Yes, there is something inherently wrong with an older man who takes
advantage of his position of power and authority to exploit a young female
intern who is at the bottom rung of power. Especially when it is an office
as important as the President of the United States. Sexual exploitation
and/or manipulation does not belong in the workplace.

But you don't get that do you?

The office of the President is essentially a meaningless figurehead
position. The true minds and influential players are his/her cabinet.
I don't fault Bush directly for his failed policies. Rumsfeld, Rice,
Wolfowitz, Ashcroft etc break down the president to make these
decisions. Bush isn't evil or dangerous...he's just a pompous fool
who's out of touch with the ordinary American.

And Bill Clinton was in touch? With his gays in the military and national
health care plants (ala' Hillary).

The fact that Clinton received some sexual favors from Ms. Lewinsky
apparently helped him to perform his job quite well,

You think that the whole resulting scandal and perjury/impeachment trial
"helped" Clinton to perform his job well?

Are you feeling okay? You might be coming down with something.
Think about what you are saying.

You are talking about just the act itself. But what kind of leader
and person in a position of such great power would jeopardize
their office and career (not to mention their family)? A very short-sighted
one perhaps? One in which their libido in the short-term is much more
important than the health and welfare of their country/constituents in the
long.

What kind of leadership did the American people get from
this dishonorable scandalized man while he was tied up and busy with
lawyer, courts, interrogatories and the like?

On-the-job sexual solicitation of subordinates (and manipulation) is not
ethical or moral behavior that is fitting for any company or corporation
in America let alone the Oval Office. If you don't get this then you
are beyond help.

One thing for sure though Clinton was the Houdini who produced the
impossible-- a Republican Congress. LOL

Clinton also left behind a horrid ethical legacy. Clinton redrew the rules of
politics itself.. it used to be that if you got caught redhanded, you were
ashamed, and then you were gone. Not anymore! :^)

promoting peace
in the mideast instead of pandering to the religious right so firmly
trying to set the stage for Israel according to their interpretation
of Revelations. I'm ashamed to be of the same congregation as these
freaks.

And of course Bill Clinton was very effective dealing with terrorists after
the first World Trade Center attacks. His putting everything off onto the
office of the next President was a very strategic move.

The very same conservatives I hear spewing that garbage about libs not
getting it are the same individuals who cowardly speak about what
they'd like to do to their female co-worker/subordinate along with
their colleagues during a happy hour conversation, then going home to
their wives...hypocrital mofos.

I see. Liberal Democrats are all immune to this?

You
gotta admit, it's a lot more interesting than running a secret society
called the presidency for the past 4 years, head up by a supposedly
moral individual taking *way* too many vacations, skipping out on
National Guard service, insighting nationalistic, but mistaken for
patriotic, thoughts.

Gore "skipped out" of his tour of duty over in Vietnam. How come you
and others of your ilk never mention that fact?

What by the way are your military credentials or accomplishments?

Gore skipped out in Vietnam. There, I mentioned it. Bush skipped out
of service with the Guard in Texas. Which do you think is more
cowardly and unpatriotic?

Leaving one's fellow men behind in 'Nam. It took a lot more guts to fly
a jet than to be a Thai-stick smoking Remington raider eating ice cream
far from enemy lines because of daddy's suction...

My military accomplishments mean nothing.

Sure it does.

Never served.

It figures but you are calling implying or calling others cowards for
"skipping out"?

Proud of
being a civilian. Bush should say the same. There was nothing wrong
with doing Coke and drinking a lot. He should admit that too.

How do you know that he used cocaine? The evidence isn't there like
it was for Clinton and Gore as far as drug use. Please point me to the
appropriate DejaNews files showing your harping on these points back
in the Clinton era? Clinton didn't exactly admit to using marijuana with
his famous "but I didn't inhale" line. Nor did he admit to having a "nose
like a vacuum cleaner" for coke (but his half-brother readily admitted it.

People
would have a lot more respect for him (of course, he's lose out on a
lot of hypocritical conversative votes too)
