an ovation for being truthful. >> Good grief. What a stretch! This is spin at it's worst. A man gets caught cheating on his wife and family for years and years and years and with multiple affairs. So, with his back to the wall, he admits his crime against most people's family values. And then, he gets a standing ovation. Give me a break. If this was true, they would give Clinton a standing ovation for admitting, during the Grand Jury hearing, that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with Monica. But, nooooooo! The Republicans only give standing ovations to those who have been cheating on their wifes and families for years, such as Hyde and Livingston.

Frank, you have got to admit that the standing ovation, given by the Republicans, right after Bob Livingston was exposed as a man who had cheated on his wife for years, and thru multiple affairs, smells a little bit, right? At least admit that the appearance of a group of Republicans applauding loudly after Livingston admitted to his "little indiscretions", does not represent the Family Values that most of us believe in. The Republican's Party Platform has been "Family Values". Are these just two words that have no meaning to Republicans? Is it just an empty slogan to get more votes? It sure sounds like it. Chairman Hyde gets caught cheating on his wife for years and years. Noone in the Republican Party says a word. Hyde is just a good ole boy in the Republican Party. The latest news is that Bob Barr is being accused of cheating on his 2nd wife. Noone in the GOP says a word. We've got an election coming up in 2000. I wonder if the Republican Party will have the nerve to even whisper their meaningless slogan: "Family Values"?
