<<Mercy, I find this disgusting beyond belief.>> I can't help noticing however, the clintonites, once emboldened by the likes of Larry Flynt, have grown strangely silent on this thread. I don't believe we have finally brought convincing arguement to their brow. Its one thing to stand firm in your dependency when your pockets are full and opportunity is great. Its quite another to have 350k homeless refugies tapping at your door and a himhawing leader who doesn't have an answer. Could it be a time to ponder the reality of self in a responsible society has finally hit?

Johannes--- I am afraid you are stretching things a bit. You know as well as I that of the 42%, most don't follow the news closely, and had no firm grasp on Clinton's character, and, in any event, it is a poor fall-back from asserting that the American people endorsed his election. I disagree that withholding a certain punishment is the same as "openly endorsing". Now let's see--- the Democrats are doing their best to muddy the water about the severity of the crimes, and you expect a bunch of people who would find losing their jobs devastating to step up to the plate, despite their fear that a recession would be triggered, which the Democrats have played on, and demand that Clinton be ousted? We are going beyond common- sense, or even charity here. It is in the nature of a stable democracy that people rarely "take it to the streets"... what are you asking for? The Senate should have removed the man, but it is a political judgement, too, and it is widely understood that it is not the same as vindication...
