You and me both, Bob, and I think a lot of other Americans agree with us. I decided in 1992 that Clinton was the lesser of three evils (the other two being Perot and whoever the GOP nominated, i.e. George Bush the Elder). The deciding factor was not the good Clinton might possibly do as president, but the federal judges, including Supreme Court judges, that he would appoint. I feel strongly that abortion, while I personally don't like it, should remain legal so that poor women are never again forced to visit fly-by-night abortion providers or get "back-alley" abortions that too often left the maimed or dead. But, I'm not a single issue voter. I also care about environmental protection, adequate welfare and access to health care. The sum of these concerns was my vote for Clinton in 1992, and he was again the lesser of evils in 1996 so I gave him my vote again. I would have preferred Tsongas in 1992, to be completely honest, but being a loyal Democrat all my life, I stood by my party's man for better or worse. Clinton, warts and all, has still been a much better president than Bush or Robert Dole would have been in his place. It's too bad he had to mess things up by being such a dick (in the sexual sense). Regards, Joel Irby Austin, last liberal bastion of Texas ...in response to Robert Barry's words: I was really getting unhappy with the Democratic Party until the 1996 elections, when a lot of radical extremists got into the GOP. Now it's a matter of self defense and for the protection of our democracy that I hope voters give majority power back to the Democrats in 2000.
