Thread Name: BS: Opinion of Clinton???
Subject: RE: BS: Opinion of Clinton???
My opinion on the Monica thing is, since they did it in his OFFICE that WE PAY FOR while he was supposed to be WORKING (which WE ALSO PAY FOR), it sure as hell WAS our BUSINESS. If I had got caught diddling around in my office during working hours I'd be in a world of hurt and I reckon most of you would be too.

And he lied on the stand. What he lied ABOUT is silly to a lot of people but the fact remains that he PERJURED himself, which the last time I checked, was a CRIME. Little white lie or no, perjury is AGAINST THE LAW and little people go to JAIL for such.

NOW... that being said... he was a skillful statesman, which is an important quality in a world leader. He has a very down to earth quality about him, which is why I voted for him the first time. I would be perfectly happy to have him over to my house for a bowl of chili and a beer, but I would not catch myself alone with him in a room anywhere.

I was on his side on the Paula Jones thing. If I had tried to sue every man that ever made an unwanted pass at me I'd be rich enough for us ALL to retire. I mean, give me a break. He behaved badly but nothing actually happened so let's go on about our business. What did she expect going up to a man's hotel room, anyhow?

What a lot of us seem to forget is that the President is not all-powerful; but for some reason, anytime something happens here that we don't like, it's the President's fault, and we want the President to fix it, when we should be taking the Senate and the Congress to task instead.

What I really resent is Monica's celebrity status. Some of us actually WORK for a living.
