Mark,

Please provide an example of when a Republican politician anywhere mentioned Clinton's sexual acts in the Oval Office during the last election. I don't remember that subject coming up in any Presidential debate or campaign speech. Please provide specifics.

I think if anyone is stuck in Clinton land, it is the democrats. They are still trying to defend actions that are undefendable. The Republicans seem to have put it behind them. Clinton is no longer in office so he really isn't of much importance in the political landscape.

What Clinton did was wrong. If he would have come clean and admitted what he did instead of lying to the country and to the grand jury, I would have had a lot more compassion for him. And what is worse is that he had his wife out lying for him too. That shows total disrespect for her.

It would be pretty naive to think that no President in history has had an extra-marital affair. Unfortunately, President Clinton got caught with his pants down and lied about it. Much like Richard Nixon (a Republican who actually resigned from the White House to save the country anymore humiliation), the lies were worse than the crime.

Mr. Civile,

If you don't like D's or R's, might I then recommend one of the dozens of other political parties?

You say, "The Democrats are responsible for allowing Bush to be "elected" in the first place."
I think the "responsibility" for this belongs to the voters who chose him in a free election held in a democratic country.
What's more, the voters prevailed despite the voter fraud and ballot-box stuffing antics of the Dems.

Here's a clue for the Democrats: We ain't buyin' what you're sellin'.

"Much like Richard Nixon (a Republican who actually resigned from the White House to save the country anymore humiliation), the lies were worse than the crime."

Corrections to two revisionist falsehoods:

Nixon resigned ahead of impending impeachment, and Ford's pardon (signed with one hand while holding his nose with the other) spared him serious legal consequences. There was nothing noble about Nixon's resignation.

The lies paled in comparison to his crimes and those of his advisors.

If it's a hero he wants, mr. t could do much better than Nixon.

Mr t,
The author of the letter did not state that any politician brought up Clinton during the election. Moreover, your tirade at his letter essentially proves his point.

Sorry Bob. Maybe I read between the lines a little on that one. He did say that the Republicans 'used his dalliance as a rallying point'. I guess I assumed if they were using it to rally that meant they were talking about it somewhere. I'm not sure what other meaning he had in mind.

Secondly, I don't think I went on a 'tirade'. If there was a tirade, I would attribute that to Mr. Civile. Nixon isn't my hero. He was a point by Mr. Civile. In fact, I did the opposite. He made the point that the Republicans were using Clinton's affair as a rallying point. I said that the Republican politicians could hardly care about that anymore and proved it by not bringing it up during the latest series of election.

I somewhat agree with Mr. Civile's comments that the democrats have not confronted the whole Clinton episode. That's because they were trying to make it as unimportant as possible so their leader wouldn't be impeached. Now that Clinton is out of office, I really see nothing left to confront. Who cares at this point?

The truth is out. People know it. And they'll judge how important it is.
