I must have missed the part where you changed the subject header, Dan.... I believe that we were talking about whether or not Clinton's *compulsive* lying mattered, not about events of the 1980's. Indeed, don't you find this kind of moral relativism a little distastefull when you stoop to this level? How do you respond to your children when they apply this same logic - deflecting attention from their own misdeeds by pointing out the faults of a sibling? And if you respond in that way, why do you suddenly endorse this line of thought here in serious discussion? Of course, if compulsive lying and perjury don't matter - how come it only bothers you when you think that Republicans are doing it, and not Democrats? Bill Clinton was questioned under the terms of the Violence Against Women Act, which he touted and signed into law with much fanfare. Instead of following his own law, however, he fought implementation of his law at every step, and then he committed perjury. I am sure he was just "faithfully defending the laws and Constitution of the United States" when he did that. Isn't there something very troubling to our republic when our leader arbitrarily holds that his own laws don't apply to himself? Fortuantely, we saw your partisan spots in the economics threat....
