I WANT TO ADDRESS the letter of Douglas McGraw.
How clean are YOU? Have you never made one mistake?
You must be a “dyed in the wool” Democrat! Do you vote a straight ticket? If you do, I am ashamed of you! One thing is for SURE — not ONE Republican president PERJURED themselves in front of a grand jury over adultery or any OTHER fault. NOT ONE!
I am a Republican, but I NEVER vote a straight ticket. I vote for the PERSON and Clinton was NOT one I voted for. I am glad of that.
I look AHEAD and not BEHIND when it comes to voting.
Evidently you DON’T.
How clean is YOUR past? Can you say, without lying, “I have not made ANY mistakes?”
Then you shouldn’t editorialize YOUR opinions and thoughts and what YOU believe, without itemizing the OTHER side as well.
Is this not true?
I would hate to say that I vote for ONE party, NO MATTER WHAT just because I REGISTER that way!

Dunno for sure what context you are speaking in but there was a guy named Richard Nixon that was guilty of perjury and would have been prosecuted for it, except for the fact the very next Republican president pardoned him for everything effectively giving him immunity.
That being said I agree with you %100 that people that vote straight tickets are very blind followers which contribute to the apathy of this nation. But this is America and the man was entitled to his opinion, much the same as your hideous overuse of the capital letters.

Good one, open_eyes. I can still hear Nixon's voice, "I am not a crook." I also remember the Nixon tapes and some of the things he said on those. Bad news, Dorothy.
Besides, Nixon's crime was quite a bit more serious than "having sex" under a desk. I offer what Alan Dershowitz, professor, Harvard Law School and member of the House Judiciary Committee, December 1. 1998...
"On the basis of my research and experiences, I am convinced that if President Clinton were an ordinary citizen, he would not be prosecuted for his allegedly false statements, which were made in a civil deposition about a collateral sexual matter later found inadmissible in a case eventually dismissed and then settled. If President Clinton were ever to be prosecuted or impeached for perjury on the basis of the currently available evidence, it would indeed represent an improper double standard: a selectively harsher one for the president (and perhaps a handful of other victims of selective prosecution) and the usual laxer one for everyone else."
I agree with open_eyes. Doug McGaw is an American citizen and last time I checked, he has a right not only to his opinion, but to his vote. If he wants to vote straight ticket, that's his prerogative and none of Dorothy Delf's business.
Dorothy, be careful about throwing stones. They have a way of bouncing back and hitting you. Maybe one will bounce on your Caps Lock key, preventing you from ever using it again.
