Rand Paul Blasts Bill Clinton on Lewinsky
Politico ^ | Sunday, January 26, 2014 | Kevin Cirilli

Posted on 01/26/2014 8:17:56 AM PST by kristinn

Sen. Rand Paul blasted former President Bill Clinton on Sunday, saying that if Democrats want to hit Republicans for the "War on Women" they should take a look at the former president's "predatory behavior" against Monica Lewinsky.

"The Democrats -- one of their big issues is they've concocted this, 'Republicans are committing a war on women,'" Kentucky Republican said on NBC's "Meet The Press." "One of the work place laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn't prey on young interns in their office. I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this. He took advantage of a girl that was 20-years-old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that and that is predatory behavior."

"It should be something we shouldn't want to associate with people who would take advantage of a young girl. This isn't having an affair -- this isn't me saying, 'Oh, he's had an affair. We shouldn't talk to him.' Someone who takes advantage of a young girl in their office -- I mean really, and then they have the gall to stand up and say that Republicans are having a war on women? So yes, I think it's a factor. Now it's not Hillary's fault. But it is a factor in judging Bill Clinton in history."

Monica paid lip service to the head of state.

Another wasted opportunity.

Obama needs impeached for abuse
of power and shredding our constitution
and this phony is addressing the ridiculous
accusations of the left about a “war on women!”

This is just theater for the sheeple.
Ooh, look he's standing up to them!
No he's not!
He's playing us as suckers!
Just another good Republican that passes the test for being on our side
but is toothless to the cause of freedom.

This is a political back swing to put Hillary on the defensive. While she talks about a bogus Republican war on women, let’s talk about what he did to Paula Jones, an Arkansas state employee, coerced to a hotel room by state police and then Governor Bill Clinton walks in, her boss, drops his pants in front of her and demands oral sex - AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS BEHAVIOR! WTF! NO ABUSE, NO HARASSMENT! WHAT HYPOCRISY!

Hillary is a sickening liar! She stayed with that psychopath and it begs the question what would Bill have had to do in order for Hillary to leave him!!!! I am afraid to ask.

He could have been locked up for what he did to Paula Jones.

Rand Paul put a shot across her large bulbous bow, that is not going to be a cakewalk. If she is going to lecture everyone on women’s issues, let her explain what Bill Clinton did to these women and why she stayed with him after these extremely ugly predatory acts. The woman has been a complete phony, let her defend it.

.... I thought Rand Paul was a libertarian. There is absolutely nothing libertarian about sexual harassment law ....

False argument. Mr Paul was very reasonably talking to the “Democrats” — and including that of his activist interviewer — cynical hypocrisy - not to any law.

.... (missus Cli’ton gave)Billy-Bubbah a pass on adultery ....

And over many many years on such serious serial sexual predatory behavior as made her — demonstrably and unarguably incapable of standing on her own meat-locker-IQ-enabled “accomplishments” and already co-dependently and/or independently complicit in “her man’s” recidivism, systematic capital treasons, lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering and various other of his crime-family activities — also a co-serial rapist.

As in the end was/is the evil barsteward’s every cabinet member, appointee and supporter.

Including, while I’m being picky, the person who inexplicably reinstated both Cli’tons to the oligarchy and whose extended family eventually also embraced them: Mr George Walker Bush.

I get it. “For ‘tis sport to see the engineer hoisted on his own petard” and all that. Actually, Paul’s accusation was pointed towards proper behavior as opposed to legal restraints, but whenever a lawmaker publicly addresses a problem, I cringe in fear that he will next propose to fix it.

At least Monica wasn’t told to “put some ice on that”.
