Having left the " level phoney criticism " phase of the evil Democratic, save the President at all costs, master plan; the white wash phase is about to begin! The Democrats got in some good practice at criticizing the President out of one side of their mouths; and forgiving, condoning, and trivializing his despicable actions, out of the other. They are now getting ready to offer up their OJ style defense, of this disgusting and immoral ( amoral? ) excuse for a leader of our country, by demonizing the investigator and making light of Clinton's illegal actions.

It is my opinion that Bill Clinton's direct bold faced, finger wagging, lie to us and his subsequent 7 month smear campaign and cover-up, constitute extremely obvious grounds for immediate impeachment. This, I base only on the President's observable conduct and admissions ( and not on news leaks of the possible content of the OIC report ). If the President had told the truth in January, the only offense would have been adultery, and may not have been enough grounds for impeachment; but he didn't. Clinton's attack non-apology speech of August, was only a dig at the system investigating him. Ken Starr's report to Congress can only add more fuel to this, with additional information on a history of abuse of power by the President, starting back in 1992 Arkansas, and as Governor of Arkansas years earlier!

Retired Democrats offered up stern criticism, but are now changing their tune.

Currently serving Democrats offered up some fakery, in condemning the President's conduct, but ended their remarks by trivializing their importance to the nation.

AND NOW THE WHITEWASH PHASE BEGINS.

Now, the Democrats from the Congress get to prove their loyalty and join in on the cover-up and defense of Clinton. They are already calling out that they forgive the first philanderer. So begins the softening up process of the American people for the release of a report that will definately be scathing for the President ( and our country ). " So what ", " it's private " and " it's partisan ", have become their mantras.

A broader apology?

Too late, for that. Clinton had his chance, in January and missed his last chance, in August.

Everybody does it?

No, everybody doesn't do it; I don't lie or commit adultery. This is no defense, but a psychologically bankrupt rationalization! Mr. Bonior says everyone knows someone, who did " it "? This is correct, Clinton admitted it to us all!

There must be a balanced report submitted to Congress?

The Whitehouse deserves to see Starr's report to Congress, because it is partisan, and submitt one of its own? Is this the TWILIGHT ZONE? Starr was appointed to submitt a non-partisan fact filled report and he should have been fired, if he is not doing just that! The Democrats and The Whitehouse just want to be able to officially offer up their SPIN on the FACTS in Starr's report. The SPIN is their LIES!

This is a partisan witch hunt?

The attacks on Ken Starr personally, and the attempts to paint his OIC report as partisan will heat up, as we approach the next phase ( The Democratic Spin Cycle ). The forever damned Democratic talking heads will begin to pull out all the stops in their distortion of the facts and personal attacks on the President's perceived enemies ( our courageous modern day patriots ).

The President's approval rating is high?

Yeah, right, sure; whose polls are these and how are they being slanted? I can only find a vocal far left wing radical fringe that truely believe this poll-wagging. See: Wag The Polls. ( 8-19-98 ) .
