Subject: RE: LYRIC ADD:
HR, he lied when asked a question that he shouldn't have been asked to begin with. These people spent upwards of $60 million to ask a question that most anyone would deny. Is there any among us that could stand a 6 year, sixty million dollar investigation, to find the one question that any person would likely deny? It is ludicrous to the extreme. And before someone starts the holier than thou stuff about no one is above the law, let me point out that you canna have it both ways. One on hand our dear friends on the right say he has to be subject to the law like anyone else, and then when you point out that in civil cases like this no one is prosecuted for perjury when asked this question. Then they immediately say well he has to be held to a higher standard. Which is it, folks?
I am a liberal, and I am proud of that fact. I am a liberal on my own terms. And I find this man's behaviour to be shameful and stupid given the scrutiny he was under. But these partisan and vicious attacks by the "old boys" who just can't accept that a member of my generation, with a different view of the world than theirs, should be President. And they spent enough of our damn taxes on it to have made a helluva down payment on a program that would insure that all kids would have healthcare so they wouldn't have to go to school sick.
