Addi, Obviously, you fit in well with the Socialist Democrats. Remember, your Democratic Socialist Philosophy is on the same side of the political spectrum as Nazis and Communists. Of course, being intellectually challenged, which is obvious by your repetition of posting the same thing over and over, you fit the profile of the type of sheep that the Democrats look for. The Democrats do not like people that can think for themselves, or profess a desire for individual liberty and less government. They like people who need to be taken care of, or people who need something from government. Yes, you are one of their unthinking sheep. Be careful, or you will get fleeced.

Addi, You are not reading the articles that I post up to you. Do you have trouble reading English? Do you have to convert it to Hindu in your mind as you read? Just curious as to why you are so slow minded. (Hey, the Democrats like slow minded people especially if you can't speak English very well.)

Addi, It looks like you are always wanting other people to do your work for you: exchange2000.com Are you an underachiever? There is another word for this: Laziness Perhaps that is why you emigrate to this country. Perhaps you and your people like you are too lazy to clean up your own country, so you come to the USA. Is this true? You know Socialist Democrats like underachievers. They like to help you so they can create dependency. Of course, once they have you on the dole, they have then just bought your vote with other taxpayers money.

Dear Addled, There you go again. You always try to confound thought and reason by injecting your incoherence. Just because you don't think, please don't expect all others to follow your example. January 26, 1999 The 'Stalker' For a jobless 25-year-old, Monica Lewinsky sure is terrifying. She's so scary she has managed to unite President Clinton and some Senate Republicans in trying to short-circuit their trial to keep her off the impeachment stage. This will be the real meaning of a Senate vote today or Wednesday to decline to call witnesses. Democrats want to protect Mr. Clinton from the facts, while Republicans want to protect themselves from the polls. They both fear Ms. Lewinsky will elaborate her side of this story when it still matters to the fate of Mr. Clinton, not later. The value of her testimony has nothing to do with sex, a matter about which House Republicans have said they don't intend to question Ms. Lewinsky. They want to talk about obstruction of justice, among other things what she thought when she learned that the President she loved had told aide Sidney Blumenthal she was a "stalker" who had "threatened him." This line, we now know, was vital to the Clinton coverup. Mr. Blumenthal was headed for the grand jury, as Mr. Clinton has admitted he knew. And there Mr. Blumenthal repeated the President's lie, which the President also knew might keep the episode a he-said, she-said tale of consensual sex. Mr. Clinton, in short, was prepared to savage the intern's reputation to save his own. And we know that not long after the President's "stalker" remarks to Mr. Blumenthal on Jan. 21, 1998, media reports began to appear that attacked Ms. Lewinsky. Democrat Charlie Rangel told one newspaper, "She's fantasizing. And I haven't heard that she played with a full deck in her other experiences." Writer Gene Lyons, a reliable White House mouthpiece, said on NBC that "the President was, in a sense, the victim of someone rather like the woman who followed David Letterman around." This is ugly stuff, turning consensual sex into a predatory coverup. Monica is lucky she saved that dress; without Bill Clinton's DNA this would be the White House line today. Asked about all this by Senators Saturday, White House counsel Charles Ruff didn't deny it. Instead he offered two preposterous on-the-record White House quotes themselves designed to mislead. All of this is directly relevant to the obstruction case, and is why witnesses including Mr. Blumenthal should be called. Monica's testimony in particular would be an O.J. verdict moment, the one time when just about everyone in America would be watching TV. It is the one event that could change public opinion. Democrats--especially Senate women who make an issue of sex harassment--want these facts swept away before that happens. The wonder is why Republicans want to go along, especially when Mr. Clinton still gives the Senate the back of his hand. In an unguarded reply Saturday, White House counsel Greg Craig said Mr. Clinton would answer the Senate's written questions: "Now we would be happy to take questions and get responses to you." Yesterday, press secretary Joe Lockhart made that inoperative: "There is nothing in the rules that provides for Senators to put questions directly to the President, and it won't happen." Even his lawyers won't answer 10 written questions submitted by Majority Leader Lott and other Senators. Mark this down as one more affront to the Congress and our public institutions. Mr. Clinton knows that his testimony would also be an O.J. TV moment, and that telling the truth carries political risk. If Republicans had the nerve of Democrats, they'd force Mr. Clinton, under subpoena, to testify in the well of the Senate. The public supports this--by two to one in the polls. And the Senators have the power to do it. If Republicans conspire with Mr. Clinton to short-circuit a trial without witnesses, they will deserve the contempt that Mr. Clinton so clearly holds them in. wsj.com
