Yes, Clinton and Foley are not comparable as far as the sex stuff goes. What I find a little tough to swallow, no pun intended, is that the entire Republican party is being implicated with Foley's issue, but the whole Democratic party wasn't implicated with Clinton's matter.

What bugs me about Clinton is that he lied under oath and then went on TV and lied to the entire American public. Does he really think we are complete morons? Granted, Bush might or might not have lied to the public, because lying takes actual knowledge that what you are saying is false. Clinton knew what he did with Monica because he was actually there.

Yeah, Clinton was for the "working man", but what exactly did he do for the working man? Bush has given more tax cuts to the working man than anybody I know of in recent history, with maybe the exception of Reagan. Also, Bush made it so the "working man" could start his own business with the tax cuts that he gave them. I know because I have a bunch of clients that took advantage of those tax cuts to start their own business, me included.

It is really easy to say that Democrats are for the "working man" and/or the poor, and that Republicans are for big business. It is also too easy to say that Democrats are against the Second Amendment and Republicans are for the Second Amendment. Too easy to say Democrats are pro choice and Republicans are pro life.

Let's work on electing honorable, knowledgeable, and common sense people to office. People that will pass common sense laws like English being the primary language in the US. Just finished downloading a Form W-9 from the IRS website for a client of mine and noticed that it is offered in Spanish. The entire reason I need the form is because 11 1099's for subcontractors that my client uses were not able to be matched up to SSA records for the social security/tax ID number. Guess what, all the names are Spanish/Hispanic. How about electing some officials that take a common sense approach on immigration. We don't need people that are completely for or against anything, because then nothing gets done.

Why is it so hard to elect decent politicians? We should change the Constitution to add a clause wherein people running for office have to go through a lie detector regarding specific questions of moral turpitude.

If politics didn't disgust me and I actually thought I could make a difference, I would run for office. Don't see that ever happening though.
