What Tom, author of this commentary, fails to describe is that in order for
his perceived "Republican Coup D'Etat" to work, 15 Senators of the party he
likely supports and pays homage to have to vote to remove from office.
If that happens, no matter what anybody says, claims or does, it is
no longer a Republican effort, but both a Republican and Democratic
determination
that this President is no longer fit to serve in office.
The truth is there was no Republican plot to get the President. If
anything, the
so called plot originated inside the Oval Office when the President dropped
his pants
to a 21 year old intern many times then lied about it. Had the President
told the truth in January of 1998, we would never have been at this point.
According to Washington Insiders, the plan amongst Democats
is to make sure Clinton is still in office
until either Jan 20th, or 21st, when Clintons 2 year mark is up
BECAUSE Gore can run for office TWICE after serving out Clintons term.
If Clinton resigns or is removed from office before that Gore can only run
for 1 term AFTER serving out the balance of Clintons term. See the
political difference a day makes....

This country is governed by the rule of law,
not the rule by lynch mob, i.e. rule by whatever the majority decides.
Imagine what Tom would do if an opinion poll was done, or the "vast majority
decided"in his home town which advocated tearing down his house to make
room for some new community something. Tom would instantly go and want
to talk about the rule of law and the Constitution as opposed to what the so
called
vast majority want.

Inspite of the "pending" impeachment threat against a President that
supposedly has over a 65 percent approval rating from the people of America,
these same people still permitted the Republicans to retain a majority.
Before the election many of the Democrat blow hards were all proclaiming
how the American public was sick of a ll this, how they were going to vote the
Republicans out etc etc.

If you believe in the Constitution then you are anti-democracy...because
you realize just as the founders did that a democracy is dangerous and ends
in a very violent death. America is a Constitutional Republic where the rule
of law is greater then any ONE person, any GROUP of persons, any IDEA's
whether they be conservative or liberal and any POLITCAL party.

Democrats lost in 1980, 1984, 1988, lost Congress in 1994, 96 and 98. So
what is the point about having an advantage.

Tom fails to comprehend that both partys milk the money cow. It was
Democrats who were in power and who gave us the current system of soft money
in 1974/75 during the post watergate campaign money reforms.
Of course back then Democrats were milking the money cow major big time and
people like Tom didn't care as long as his party was at the money trough.

It is Republicans who want an injured and wounded Clinton to still
be in office in 2000 so the Republicans have a greater chance to take the
White House.
It has been Democrats (except those planning to run for President) who have
been advocating the idea of Gore becoming President for 2 years, i.e. healing
the nation
being Presidential, no more sex scandels and such then the Democrats will
stand a far better chance of keeping the White House in 2000.

If Clinton is removed from office it will have been Democrats and
Republicans
who according to this dude's logic "did to America and to the American
People."
The one thing I will say about Clinton. He one upped Richard Nixon. You
see
Nixon resigned before he was impeached and received a full pardon.
Clinton didn't and got impeached and Constitutionally President Gore cannot
issue
a pardon in case of impeachment.
Most people have probably read the news storys how Hillarys pollsters
have been calling around in New York and asking if her "martial status"
would make any difference if she ran for the Senate. Apparently Hillary
has told close friends that after the Senate is finished with Bill, one way or
the other, she is out in the form of a divorce. Apparently she has said that
she is maintaining image UNTIL the Senate is done.
Cheers,
Robert
