The corruption is so blatant and rampant. How do I tell my three boy's to respect the law when our so called leaders don't?

Paper ballots NOW!!!
Hand counts NOW!!!
Impeachment NOW!!!

1. Why should we? Because they have the power.

Also because we're decent human beings who honor the rules that permit us to live with our fellows, even if our so-called leaders aren't.

Clinton setting a bad example for the youth of America?

5. That's because they never think about sex unless it's between
same sex partners.

6. because you cannot sink to the level of your enemy
you might win, but morally lose. That's why a democratic nation doesn't torture. If you start doing it (even for a "just cause") you'll pay the price 100fold...

7. Remember all that high and mighty talk from the Y2K campaigns?



About how they would restore integrity and decency to the White House?


Well, we're still waiting.
