I can't stand it anymore, all these freeper comments about how this is attractive to voters.
That is completely wrong. You all forget that the revelation about clinton was met initially with revulsion. if the media had wished to handle the story with one tenth the indignation they've displayed over the trumped up Bush National Guard story, clinton would have been forced out by the end of the week.
Instead they held their breath and waited for their marching orders...about 4 days elapsed if my memory is accurate,while they were at loose ends, so they muttered about possible impeachment and so on, and THEN the WH triumphantly emerged with plan in hand and delivered it to their press people and the rehabilitation was afoot.
It is dead wrong to say people admire this, but they can be convinced to rationalize, excuse and accept it if enough stories are presented to support that position.

You made my point for me.
The last thing today's Americans want is to appear unhip, or intolerant, or uptight about anything. The press and the other usual suspects will tell them it's uncool to care about who Kerry bangs when his wife's away, just as they did with Clinton. And the people will buy it.
This whole flap is useless politically, and will probably actually work in Kerry's favor.

You are right.
The last thing Hillary wants to be associated with is impeachment and interns.
Edwards can't carry the south.
This is a Dean/Gore/Clark thing. Bet on it.
They are taking out the Clintons.
Clark is a strategist - keep your friends close....
He's also getting out of the way so Dean will tap him to flesh out his military resume as he vaults past Kerry.
Only thing that remains is this - if the Clintons are behind this, why isn't the mainstream press writing about it? Because they aren't behind it.

I can't believe y'all care more about where a guy sticks his *d--* than a 200 billion dollar war w/ no WMD, Cheney's favoritism to Halliburton as ex CEO, noncompetitive contracts given away, $1 overcharge per gallon of gasoline, Jeb Bush getting a 500K writeoff for a 4.5 million deal gone bust, and all kinds of hanky panky in the Bush clan that makes Enron look tame. Apparently you think to be a good leader you can only have sex with one person for the rest of your life. Now, you mighta once been a drunk, but hey...thats okay since you found God...supposedly...
Y'all are so naive.
