I would say that most americans want the congress and the white house to
get on to doing their perspective jobs--the only problem is why the
republicans in congress continually believe it is the duty of the congress
to impeach a president whose sole problem is in the private arena and all
this hoopla about obstruction of justice and perjury are purely legal and
debatable charges that have yet to be proven. Clearly the majority of
americans do not believe he should be impeached. Why the republicans
insistantly want to keep this charade up and not follow the people is that
they are the ones who are partisan and not trying to do anything but one
thing. They are not talking to anyone but those who support the Republican
party and the republican viewpoints...anyone else is below their dignity.
Now the pundits are saying that Clinton will only be remembered in history
books for this scandal. HAH! I think the truthful history books will
reveal the Republican tactics and the Republicans whole desire to bring
down this prez since he became president. I think the Republicans still
cannot believe that Clinton won in 1992 and it just continued to irk them
that we voted for him again in 1996. The fact he has one of the lowest
popularity scores of all and still get high marks on job performance must
infuriate the republicans to no end, especially those religious right
fanatics.
I think Clinton is and has and will continue to do his job, its the
republicans that dont want him to.
That's just my personal opinion:-)
