"They (the pundits and so called major news media outlets) spent a LOT of the clinton reign of terror doing this in different ways-all the while tearing down our dream or hope of having respectable statesmen in our public arena. As if such a qualification, a qualification for public office that requires honor, dignity, respect, humbleness, and a general statesmanlike demeanor, was simply a unattainable dream. They were asking us to accept the sludge, instead. And accept it as a normal, as if we all live in such a clintonian realm of sociopathic relativism. They wanted us ALL to think, as you said, that we are all 'just like bill'. Horsehockey. "

You nailed it.

Does character matter? IMHO: To the liberal media the answer is simple. No. Only ideology matters

As to the 'lowering of the bar', you know I think it's really quite simple. They are using 'let he who is without sin, cast the first stone against us.'

Meaning, if we were properly grounded we would know when one should back off. For example, when someone has done wrong and repents then they confess the sin and agrees that was was done is wrong. Only God is the judge of a man's soul. Always. But we can look at behaviours and make judgements about what is right and wrong. Otherwise we could never condemn a murderer, eh?

We never had repentance with Clinton (& Condit for thatmatter) [at least that's how it looks from the cheap seats]. And admission of 'I have made mistakes' is enough pablum for the feel-gooders who don't want absolutes in their lives. Because of course we all have made mistakes... duh! But it is absolutely INSINCERE when the person making the so-called "confession" has no shame and to the point where they are still trying to do everything they can to stay in office. If they meant it then they would step down... pure and simple.

With regret comes shame (at least some measure of it). These men have no shame and thus do they have any sincere desire to repent???? You shall know them by their fruits.

And admission of 'I have made mistakes' is enough pablum for the feel-gooders who don't want absolutes in their lives.

Reminds me of the antics of that extortionist extraordinaire, ol Jessie Jackson. An apology is the blanket that makes the horror disappear (tho it festers underneath). Ya have to wonder why Jessie never refers to Martin Luther King's famous words from his 'I have a Dream' speech, the part of the dream that said he someday hoped people would be "...judged by the content of their character and NOT by the color of their skin". Ah.....the word JUDGEMENT appears here. But for liberals-to judge is akin to throwing the first stone, as you mentioned above, and it is evident that these vascillating worms want our society to refrain from ever making judgements. ( Unless, of course, such judgements involve actions taken by conservatives or Christains, etc.)

They are afraid of the absolutes which adherance almost always means making certain judgements. They do not WANT to be held to a higher standard, such a thought is repulsive to them because it would disallow their rampant desparaging of our culture, the coarsening and divisions they are working so hard to accomplish so that they can justify their heinous trend towards state control.

Allowing bill clinton to committ PERJURY while the President of the United States is proof. The constitution means nothing to them, unless it advances their agenda towards a full blown state run, cradle to grave, society. Bill Press said as much today on CSPAN.
