Only 9 straight posts in the middle of the night, Neocon. I'm sure each equally as substantial as the one I'm responding to. A little short of the JLA record, but he usually doesn't post at 4am. Do you have any idea of the kind of response I'd get from your convivial fellow Clinton haters here if I did that? Sorry, I forget, you're not a Clinton hater, you're a Clinton despiser. Totally unemotional in your evaluation. I'm stupid, and you're not, as all the deep and civil "debaters" on the right are always letting me know.

Alarmed, heartsick and still baffled over President Clinton's acquittal by the Senate, some of his most ardent detractors have come to an extraordinary conclusion, one that may carry grim implications for the conservative movement. They blame not themselves for mishandling the whole sorry episode but a public whose moral standards have collapsed.

Their message is audacious, perhaps even arrogant: Americans just don't get it. Why can't they see we were right? . . .

"You can't shame people into changing the way they look at the world," said Dan Schnur, a Republican strategist in California. "You have to lead by example. And if the people won't follow your example, it's really not as much their problem as it is yours."
