TP, I'm afraid the truth about Bill Clinton is something that many people are not ready to handle. I know some of these stories sound just too extravagant to be believed, but my problem is that newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a tabloid, have been exposing stories about this President's action as they relate to campaign financing and China that make me believe he is a modern Huey Long thug, and certainly, the most corrupt man to have ever held the ofice. I understand your incredulity. I was once in your position.

<<the Radicals must try to magnify it by combining it with real but unrelated crimes or just imagining some evil and then talk as if it were really manifest.>> 30 years from now when my grandkids are intelligent adults they are going to ask me with smirks on their faces, "who could've supported that disgraced, incompetent, swindling, bungler, bill clinton?" By then the culture will have gotten over it and 99.9% percent of the population from the next generations will be claiming, "we never would have supported a bumbleclot like that." The petty social issues that you are tucking away behind the bill clinton case will be totally lost in the shuffle and the dork will be out there for history to take a good look at all on his own lack of merit. I will be happy to say, "yeah, well I didn't support him, and everyone with any common sense in 1999 was called all kinds of names like 'radical;' ooh." They will will want to know how people of the nineties could've been so ignorant? Wish I had a good answer, but then I never apologize for the people who once supported their party when Nixon, Slavery, etc. was popular either.

In his rapid reintegration of the South into the union, Johnson made enemies of an influential faction in the Republican Party, the Radicals. The Radicals believed that Johnson had thrown away a golden opportunity to impose fundamental reforms on Southern society. In particular, the Radicals wanted African Americans to be accorded full citizenship and black men given the right to vote. When Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights bill in early 1866 that provided for the citizenship of African Americans the Radicals began to advocate openly his impeachment. They believed that unless the President could be removed from office, he would be in a position to frustrate their ambitions for interracial government in the South.
