The truth is, Mr. Lohrmann, you don't get it.
To put it simply:
After Clinton's lies to the people were all said and done, everybody walked
away and it became a minor embarrassment. Although many Republicans pushed
for impeachment proceedings against Clinton.
After Bush's lies to the people are all said and done, over 200+ soldiers
are buried, and we are still looking for weapons of mass destruction in
Iraq.
We could quote an old statement by (of all people) Bruce Springsteen when he
said, "Blind faith in your leaders can get you killed." But, I guess that
one death is horrible. 200 deaths is a statistic.
But, I will thank you for the link to www.radiosubversion.com. It tends to
clean up the air a little.

Amy,
It wasn't about his sex life. It was about sexual harassment.
What is it about 1. a state's chief executive exposing himself to a
low-level underling over which he could indirectly have firing authority; 2.
having sex with women under him in the White House; 3. groping women who
work for him. etc. that you don't call sexual harassment.
And THEN for feminists and the feminist minded not to speak out
against him just because he happened to have a D by his name? It's
mind-boggling.
If he hadn't been a political ally of the major feminist groups they
would have been first in line on the impeachment bandwagon for his perjury
and you know it.
At least the ARK Bar had the guts to disbar him for his crime.
And again, no one that I saw has defended W for his actions at all.
Best, TL

Feminist-minded Democrats condemned Clinton, but not because of his
sexual
behavior or his womanizing. Clinted deserved criticism from women
because
he signed a welfare reform bill that punished women and children, forced
them to work for low wages (often less than minimum wage as in New
York's
workfare programs), all without adequate funding for childcare,
education
and healthcare. Feminists were also outraged because he signed DOMA.
Clinton and Gore did enough to piss off the women who voted for them,
but we
care about more important issues than a president's sex life or whether
he
calls someone Babe.
As for lying--it is despicable that he lied, but the national discussion
of
his sex life was such an affront--another kind of cheating, and you know
it.
Po! liticians throughout this nation's history have been womanizers,
have
cheated with their interns. They drink, smoke and have a lot of sex. The
right-wing attack on Bill Clinton was a paparazzo-like attempt to make
national politics more like the Jerry Springer show. And they spent
millions of tax-payer dollars to create the spectacle.
If a leader should impeached for lying, we better start the process for
Bush
right now--he's told serious lies that have killed thousands of people.
He
lied about WMDs in Iraq, about Hussain trying to buy uranium from
Africa,
about our economy improving and about jobs being created during his
administration, about the No Child Left Behind Act working.
The Guerilla Girls have a great new poster showing that Bush is one of
the
worst threats to our national security
http://www.guerrillagirls.com/posters/womensterroralert.shtml . I hope
this time next year we are inaugurating another flawed Democrat ! to
replace
this scary Republican. I want to send Bush and Cheney life-sized pink
slips
on behalf of the thousands of workers who have lost jobs since they've
been
in office. I'd also like to draft them and stick them in Baghdad. I can
dream, can't I?

Ted,
I don't get it. I think it's ridiculuous for supposedly feminist minded
Democrats to defend Clinton's actions--so because of that I'm supposed
to
defend Bush?
Why?
Are your political views so simplistic that a person who doesn't
approve of a Democrat party president's actions must automatically be
enamored of any GOP'er president?
Or were you just upset that no one responded to your post?
By the way, your argument about! "cause a scholar said so" is
ridiculous.
Just like courtroom "experts," you can find numerous scholars on almost
any side of any issue.
Best, TL

Carl, Tim, et. al.
I posted to V2020 that Bush telling the nation lies to scare us into a
war
was worse than Clinton's lies about his sex life, yet not a peep out of
Tim
or just about anyone else that I recall on V2020.
Tim, I'd gladly accept replacing some of the "Wilson/CC" subject headed
posts with "Bush Lied" subject headed posts. But I think this focus on a
religious group that seeks to expand and gain influence over the
community
is worth the attention it is getting.
