You may have missed it...I try to keep my admittances of guilt and negativity regarding democrats to a minimum around here... :shade:
I think Clinton lying under oath was wrong. I also think what he did that caused the lying was wrong. For a long time I was in denial of that, until a good friend of mine hit me with the question..."How do you explain this to your kids?" I was squarely in the camp that thought it was no big deal and getting a blow job in the Oval office kind of is every political-hobbiest's dream, until that moment. I never told him that, of course, because I needed to win the argument...
When I actually tried to put together an explanation for my kids, I could not do it. It simply was wrong. Getting a hummer is sex to me. It's not right to do to your wife or family. And to lie about it under oath is wrong legally and morally. And, it does stain (so to speak) the highest office of our country in the eyes of the rest of the world.
Personally, I don't care about it, but it's wrong at the basic level, which is where I think a lot of people need to go with this particular administration. But I'll stop there.
So, you can put me in the liberal camp that does not defend the left blindly or blankly. Admitting mistakes is one of the best ways to learn more about the world and yourself.
End of sermon.
