Do you think really think Kennedy would have told us the "truth" of his sexual affairs if he had encountered the same type of attacks from the Republicans and the overwhelming desire of the press to promote scandals that increase viewership?
No, Kennedy would have likely followed suit of other politicians:
"I am not a crook."
"I don't remember."
"I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."
The question of lying to a grand jury is still a question of the technical definitions. I don't recall them asking him if he had a blow job.
However, in the spirit of the question, I do believe he did lie, and he should have resigned for the good of the country. If he had been a man, and acted the way a man should act when caught the way he was caught, he should have resigned on the spot. If he had done so, I firmly believe we would not have Bush in the White House today.
What Clinton did was unconscionable.
Oh, and I do completely agree that Clinton has serious issues with sex and is likely a sexual predator, and is in denial about these aspects of his personality.
What is fascinating to me is that the level of denial in the Clinton family about their addictive problems is equal to the problems in the Bush family about their problems with drug abuse and alcoholism.
Both family problems have their root in a lack of true spiritual connection, denial, rationalization, enabling, and family secrets.
It is a reflection of the moral degradation of our society that we allow such politicians to rise and stay in power, as we are such an alcoholic, drug addicted, and sexually addicted society that to confront our politicians on these issues would require we really confront ourselves on these issues.
The country remains collectively in denial, and the leaders simply reflect that back to the people.
It is a national disease, a national family problem, family secrets, and the families of the United States are in need of recovery.
The rampant growth of capitalism at any price in this society is inversely proportional to the retardation of real spiritual values.
Quote from Pabst:
I thought impeachment was an over the top reaction, However it had nothing to do with sex. I could care less if the Prez gets laid. I criticize Clinton for not doing HOTTER babes. The real issue, how the hell does a respected lawyer, a former ATTORNEY GENERAL, perjure himself in the deposition of a law suit that had apparently enough merit that it caused the normally cheap Bill Clinton to settle out of court for over a million dollars. Lying to 60 Minutes, lying even to your wife, fine! But don't impede the court with a flat out false denial. And then lie to the nation after your caught. REAL bogus. Given you're sexual psychological studying Rogue, you must admit, Clinton borders on serial predator.
