Jeffery Winkler I want to preface this by saying that I'm a Democrat. If anything, I am a partisan Democrat. However, Bill Clinton more than deserved to become the second president in American history to be impeached. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868. Richard Nixon would have been impeached in 1974 except he resigned first. Bill Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998. I'm against all adultery, but this is not about a man who has a single mistress for decades that he's deeply in love with, and he's discreet about, like Prince Charles or Mitterand. This is the president of the United States having repeated oral sex in the Oval Office with a 21 year old unpaid intern. Would you care if your 21 year old daughter was an unpaid intern in a company, and you learned that the CEO of the company, who is in his 50's and is married, was having repeated oral sex with her in his office? In addition, Clinton is a notorious womanizer, sexually harassed Paula Jones, and sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey, also in the Oval Office. In 1978, Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick. I should also point out that two congressmen, Dan Crane and Jerry Studs, were formally censured for having consensual relationships with young pages. In those cases, no one suggested that laws were broken. This is not about perjury about a non-material point in a civil suit that was dismissed. First of all, it was never ruled immaterial. That is an untrue statement that is often repeated. The case was on appeal when Clinton's people pretended it didn't exist, and then Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000, much more than she originally asked. Is that what an innocent person would have done? That was an admission of guilt. Today, there are people in prison for lying about sex in civil suits. Aside from that, what this is really about is that the president has a pattern of behavior of using his influence as president to get people to get other people to lie under oath, and paying them off to do it, in order to protect himself personally. Clinton had Vernon Jordan get Web Hubble tons of money for no work, in exchange for which Hubble would "roll over one more time" to protect Clinton. Clinton had Nate Landow tell Linda Tripp to lie about Kathleen Willey. Bruce Lindsey tried to get Tripp to lie. Clinton had Vernon Jordan get Monica a job she was not qualified for in exchange for Monica lying about her relationship with Clinton under oath. Clinton got Monica to try to get Linda Tripp to lie about Kathleen Willey. What's important is not any one example but the over arching pattern of behavior of Clinton getting people lie under oath for him. The way Clinton does all this through surrogates, Betty Currie, Bruce Lindsey, etc., showed how he gets many other people to commit a large number of felonies on his behalf. This goes directly to a misuse of presidential power because even the vice-president could not effortlessly get Vernon Jordan do stuff for him. The Clinton spinmeisters continually defend him against perjury about having sex with Monica Lewinsky in the Paula Jones deposition, trying to imply that that's the only crime he committed. That is a drop of water in the ocean of he's accused of. He committed perjury dozens of times in that deposition about dozens of aspects of his relationship with Monica, as well as dozens of other things. For instance, he committed perjury when he said that he only had sex once with Gennifer Flowers. More serious than that is getting Monica to lie under oath. For months, Monica had tried to get people at the White House to help get her a job but no one gave her the time of day. When she was subpoenaed to testify in the Paula Jones case, the wheels started moving very quickly. They tried to get her a job at the United Nations. Vernon Jones, paying staggering interest in an intern, got Monica a job. Most important, all of this was timed exactly with her signing the affidavit. Is that supposed to be a coincidence? People tend to forget that Clinton and his people committed dozens of felonies that nobody ever talks about. For instance, Clinton gave Monica gifts, and later had her give them back so the Paula Jones people couldn't get a hold of them. That's destroying evidence which is a felony. Clinton gave his deposition to the Paula Jones lawyers, and immediately afterwards, briefed Betty Currie on everything he said. The White House tried to say that he was refreshing his memory. Excuse me, he did this right after he gave his testimony. He obviously wanted to make sure her story was in sync with his. That's witness tampering, which is another felony. You had this situation before he admitted his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. After he admitted it, it can not be described as anything other than witness tampering. In addition to all of the felonies associated with Zippergate, there are also Clinton scandals that have nothing to do with it. There is Filegate in which over 1000 FBI files were illegally obtained by the Clinton Whitehouse. In Watergate, a man went to jail for obtaining one file. You have Chinagate. The Pentagon told Clinton that national security had been breached, and after that Clinton signed the waver allowing more rocket launches, because the leader of Laurall was the biggest contributor to the Democratic National Committee. That goes directly to national security. In addition, there is the campaign finance scandal. What's more serious than any group of scandals is the criminal mentality at the White House. Dick Morris said the White House controls secret police. They have private investigators, paid for with tax payers money, investigating people. They intimidate people, and blackmail women to keep quiet. See how in Travelgate, how they sicked the IRS on that guy, Billy Dale? That may not be important in itself, but it provides a window into how the Clinton administration regularly operates on a daily basis. People involved in Filegate said that they got the files specifically for Clinton. However even if you assume that Clinton had nothing to do with it, it begs the question as to how these guys were able to so casually and easily get a hold of 1000 FBI files, how they were able to continue to do this over a years time, who hired these guys and why, and why were they so comfortable committed such outrageous felonies under everyone's nose in the White House. The White House illegally released Linda Tripp's personal files. All of this may not be important in and of themselves but all together paint a frightening portrait of how this White House operates. People trivialize this, saying you would bring down a president over a sex scandal. You could trivialize Watergate in the same way. You could say that it was just a third rate burglary by these clowns, and Nixon didn't know anything about it. You wouldn't expect that to cause a president to resign. Any one aspect of Watergate sounds trivial, stealing psychiatric records, etc. However Watergate wasn't about any one thing. It was about finding out how Nixon conducts himself as president. It was about finding out the sort of man he is. Do you want someone like that to be president? The Clinton scandals are not about any one thing. It's about finding out how he conducts himself as president. It's about finding out what sort of man he is. Do you want someone like that to be president? There were people out to get Nixon before Watergate. Does that imply that Nixon was innocent? At one point, Clinton spinmeisters tried to imply that Monica wrote the talking points all by herself. That is the intellectual equivalent of saying that Vince Foster was murdered. Anyone who would suggest that's possible, has not read the talking points. They contain legalistic and White House jargon. Someone who had input into them had comprehensive knowledge of the Paula Jones case and Clinton's legal risks. It sounds like a lawyer told Monica what to say, and she wrote it down. The talking points refer to Monica without using her name, or using the pronoun "I", but an unspecified person stalking the president. Does that sound like Monica talking? At one point in the talking points, Monica tells Tripp to say, that she, Monica, was "stalking" the president. Monica wouldn't say that if it were in her best interest. It would definitely not be in her best interest. Someone would have to get her to say that. It would have to be someone who had great influence over her. It would have to be someone in who's interest it would be. To me, it's obvious that someone at the White House suggested this to Monica. Some of the language in the talking points in similar to that used else where by Clinton's friend Bruce Lindsey. Although Clinton supporters hate to do this, just step back and think for a second. The talking points were a culmination of Monica harassing Linda Tripp for months, trying to get her to lie about the Willey incident. Why would Monica Lewinsky, all by herself, be absolutely obsessed with trying to get Linda Tripp to lie about Clinton sexually assaulting Kathleen Willey? Why would she care about that? I want to get back to the initial points. Let's say it came out that Dwight Eisenhower was having repeated oral sex with a 21 year old unpaid intern while physically inside of the Oval Office. Let's say most people believed he did do this. Would people at that time say that the economy is good, he's a nice guy, so we shouldn't care about that? If it had come out that George Bush was having repeated oral sex with a 21 year old unpaid intern while physically inside the Oval Office, would people say, "How dare you care about that! How dare you care about his private life!" You forget that when the Monica Lewinsky story first broke, people reacted with the horror you would normally expect. Non-partisan people assumed that he would have to resign immediately. Sam Donaldson said that he'd be out in a week. Tim Russert furrowed his brow, and said, "This is very serious!" Mark Shields predicted that Democrats on the Hill would support impeachment so they could have an incumbent Gore, while Republicans would oppose it so keep a hobbled disgraced Clinton in office. It wasn't just the talking heads that reacted that way. According to the polls, the majority of people said that if the relationship was true, he should resign immediately, even if he didn't break a single law, but that it was so horrible, it couldn't be true. I vividly remember a Clinton spinner on TV, bragging that only a third of Americans wanted him to resign immediately even if he didn't break a single law. I thought, "My God! A full third of Americans want him to resign immediately!" Clinton refers to his relationship with Monica as his "private life". It is not private because he's doing it with an intern in the Oval Office, and then he lied about it, both under oath, and on TV to the American people. I'm against all adultery, but this is not normal adultery. This is the president of the United States having repeated oral sex with a 21 year old intern while physically inside of the Oval Office. If a CEO of a company did this with an intern, he'd be fired immediately. If a college teacher did it with a student, he'd be fired immediately. Clinton took advantage of a young girl who had a crush on him. Monica was slightly older than Chelsea. How would Clinton react if he learned that one of Chelsea's teachers was having repeated oral sex with her in his office? According to federal guidelines, federal employees are not allowed to have consensual sexual relations with other federal employees under them in the hierarchy. Violations are cause for dismissal. The reason is because if a woman's boss makes a pass at her, how easily can she say no? Why should we have a lower standard for the president than anyone else? Let's not forget that we're not talking about normal sex but gross disgusting perverted acts. The only presidents this century for whom it's possible to imagine them having ever had oral sex ever in their entire lives is Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton. NBC said that Clinton and Monica engaged in "unusual sexual practices". FOX news said that they engaged in "activities that most Americans would describe as unusual". Newsweek said that when people learn of what Clinton and Monica actually did, "they'll want to throw up". According to Monica's testimony, this happened not only in the small room adjacent to the Oval Office but the actual Oval Office itself. The Oval Office is a sacred location, like Mount Rushmore. the Liberty Bell, the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, etc. Why did Clinton have to do it there? Couldn't he go up to the living quarters? This is the first time sex of any type has taken place in the Oval Office. Also, this was taking place in the work place. I almost get the impression that people would be more shocked and offended if he was having oral sex with Hillary in the Oval Office. If Clinton was telling racist jokes in private, would people say, "How dare you care about that, that's his private life." Also, don't forget that Clinton's sexual misconduct includes nonconsensual behavior such as Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick. Clinton's supposed mea culpa on Aug. 17 was so weak. He admitted to only that the relationship was "not appropriate", which could mean he spent to much time with her, or was to good of friends with her. He said that in the deposition, his answers were "legally accurate". He said in that deposition that he couldn't remember being alone with her, never gave her gifts, and never had an affair with her. He said that her affidavit was accurate. Is he standing by that? He said that he "misled people" and "gave a false impression". That is an understatement. He committed perjury, and then wagged his finger and told a bold faced out right lie to the American people. He dismissed his actions as a "lapse in judgment", implying that for a fraction of a second, he had an uncharacteristic lapse in judgment. In reality, that is his normal self. He should try to change his real self. Another remarkable piece of arrogance was that shortly after he gave his little mea culpa, he compared himself to Nelson Mandela. A similar irrational statement was when right after Clinton became the second president to be impeached, Al Gore said that Bill Clinton will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents in history. Shortly after he was impeached, he was asked how he felt about it, and he said, "not bad". Later during his Senate trial, he said it was "the greatest day of his life". Earlier Clinton said that he would have "the most ethical administration in history". Betty Currie racked up $100,000 worth of legal bills solely because Clinton stuck to a lie for seven months. Is that fair to her? Was it fair to Paula Jones for Clinton to lie in her case? Was it fair to the other interns that Monica was getting special treatment, high level people getting a job for her, etc? Was it fair to Pam Parson that she literally went to prison for lying about sex in a civil suit while Clinton did the exact same thing in addition to a large number of much worse crimes, and not only didn't go to jail, but wasn't even removed from the presidency? Was it fair for the Clinton Justice Department to prosecute Barbara Battalino for lying about sex in a civil suit? I've never understood anyone criticizing Linda Tripp. Monica was trying to get her to lie under oath which is a felony. She was trying to get Tripp to commit a felony. If she went public, they would just deny it. What would you do if you were in that situation? You would want to record the felony taking place so they couldn't deny it. It was exactly the same as the guy who taped the Rodney King beating. Nobody says that guy was evil because he was taping the officers beating Rodney King without their knowledge. Yet that's essentially what some people say about Linda Tripp. People say it was all right to tape the Rodney King beating because it was evidence of a crime. You have the same situation with Linda Tripp. People say it would be to traumatic to remove the president. It would be more traumatic to not remove the president. If Clinton isn't impeached, you'll have a guilty person unpunished. It will be exactly the same as when O. J. walked out of the courtroom with a big smile on his face. Just ask yourself these questions. Why did Monica lie on the affidavit? Why did Vernon Jordan get her a job? Why were those two things timed exactly? Why did they try to get her a job at the U. N.? Why did Monica give the gifts back? Why was Monica trying to get Linda Tripp to lie about the Kathleen Willey incident? Why did Web Hubbell get a ton of money for no work? Why did his wife say she was getting "the squeeze play" from the White House? Why did Betty Currie retrieve gifts that were subpoenaed? How did Hillary's billing records, which were subpoenaed, suddenly appear on a table in the living quarters of the White House after they had been missing? Why did Clinton go over his perjured testimony with Betty Currie before she testified? Remember that Nixon was elected twice, and you could trivialize Watergate in the same way, it was just a third rate burglary, etc. Right now, Clinton's personal approval rating is only 40%. Only about 20% of people say they trust or respect him. In 1974, Clinton said, "No question that an admission of making false statements to government officials is an impeachable offense". If a normal person did what Clinton did, they'd be in jail. Yet with Clinton, people say even if he did all that, not only should you not put him in jail, you should even remove him as president. Simply not being president is a much milder punishment than going to jail. Therefore the amount of evidence that would trigger than much milder punishment should be much less. It should be much easier to get a very mild punishment, simply not being president, than to get a much more severe punishment, going to jail. Yet some Clinton supporters act like it should be more difficult to get the milder punishment. Remember that having a sexual relationship with Monica is less than a millionth of one percent everything immoral or illegal that Clinton has done, and that all by itself would get anyone else fired. Also, I get the impression that a lot of people haven't read the Constitution. They act like impeachment means he'd be removed from office. Impeachment is nothing more than deciding that you will later decide whether or not to remove him. If you impeach him, then after that, you'll decide whether or not to remove him. Therefore I don't consider mere impeachment to be to radical of an idea. Bill Clinton only admitted the sexual relationship when DNA tests came back positive. Before they knew about the dress, he planned to destroy Monica, saying she was a stalker. When he coached Betty Currie, he said, "She came on to me, right?" Bill Clinton in not contrite. Bill Clinton is the only president to have committed perjury in front of a federal grand jury while in office, and he did this immediately after all his friends and supporters pleaded for him not to. Clinton got Monica to commit perjury. He got Monica a job in exchange for lying under oath. He got Monica and Betty Currie to hide the gifts. The cell phone records prove that it was Betty who called Monica. He coached Betty Currie, a good woman, to lie under oath, saying, "We were never alone, right? She came onto me, right?". You have the pattern of behavior of both Monica and Web Hubbell being bribed to lie. Bribery is one of the few things mentioned explicitly in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment. He sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey, and then intimidated her to keep quiet. A large number of women, Dolly Kyle Browning, etc., were intimidated and threatened into silence. Why was Monica trying to get Tripp to lie about the Kathleen Willey incident? Aside from all that, I believe that the original sexual misconduct all by itself would be impeachable. Bill Clinton had a very young girl working for him suck his penis in the Oval Office while he was simultaneously on the phone to Congressmen discussing sending U.S. troops into harm's way in Bosnia. How would you feel if you learned this, and you were an American soldier in Bosnia, and you yourself could be court marshaled for mere adultery all by itself. Not only that, but you could actually be court marshaled for nothing more than verbally criticizing Clinton for anything he's done. Keep in mind that Nixon was going to be impeached for the actions of his subordinates. There is more than enough to impeach Clinton. Most people know nothing about the scandal, so the polls shouldn't prevent Congress from fulfilling their constitutional duty. I say this as a loyal Democrat. There are very telling things that have been glossed over. Matt Drudge showed a videotape that had been filmed at the White House in which Clinton jogs with a bunch of teenagers, and then signs autographs in the Oval Office. Afterwards, Clinton goes into the infamous hallway with one girl. There is zero doubt in my mind that he was engaging in lewd acts with that other girl. What is on the tape is absolutely identical with what Monica described he did with her. With both Monica and the other girl we see on tape, Clinton is with a bunch of young people, such as when Monica was at the pizza party. Then everyone leaves except Clinton and one girl. Clinton says to the girl, "You can leave this way", and points to the hallway, even though it is not a way out. Then they both go in, and Clinton props the door slightly open so he can hear if anyone is coming. The girl on the tapes flirts with Clinton, shaking her breasts at him, in way similar to how Monica did. Clinton asks, "When's my next appointment", just as they were going in the infamous hallway. Clinton tells the girl, "There are towels in here", even though they already had towels in the Oval Office. The similarity with Monica is so striking. The girl even looks like Monica. The girl on the tape never heard of Monica since it happened earlier. Monica never heard of this other girl since the tape was released after she gave her grand jury testimony. Ken Starr's report was released, containing an account of Monica's relationship with Clinton. Drudge thought it was similar to the tape, and played the tape. After he played the tape, Monica's grand jury testimony was released, and it turned out that what Clinton did with the other girl was far more similar to what he did with Monica than Drudge could have imagined when he played the tape. The main difference seems to be that this girl was much younger than even Monica, probably about 16 years old. During the Rodney King beating, L. A. police chief Darrell Gates claimed that the only time L. A. cops beat up a black man, there just happened to be a guy there with a videocamera. What is the likelihood of that? What is the likelihood that Bill Clinton did lewd acts in the Oval Office with only two young girls, one of which just happened to be secretly taped by a friend of hers while talking about it, and the other was videotaped going into the hallway alone with Bill Clinton? What is the likelihood of that? In many ways, the Clinton scandal was similar to the O. J. trial. Both involved overwhelming evidence that previously popular people did horrible things. For seven months, Clinton's minions said that Clinton did not have a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, which sounded as ridiculous as saying that O. J. Simpson was innocent. Both of their supporters acted like the accused's denials proved their innocence. When Monica lived in Washington, she lived at the Watergate Hotel, which gave its name to the last potential impeachment of a president, literally right next door to Bob Dole. When she was at home in L. A., she lived near O. J. Simpson, and Bob Dole's running mate used to shower with O. J. Simpson. Both Clinton and O. J. are notorious womanizers, have taken drugs, are/were married to enablers, are surrounded by obsequious sycophants, and are painfully arrogant without trace of remorse. Both were proven guilty by DNA tests. Both are popular with blacks. Both were acquitted by juries who knew they were guilty. O. J. was accused of having raped Nicole, so both Clinton and O. J. may be rapists. O. J.'s lawyer Alan Dershowitz said that the people against Clinton were "pure evil". The main difference is that O. J. killed two people. That's a big difference because O. J. only murdered two innocent people whereas Clinton murdered several hundred innocent people. Right wing crazies love to accuse Clinton of murdering his best friend Vince Foster, which is as off the wall as claiming that a UFO crashed at Roswell. Unfortunately, both Fiske and Starr had to waste time disproving it. The irony is Bill Clinton really did murder innocent people, not one or two but several hundred. When Monica Lewinsky gave her grand jury testimony, Clinton decided to knock it off as the lead story by firing missiles into Sudan and Afghanistan. Clinton made up a fake story that he was firing missiles into Sudan to destroy a chemical weapons plant. This was proven false. There wasn't a shred of evidence that chemical weapons had ever been produced at the plant, and Clinton knew it. He fired missiles into Afghanistan ostensibly to kill a bunch of terrorists gathering for symposium. This was also proven false. No such meeting took place, and Clinton knew it. He also claimed to fire missiles into Afghanistan to destroy a base run by terrorist Osama Bin Laden. However, this base was composed of many small building covering a large area, against which missiles would be ineffective. The wealthy Osama Bin laden could easily rebuild the buildings, and hire people to replace those killed. The real reason Clinton did this was to get Monica's grand jury appearance off the front pages. This conveniently overlooks the fact that about a hundred people were killed in these two missile attacks. Unfortunately, this was only a mere precursor to what was to come. The vote for impeachment on the floor of the House was scheduled for Dec. 17. Clinton knew that on that date he would become the second president in history to be impeached. He was desperate to prevent it or delay it. He was so desperate, he was dangerous. The day before he shocked the world by suddenly launching a massive military attack, without the slightest provocation, against America's favorite enemy, Iraq. The supposed rationale was that Saddam Hussein wasn't cooperating with U. N. inspectors. However, he never had in the past, so why would that suddenly cause an American attack at this time? Several times previously, people advocating attacking Iraq, and Clinton was always reluctant to do so. Then all of a sudden, Clinton launches a massive attack even though Saddam was more cooperative at that instant than he had been many times previously when Clinton did nothing. Why would Clinton suddenly start a war with Iraq on the day before he was going to be impeached instead of a few months earlier, a few weeks earlier, a few days earlier, or a few days later? The obvious answer is that was the day before he was going to be impeached. Clinton's toadies actually claimed that it was a sheer coincidence that he attacked everyone's favorite enemy the day before he would be impeached. He hoped he look presidential, get everyone to rally around the flag and himself, and maybe change some congressmen's minds about impeachment. If not nothing else, it would delay impeachment because for some reason you couldn't spoil everyone exuberant jingoistic glee at slaughtering innocent people with something unpleasant like impeachment. Of course, the rain of American missiles on Iraq did nothing to harm Saddam Hussein in the slightest. He doesn't care if we kill his people. He kills his own people so why would he feel bad about that. If anything, our attacks strengthen him since he can paint himself as a victim, and us as the villain. However, the crucial point is that when Clinton attacked Iraq, he killed several hundred innocent Iraqis. These are completely innocent people who oppose Saddam Hussein. Clinton knew they'd be killed, and their deaths would probably help Saddam. He chose to do it anyway, thinking it would be so popular, it might save him from impeachment. Bill Clinton deliberately murdered several hundred completely innocent people, including children, in the vain futile hope that it might prevent his impeachment. George Bush killed at least 100,000 Iraqis so Americans wouldn't have to pay so much for gasoline, and to restore one of the only absolute monarchies on the planet. Even though Clinton killed fewer innocent people than George Bush, not a strong statement, in some ways I think it's actually even worse because his reason for doing it had a personal selfish quality that George Bush's did not. Also once Clinton quoted a president character from a movie, I think played by Michael Douglas, talking about innocent people being killed when the president takes military action, so Clinton was very much aware of what he was doing. He's probably contemplated this more than Bush did which makes his actions worse. It's like when he allowed a mentally retarded man to be executed in Arkansas during the 1992 campaign, or when he vetoed the partial birth abortion ban. He's not against taking human life under questionable circumstances as long as it might benefit him politically. With the campaign finance scandal, they would lead infamous Chinese thugs into the Oval Office, such as a notorious Chinese arms dealer, and the daughter of a high ranking Chinese general, and tell Clinton that these are big contributors to the Democratic Party. Clinton knows it's illegal to accept campaign contributions from foreigners. How does he dance out of that? It would be equally illegal to accept contributions from British people, but there's something worse about being bought by a tyrannical regime such as China. We have Clinton on tape talking about using soft money as a loophole. Clinton acted like that was just something going on at the DNC, but he was involved in every aspect, from raising the money to writing the campaign ads. Unfortunately, Clinton's involvement with China is much deeper than that. Clinton signed a waiver to allow Laurall to launch Chinese satellites. In the process, Laurall gave secret U. S. missile technology to China. The Pentagon told Clinton that national security had been compromised. Secretary of state, Warren Christopher told Clinton not to sign another waiver. Despite that, Clinton went ahead and signed another waiver for Laurall. Why did he do this? It just so happens that the leader of Laurall had contributed one million dollars to the DNC. It is terrifyingly easy to conclude that Clinton was allowing U. S. military secrets to be given to the tyrannical Chinese regime in exchange for money. This could easily be construed as treason which another one of the few things explicitly mentioned in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment. Also, the Chinese have given weapons technology to Pakistan triggering a new nuclear arms race on the Indian subcontinent. What blows my mind away is the way the Clinton spinmeisters use the fact that he's a sexual predator as some sort of defense. He sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey in the Oval Office. Not only that, he chose to do it when she was at her most vulnerable, when she was pleading for a job, as opposed to some other time. Why did he choose that instant as opposed to either earlier or later? He goes after women that he has power over. Paula Jones was a state employee, he was governor, and he reminded her that he knew her boss. Monica was a lowly young intern, and he was president. He meticulously cultivated a crush within Monica for him so she would do lewd acts with him. He did these gross acts with her the very first time he met her, and she wasn't even sure he knew her name. The only difference between Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky is that Monica agreed and Paula did not. With Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey, it took place in the work place on the job. Anyone else doing these things in their office, on the job, with a subordinate or someone seeking a job, would be fired. Anyone else in any other job who did nothing more than oral sex with a subordinate in their office, on the job, would be fired instantly, even if no one accused them of breaking the law, and even if they weren't married. Before Clinton, no one would have ever suggested that they shouldn't be fired instantly. Also, don't forget that the Clinton Justice Department chose to prosecute Barbara Battalino for nothing more than perjury about consensual sex in a civil suit that was dismissed. Compare that to the vast conspiracy of obstruction of justice that Clinton engaged in, with perjury in front of a grand jury, getting Monica a job in exchange for lying, coaching his secretary, hiding the gifts, etc. Judges have been impeached and removed for nothing more than perjury. Somebody killed Kathleen Willey's cat, slashed her tires, and then threatened her to keep quiet about when Clinton sexually assaulted her in the Oval Office. Clinton had consensual relationships with Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning, and then he set out to destroy them when they went public. Dolly didn't even want to go public, but Clinton's people were under the mistaken impression that she might, so her own brother, who was a Clinton supporter, told her, "We will destroy you!" Clinton had a consensual relationship with former Miss America, Elizabeth Ward Gracen. Later, people threatened her to keep quiet. Former Miss Arkansas, Sally Perdue also had a sexual relationship with Clinton. Later, Clinton's thugs tried to both bribe and threaten her to keep quiet. They threatened to break her legs. A flight attendant named Christine Zercher says he fondled her breasts against her will. Clinton, without warning, showed his penis to Paula Jones, and told her to "kiss it". There is strong evidence that Clinton actually raped a woman. In 1978, he brutally violently brutally raped Juanita Broaddrick, who was working on his campaign for governor. Immediately after it happened, she told four people that Clinton had raped her. Norma Rogers found her lying on the bed sobbing, her lip bleeding from where Clinton had bit her. Norma treated the injures she suffered in the attack. How ardent feminists can so enthusiastically support the only rapist to be president is beyond my comprehension. These are the same people who previously said that a consensual sexual relationship between a high level and low level employee constituted sexual harassment. Clinton's strongest supporters are feminists who were appalled that Clarence Thomas was allowed to be on the Supreme Court when he was never accused of doing anything more than making lewd comments. They marched on Washington, and said that Clarence Thomas was unfit to be on the Supreme Court because he had told dirty jokes in the workplace a decade earlier. The blind devotion that feminists and other liberals have for Bill Clinton is beyond anything I've ever witnessed. Alec Baldwin said that Ken Starr and his family should be dragged out into the street and stoned to death. Clinton had zero emotional feeling for any of these women at any time, using them only to satisfy his lust. He is more than willing to denigrate any destroy any woman than goes public. When the Monica story first broke, he said that she was stalker who threatened to falsely accuse him of having sex with her. He often selects women who are young, vulnerable, or that he has economic power over. He is more than willing to force himself on women against their will. Nobody ever accused any former president, Kennedy, Johnson, or Harding of any such thing. No current member of Congress has ever been accused of anything like this. In 1988, Clinton told Dolly Kyle Browning that he suffers from a sex addiction. I actually think that he suffers from some sort of psychological problem. If a Republican president did anything like this, or even just did lewd acts with a young intern in the Oval Office, the feminists would be demanding that he be put in a straight jacket in a prison for the criminally insane, for sex offenders. However, in this case, the feminists and all of the Clinton spinmeisters use the sexual nature of the underlying facts of the impeachment, as some sort of defense against the serious crimes of perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, hiding evidence, and abuse of power, the facts of which they do not actually dispute. It's like it's all right to commit dozens of serious felonies if and only if you are also a sexual predator and sex offender, otherwise it would not be all right.
