Ladies please you are being much too harsh on these infallible icons of virtue. They too have compassion, compassion for the Montana militia man's unwarranted arrest for writing bad checks to the tune of thousands of dollars, threatening public officials with death and so on. Probably compassion for those "3 fine men in Texas" now on trial for such a heinous crime, compassion for the poor NRA loading the market places for gun sales to felons(Chicago et al) and being sued and so forth. They beilieve we are all created equal which if you have ever been in a men's locker room you know is false. WE ARE MADE EQUAL UNDER THE LAW, there fore the person born with an IQ of 60 (usually a rightwinger) or a child with spinal bifida are brought into the world this way through no fault of their own and deserve and require help or as Vaughn and others have it thrown into a mass grave. They just cannot conceive of the fact that with all the hard work and dedication a Wally Cox would not make the Dolphins as a nose guard. We are born with many different abilities those with little need help--- or become lawyers. And how many hard working persons are just making it one rent increase or serious illness from being tossed in the streets. Did you hear Forbes and Quayle (2 losers) assail George Bush's stance of compassionate conservatism, give no quarter so man we really need these guys in there. Kind of tough coming off my high from last nights Shirelles concert to address these buffons, a group these guys would probably eschew because they are 3 sassy and talented black ladies who have made it big and continue to fight for women's rights, but that's just the liberal in me I guess. Ta Ta off to Naples for a week, don't miss me to much guys

<<But you see, most people are mean-spirited, selfish and greedy, and would not be as willing to "do for the needy" as you are. Which means, of course, that without those "government hand-out programs" some people would starve, or freeze to death, or die of easily treated illnesses.>> Exactly! You've defined a liberal for us again. Someone, like yourself, who is greedy and neglects the needy unless some higher authority comes along and confiscates income from those who are smarter and work harder than you. No doubt you'll be using the short form again this year.

Tell me what I'm missing here. Are you saying that just because someone is too lazy to get off their ass and get a job, that they somehow have an inherent right to what I've earned with my hard work? You sound offended that anyone would have the audacity to challenge a system that rewards sloth and ignorance while penalizing initiative and intellect. News Flash. I work to provide for myself and my family, not to support those who could support themselves but won't. Sorry sweet cheeks, but when the day comes when you can show me one legitimate reason why the workers and producers of society have a duty to support the parasites, I'll kiss your ass on Peachtree St. and give you 30 minutes to draw a crowd. You are fully aware that I'm not talking about the legitimately disabled, so don't even try to infer that this is some kind of bullshit oppression of the "underpriviliged" proletariat by the ruling class. When the government robs Peter to pay Paul, you never hear Paul complain, but when someone has the nerve suggest weaning them off of the welfare teat, they squeal like a stuck pig. I mean this in all sincerity. Get a job.

< Of course it does. Kind of makes you feel like a Lord back in medieval times, doesn't it? Riding along on your horse, wearing your fine coat and tossing coins to the peasant children; handing out a kind word to their parents and maybe even letting them touch your sleeve -- what a nice, warm, fuzzy, superior feeling.> Are you a Marxist ? What have you done in your life that remotely approaches serving in Vietnam or Somalia like this guy has ?

Rape scandal rocks Clinton Sunday Telegraph (Australia) February 21, 1999 Ian Cobain THE scandal which has secretly terrified Bill Clinton for years burst into the open yesterday when claims that he raped a woman appeared in America's most respected newspaper. He was said to be "utterly dumbfounded" that the Wall Street Journal had published the allegations. An Arkansas businesswoman, married with a grown-up son, broke 20 years of silence to tell the newspaper Mr Clinton had forced himself upon her. Juanita Broaddrick, 56, said Mr Clinton then calmly told her she did not need to fear becoming pregnant because he was sterile after having mumps as a child. "As though that was the thing on my mind. I wasn't thinking about pregnancy, or about anything," she said. "I felt paralysed and was starting to cry." The White House dismissed the claim as "ridiculous" and insisted the President was the victim of a smear campaign hatched by his political enemies. Mr Clinton's aides pointed out that Mrs Broaddrick had once signed an affidavit denying that the rape happened. But sources at the Journal responded that she did so during the Paula Jones sex harassment case, when other witnesses such as Monica Lewinsky and the President lied under oath. Mrs Broaddrick later told investigator Kenneth Starr that her affidavit was false. Last night, despondency was settling on the White House which, seven days earlier, had been celebrating Mr Clinton's acquittal at the end of the Senate sex-and-lies impeachment trial. To examine this allegation, like many others in Mr Clinton's life, it is necessary to look at events in a hotel room in Little Rock. In the summer of 1978, Mr Clinton was on the first rung of his political career, working as Attorney General for Arkansas. Campaigning for the governor's post, he visited a nursing home in the town of Van Buren and was introduced to Mrs Broaddrick, who worked there as a nurse. She was married and had an eight-year-old son, Kevin. She and Mr Clinton hit it off, and when they met again during a health conference in Little Rock, he invited himself to her room at the Camelot hotel. What occurred that night in Room 824 has been the subject of at least three secret inquiries: by investigators working for Paula Jones' lawyers, by the FBI, and by a woman police sergeant on attachment to the House of Representatives judiciary committee. At least one investigation team concluded that the President was guilty of rape. The allegation is that Mr Clinton tried to persuade Mrs Broaddrick to sleep with him. When that failed, he is said to have ripped her clothes, and bit her lip hard until she succumbed. "This is the part that always stays on my mind," Mrs Broaddrick said, "the way he put on his sunglasses. Then he looked at me and said, 'You better put some ice on that'." The report in the Journal was written by Dorothy Rabinowitz, a member of the newspaper's editorial board. Describing Mrs Broaddrick, she wrote: 'She is a woman of accomplishment, prosperous, successful in her field, serious; a woman seeking no profit, no book, no lawsuit. A woman of a kind people like and warm to.' At the time, the distraught nurse told friends she had walked into a revolving door, fearing that nobody would believe she had been raped by the man running for governor. By the time Clinton announced he was running for the White House, 13 years later, stories about his womanising were legion in Arkansas. But in 1992, rumours began to circulate suggesting he had a far darker secret. According to the gossip, Mrs Broaddrick's second husband David, to whom she has now been married for 18 years, struck a deal with Clinton to keep her silent. In return, the governor was said to have helped the couple establish a highly-profitable old people's home in Van Buren and a clinic for handicapped children in the nearby town of Fort Smith. Kenneth Starr detailed Mrs Broaddrick's allegation in his massive report to the House of Representatives judiciary committee, although details were blacked out before it was published. One House member who has seen the secret files, Florida Republican Tillie Fowler, said later: 'There are things in there that are not good. There's information there that goes to this man's character.' Last night Mrs Broaddrick told the Mail that she hoped 'the whole matter would go away' now that she had spoken about her alleged ordeal. And Clinton? 'I don't care about him at all. He is just a monster.'
