-Caveat Lector-

Have you noticed how Gephardt and a few others are saying what the Republicans
neither dare nor desire to say?  Gephardt is saying that the sex revelations
are the result of a McCarthy-like devolution of political discussion.  The
revelations should come to a halt because they obfuscate important.  One could
say that Gephardt is saying this because he may be next.  Hey, who knows.  IMO
he is speaking out because he knows that politics is the life blood of
democracy.  Politics means the discussion and debate of issues so that the
facts and trade offs become apparent.  When meaningful discussion about he
future of American society is overwhelmed by trivia, democracy loses its
meaning.  Why have political choice if people don't know what the choices are?

The Democrats wish to discuss issues that impact the future lives of
Americans.  That's because they are the party of the middle class people,
minorities, women, and the dispossessed.  The Republicans do not wish to
discuss meaningful issues because doing so clarifies their servitude to the
rich and privileged.

This is the reason the Republicans and the news media keep waving red flags,
to titillate the public and get people to stop thinking about the interests of
the nation.  Thus, we hear about OJ, Jon Benet, Princess Diana, Clinton's
sexual activity.  It is inconvenient to base a coup on sheer willfulness,
there has to be some pseudo issue dreamed up.  Base it on sex and when that
effort blows up in the Republican face, go to narrow legalism.  But always the
issues must be obscured.
