    The sexual liberation!

    BJ's don't count as sex. And, you can get away with being a sexual predator. What's not to like?

    Yep. A generation that grew up knowing it mostly as ". . . that" (as in, "he wants me to do ... that. Ugh") was now finding a new lease on life.

    Utter nonsense. There's a huge difference. The reason I, and plenty others, liked Clinton did not have a goddamned thing to do with him playing the sax, Arsenio, being "hip", baby boomers or any of that other image-managed crap. Instead it was simply because he was a good president who made fiscally responsible decisions and had sound policies that helped give us an era of prosperity and unprecedented international standing.

    Whereas with Palin there really is no basis for liking her for substantive reasons that go beyond the image-crafted bullshit, because there is NO substance beyond that, as she's never done anything well that actually matters. The superficial bullshit is all she has to sell.

    Yeah, and who cares if he sexually assaulted & raped women, and then put pressure on them to lie, and to file false affidavits.

    What was worth discussing from that interview? The hardest-hitting question was, "Do you think you're being targeted because you're Christian?"

    It was a blatant attempt to change the subject and turn a filthy kid toucher into the "real victim." Complete with a fundamental misunderstanding of modern society and the English language by "Jim Bob" and others.

    Just because it applies to you doesn't make it fact.

    So, tell me why no one cares?

    Seriously?

    Not enough evidence? LOL.

    Numerous credible complaints. Others cowered or paid into silence.

    We know he pressured women to file false affidavits. We know he lied under oath. We know he paid Paula Jones $850,000.

    But, yeah, let's all believe Mattress Girl, and Rolling Stone, but not these women.

    Funny how that works.

    I don't know what you mean by this. Can you explain precisely what you mean by "it"?

    and how does any of this relate to what is being discussed here or any of the countless other threads you obsess over it on?
