Liberals know about Lewinsky but nobody else. And she was consensual.

Yes and if you were around and paying attention back then (1998) you will remember the OUTRAGE of the leftie Bubba Klintoon sympathizers and sychophant worshipers of abortion at any time even after birth, that went something like this....

There is much to be said for this argument. In taking with grave seriousness Clinton’s offenses, it answers the sophistries of the President’s defenders. They insist that this whole matter is simply about sex between consenting adults and in a more sophisticated society would have remained a private matter unworthy of note except among the morally unenlightened. To which the necessary response is, first, gratitude that most Americans, while conceding any individual’s ordinary right to privacy, remain unsophisticated enough not to be indifferent to flagrant adultery once it becomes public; and, second, recognition that the matter became public because of the President himself.....

......Many conservative commentators have expressed puzzled dismay at the public’s failure to rise up in wrath over the President’s behavior. Where, they wonder, is the outrage? But perhaps the public is wiser and more discriminating in its judgments than this view suggests. To begin with, the constitutional argument that the President’s offenses require impeachment, while plausible, is not open–and–shut. A case can be made that the Founders intended impeachment for only those kinds of presidential wrongdoing that occur in the exercise of his official duties and not, as in this case, over matters related to his private life.
