Well, you're way off base here. This is an atheist caricature of
many people's problems with Bill.
It is and was his compelling and striking inability to tell the
truth. The sense that you could believe nothing that came
out of his mouth.
I remember when the Juanita Broderick case came up. Someone
in Slate (as I remember) not at all a conservative, said:
"well we don't know that Bill raped her, but it sounds like
our guy".
This was earlier in the cult

t people
in national politics we're lucky, and those handful are almost universally
demonized. For example, I think Ron Paul is tells us what he believes and
would act on it. Jimmy Carter was the same way. I think Pat Buchanan is another,
and so is Ralph Nader. I don't agree with everything they believe, but I
believe they are honest and if ever in public office would do their best
to advance what they honestly thought were those ideas.
Second, and a point of order, OBL might have drawn some conclusions from
Somalia but he specifically said that it was Lebanon where he turned on the
USA. Remember (or more likely don't, since it's problematic for your binary
world) that OBL was a happy recipient of US military and logistical support
when we were bankrolling the muj against the Soviets. He even asked Prince
Bandar to thank the US for their support. But in Lebanon he saw US warships
shelling Sunni neighborhoods in Beirut and that one lethally effective suicide
bomber could drive the Americans out of that war. That was when Cowboy Ronnie
was in charge, not the Clintons. Was Bill a craven coward in the face of
gulf potentates who were in essence buying protection from OBL? Yes. Was
he, and the Democrats, unique in such cowardice? Not by a long shot.

Are you acting like that now? I hope you're wiser. Well, Bill Clinton
never got wiser.
I wouldn't cheat on my wife, and I wouldn't lie about it. I DO hold the
President to the same standard of ethics to which i hold myself.
Shouldn't I? When you get elected president you better crank it up a
notch and keep your nose clean and your eyes on the ball. It's a big
responsibility and since you asked for it you better live up to it.

------=_NextPart_000_0036_01C81677.C38B1350--Inside my head there's a chicken and an egg who are asking questions about
this.
One is saying that it's concerning that perceived visual competence appears
to play such a role. The 60+% accuracy figure may even be higher if the "judges"
actually had access to ALL the images that the voters saw, rather thanm one
presumes, just a single, possibly randomly selected image.
The other is saying that it is usually accurate in society to wander the
streets saying "Ah. Man in suit." and make a judgement about his role. "Ah,
man in overalls" etc. It is actually not altogether impossible that the person
who IS most competent may also LOOK most competent, as is reflected by the
fact that men in overalls generally look more competent than men in suits.
;o) I mean you don't generally look at a man in a suit and think "Gee, what
a slimy looking ladder climbing snake he is". ;o)
Just a thought, or two. ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.
