Since we live under a Constitution and that is what makes America better than so many other systems in the world or in history; you appearently don't have any respect for this Constitution or the rule of law. The rule of law is that a person is innocent until proven guilty and this President is going to be found NOT GUILTY by the Senate this coming week. Our legal system doesn't say that a person is guilty if one or two out of 12 jurors think his is guilty. The fact is that you libel the President by calling him a felon and if he were a private citizen; he could sue you for that. If he were GUILTY under our rule of law; he could not run for office again or vote; all things Clinton will be able to do in the future. You ignore the rule of law.

Let's wax depressive for a moment. Face one or two simple facts jla. This president does represent the mainstream. The vast majority of people in corporate America do think his behavior is not only ok (inpite of what they say) it represents them. One theory of why slavery was able to thrive in the south even though actual slave owners were a minority is that the white trash population were plantation owning wannabees. The majority of the people in the US today are liar in chief wannabees. I've been talking around with my corporate friends. This "Ok we don't approve of his personal behavior but he's doing a good job" public comment is BS. Most people would be thrilled to have the opportunity to behave exactly like him. Take the clintonistas here as an overly outspoken example. The mainstream elected him, still likes him, and wants to see this type of culture continue in the future. The question now is (1)what have we begotten and (2)where can I get off?
