The church is made up of sinners, because it is made up of people. No elder in any church would have been thrown out for a sin long over with and repented. Mary Magdalene became a saint. The question is of current character. Besides, simple adultery is less egregious than Clinton's behavior, and then there is the matter of the actual charges: perjury and obstruction.

There is nothing honorable about cheating on one's wife, but its not a felony. I certainly have less respect for Hyde now than I did prior to this incident. However, what kind of respect can anyone maintain for our Felon in Chief? I'll ask you your own question. Do you have any standards? How do they deal with having a felon in the WH? Clinton had admitted to cheating on his wife and is obviously guilty of perjury and probably obstruction as well. He affirmatively lied while wagging his finger at the American people, an act he claimed himself (circa 1974) should cause a President to resign. So tell me, should he resign or should we just wink at the whole thing and shrug our collective shoulders? What do we tell our children? Aspire to grow up to be President someday and you'll be able to lie with impunity as well? JLA

If you go had bothered to read his note, he did not call Hyde an honorable man. He had said Hyde "was doing an honorable job". It shouldn't bother one supporting an dishonorable executive, such as Clinton, performing a dishonorable job. Good article in Barron's today about the false Social Security "surplus" and the increasing debt.
