"Memo to candidate Hillary Clinton: I could have been a Monica Lewinsky"

[Cal33]

144. For years the Republicans were trying their best to drag up something about

Bill Clinton with which they could find cause to have him impeached. They didn't. Then Banker
Mellon of PA thought of paying private investigators out of his own pocket, and sent them to
Arkansas and dig up dirt of any kind on him. The investigators came across a few women who
claimed to have had sexual relations with Bill, when he was Governor of Arkansas.

Extra-marital sex is not a crime. But the Republicans made use of deceit and tried to obtain
evidence illegally. They succeeded in having a friend of Monica, Linda Tripp, to secretly use
a wire while talking with Monica about her intimate physical details with Bill Clinton. [This
meeting between Monica and Linda took place in Maryland, and in Maryland it is a crime to
secretly tape someone without that person's consent]. The rest is history. Tripp was working
for the federal government. After she lost her job, none of the Corporate Power people would
consider giving Linda a job -- after all she had done for them!! This is so typical of Corporate
Power people. Bush, Jr. cut down on spending for injured veterans. Correct? And it was his
war to begin with. That's gratitude for you! Republicans try to take everything, and give you
nothing in return.

What the GOP wouldn't do to impeach any president who isn't one of their own! They have
tried to impeach Obama, too. I'll bet they are still trying. And they will do the same to any
and every other president who isn't a Republican.

As for extra-marital sex, Alfred Kinsey's "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" said that
around 60% of males admitted to having had it, and his later "Sexual Behavior in the Human
Female" reported that some 40% of women admitted to it. Many of our earlier presidents
were known to have done the same thing. It's just that the news media avoided discussing
such a topic during those earlier times. They had more respect for privacy then.

I think it was the Republicans who brought out this topic right into the open, when they
were trying to find something to impeach Clinton with. Even then, they did not succeed.
They could only accuse him of having lied about sex under oath. And he was found
"Not Guilty."

If you think Bill should have been made to pay for it somehow, he already has. Just think
of that huge and prolonged trial, and all of it reported on TV. And what about all the
other presidents right up to Jefferson, who had fathered several illegitimate children with
his female slaves?

I think we Americans do have some kind of "official" sexual hang-ups. Europeans wonder
how come we are so hung up about the sexual lives of our presidents. Has our sexual
maturity been arrested at stage of adolescents, who are wondering about the sexual lives
of their parents?
