"If you don't want responsibility for supporting the death penalty, then take responsibility for the marauding hordes of criminals being unleashed, by attitudes like yours. Your attitude is to forgive them, generous of you, since you are forgiving them for what they are doing to the rest of us. I assume you have forgiven Bill Clinton for raping Juanita too. Very considerate of you." Do you also place the Pope in this category of stupid, shameless and irresponsible folks when he makes arguments against the death penalty ? On my views of Broaddrick : To: iandiareii (39206 ) From: JBL Thursday, Mar 18 1999 6:33AM ET Reply # of 39213 This one is a moral issue Ian. If the charges are credible, as most people say they are, Clinton has a moral obligation to address them. Look, take the following situation : A Nanny you hire for your kids does a great job for you during a couple years. One day, you find out that a respectable and credible person is accusing her of beating up toddlers she had in her care 20 years ago. say that person also offers some level of proof in the form of circumstancial evidence. When you confront the Nanny, her only answer is : "I didn't do it. That was 20 years ago. No comment". What do you do then ? Well, you feel outraged by her answer and the fact that she won't try to clear up her name, and you look for a new Nanny. Clinton raping a woman when he was AG of Arkansas in my mind is absolutely similar to the Nanny beating up kids she has in her care. He is the trustee for some of the most awesome powers of the Nation, and his actions can mean life or death for thousands. People should feel outraged by his silence and demand that he gives his version of events, or resign. They haven't done so yet because the impeachment process and the vote of our senators has rendered this man's character a moot issue. I have a feeling the price of this silence is too high, and it won't last.
