I can't believe how stupid and arrogant the Republican Party is towards the American Public! The Republican Party has made a big issue about telling the truth and then they lie and lie and lie. They must really think that the public is stupid. Abusing their power, they dumped private Grand Jury testimony out on the Internet. They thought that they could turn public opinion around by dumping thousands of pages of sordid and sexual testimony on the publics doorway. They thought that the public would turn against Clinton. Now that they have found out that all their plans were not thought out very well, and that the general public is not as stupid as the Republicans think that they are, they are now saying that they are attacking Clinton because of principle and they don't care if they lose the election in 2000! What a crock! This is a bold face lie worse than anything Clinton lied about. The latest polls show that the General public sees thru these phoney Republican radicals and wants them out of office! Lesson to the Republicans: The voting public is your boss. If you forget this fact, the nearest you will come to Washington will be serving burgers at the McDonalds around the corner from the White House!

<< ... and I think a lot of other Americans agree with us. >> There's an article in the New York Times about the public's displeasure with the Republican Party: "Most Americans now condemn the Senate ... as much as they did the House, and Republicans are taking most of the blame ..." "Much of the public views the entire matter in both chambers as more a Republican drive to undermine President Clinton than an honest investigation of possibly serious crimes" The arrogant Republicans can keep saying how unimportant the American People are compared to their political cause, but, hopefully, they will learn their lesson in the 2000 elections. << 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. >> Besides the abortion issue, the judge issue is one of the main reasons for the attacks on Clinton, including the Paula Jones civil case, IMHO. But, the Republicans may have shot their radical agenda in the foot by disrespecting the voting public. They may win the White House in 2000, but if they lose the Congress, the Republican Party will be prevented from putting radical, fundamentalist judges into office. << I also care about environmental protection, adequate welfare and access to health care. >> Same here. It's refreshing to find someone else on this thread that has any concerns for anyone but themselves. This is one of the most selfish and nasty threads I've read. << I would have preferred Tsongas in 1992 >> Same here. I really liked Tsongas! The world has lost a great man. << 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). >> Agree. But what a paradox! President Clinton gets caught with his pants down in the White House, and then Gingrich loses his job, Livingston loses his job, and then the Republicans might lose big in the 2000 elections because of it! I LOVE IT! Regards, Bob
