Nixon might have lost the perks, might not have, at least he spared the country the angst of having to impeach him. Too bad the Democrat who committed perjury didn't spare us that. Before you go on about two consenting adults, let me remind you about the missle guidance technology the Clinton administration sold to the PRC, abiout a year or less before the campaign contribution picked up by Gore at that Buddist monestary (it came from WHERE?) I'm reminded of the difficulty of pinning anything on Al Capone, but they were able to prove he had money he hadn't paid taxes on. It may be hard to prove where money came from, or who knew about it, but at least Bill had to be in the same room with Monica to get himself in the jam he did, and then he lied about it, under oath. The one thing I CAN agree with you on is that the republicans in Congress have NO CAJONES!!! They had him nailed to the wall, and could have got him out before he could do anymore damage, and they let him walk! I get tired of hearing about Nixon, and Watergate, like the Democrats don't screw the American People too! All the talk about W. going to bankrupt the Social Security system... WHO controlled Congress for forty years, and raped the Social Security Trust Fund like it was thier own piggy bank? The Democrats! But they like to talk about how crooked the Republicans are. I'll tell you what Rick. Find me anyone who'll spend MILLIONS to get a job that only pays $250,000 a year, and will require more MILLIONS to keep just another four years, and I'll show you either an idiot, or a crook. But that's the system we have. The Democrats want to reform the system, but they want the unions to be exempt from the rules they want to apply to business. SURRRRE! Speaking of perks, Bills charging the federal government enough for housing for his Secret Service detail to make his house payment! at least alot of the republicans are spending alot of thier own money. Whose money are the Dems spending? I'll have to get to the October surprise later, I've already gone on a while, and I mostly can't get further back than ten years.
