I guess there's no need to let one's convictions stand in the way of expediency. -BLT

Yes, DMA... The great thing about modern technology is that all these lib/dem statements will be preserved, for all to see and hear, for many years. When Slick is banished back to Little Rock in disgrace, no amount of backing away from these statements will salvage the reputations of these Slick lackeys. Ads similar to these will devastate the lib/dems for years to come.

Republican Glenn Nighthorse Campbell from Colorado has come out with a statement that he is considering acquittal. I am happy to see senators begin speaking their own minds on this rather than the party rhetoric. Now the juicy stuff. The talk radios out here in Colorado are loaded up today with rumors. A guy just called in and said he knows Campbell very well and that Campbell has so much dirt hidden in his background that it is a sure thing that he did this because flynt or somebody is black mailing him. Who knows, but this kind of comment is likely to bring the dirt to the public anyway because now inquiring minds want to know. Campbell was a Democrat and switched parties to Republican last year. On the one hand it is good to see senators (Campbell and Feingold) confronting the party rhetoric on the other hand; Why are any of these numb noggins talking about how they will vote before the trial has even been run? It looks like anyone who doesn't march to the party drum needs to be ready to deal with a lot of mud slinging in this flea Circus.

David, All throughout this thing, the conservatives have adhered to an illogical equation, something like lying=perjury=impeachment. Well, lying does not necessarily equal perjury and perjury does not necessary equal impeachment. And speaking of quotes: "It just seems to me too simplistic to condemn all lying. In the murkier grayness of the real world, choices must often be made...I want to supply a little context--a word I have come to love--to this situation." Henry Hyde (R-Illinois), on admitted perjurer Oliver North in 1987 "For my friends who think perjury, lying and deceit are in some circumstances acceptable and undeserving of punishment, I respectfully disagree. The truth is not trivial. Playing by the rules is not trivial. We are fighting for the rule of law." Henry Hyde, in 1998
