The Gennifer Flowers tape of Clintoon telling her to lie about their affair, even under oath, using your approach.
Bush and his Administration wanted nothing to do with this issue, VP wanted nothing to do with this issue, the Republican Party wanted nothing to do with this, former campaigns wanted nothing to do with it. Quayle wanted nothing to do with it and said he was looking forward to working with the future President Clintoon, our own conservative media wanted nothing to do with this, FReepers here on this board wanted nothing to do with it, the FBI wanted nothing to do with it and saw no crime being committed, our own venerated Electoral College system wanted nothing to do with it, and the Supreme Court wanted nothing to do with it.
Now, did that make it right? NO! In the end, was Gennifer Flowers proven right, along with Paula Jones, who also got no support from the usual suspects quoted above? YES! Is this issue similar in that it can bring down the oncoming president? YES. So what is your FReeping problem?
You said — “Now, did that make it right? NO! In the end, was Gennifer Flowers proven right, along with Paula Jones, who also got no support from the usual suspects quoted above? YES! Is this issue similar in that it can bring down the oncoming president? YES. So what is your FReeping problem?”
Well..., for one thing, you should know (if you’ve been involved in politics) that politics is not about setting moral standards — but more about “getting things done” that the voting public will approve. That’s just politics for you and you can’t make it any different than what it is, if you have a bunch of people “voting” for representatives. That’s what you get when you pull in the “populace” and tell them that they’ve each got a vote... LOL..
If you want moral standards, go to the Bible. That’s where I find them. I also find that the Bible says that the people choose and deserve the fools for leaders that they want. That is probably the case here. It’s not a “moral standard” that you’re going to get out of this “voting” by the populace... You should understand that by now.
SECONDLY — if you look — *very specifically* about *what is wrong* here, you’ll see that it’s *not* Obama that is “wrong”. That may sound strange to hear that — but think about it — what *went wrong*???
The actual *wrong* here — is — the vetting process is deficient and failed us. Obama is not the “wrong” in this matter — but in the spirit of the “founding fathers” — they never depended upon “man” to provide the “right” in the situation — but rather — they depended upon the *process* to provide the right — because they knew that all men are sinful and therefore cannot be depended upon.
THEREFORE, if we *correct the wrong* — we correct the process...
