Answer 1

NOW's talking-point excuse is, "Well, she stayed with him instead of choosing divorce..."

We all know that for NOW to say something like this is hidden agenda. NOW is an anti-family, me-first, radical feminist organization. Do you think they realize that Bill & Hill stay married because for either one of them to leave each other would be political suicide? I'd be willing to bet the Clintons don' even sleep in the same zip code.

As for Monica, they've probably made up some psychobabble that she was a disturbed young lady with a troubled past, or something to that effect. To see her as a victim would be contrary to their hero worship of the Clintons.

Answer 2

Endorsing a candidate for President doesn't even have a remote connection to defending a woman over sexual harassment. The trouble here is that Monica Lewinsky was a consenting adult who wasn't exactly pure as the driven snow before she met Bill Clinton. She wasn't a victim, she was a willing participant, or is your memory that short? All those women who were supposedly "used and abused" weren't having flings with Clinton because he was holding a gun to their heads. That they saw an opportunity for notoriety and fame when he went national isn't exactly a testimony to their genteel and pure character. Give it a rest, Bill Clinton wasn't a rapist, he was a philanderer. If you don't know the difference, ask someone to explain it to you.

Answer 3

Now Now Now, was that a very nice question? You need to stay in the Now and realize that it is very likely Hillary will be your next President. Now I know--deep inside--you are excited to have another strong woman in charge, like Nancy Pelosi.

Monica USED during office hours--you are still a stitch. : } Peace

Answer 4

Monica was of the age of consent. There is absolutely no evidence that any of Clinton's affairs were anything but consensual, or of any abuse. What did you think NOW was supposed to say? To constantly portray grown women as "victims" because they consent to have sex with a married man is sick, and ultimately harmful to women. I'm not surprised at all that NOW is endorsing Clinton, she IS a woman, after all--DUH.

Answer 5

This quote from Nina Burleigh, former White House correspondent for Time magazine, sums up every feminist's view of Bill Clinton:

"I'd be happy to give him a ******** just to thank him for keeping abortion legal."

Answer 6

And where were you when Rudy Guiliani was having an affair while married to his third wife? And where were you when Newt Gingrich was divorcing his first wife while she lay in the hospital with cancer. Or when he was having an affair with his secretary between speeches denouncing Bill Clinton's affair? And where were you when Schwarzeneggar was having group sex and sexually abusing numerous women while he was married. The "so-called" Christian right doesn't give a damn about morals. Only power.

Answer 7

That's because NOW stands on self-interest and politics...not principal. We've known that for a long time, haven't we?

Answer 8

Monica wasn't being used.
She was more than happy to get down with a man in power.

Answer 9

NOW is old hat. They have to make up crap to keep themselves in the headlines. They are as recycled as Hillary.

Answer 10

Because the altar of NOW is abortion. The need to abort trumps all other NOW principles.

And why do Megan W and Elway the Cat (answers down below) believe that Federal Sexual harassment laws do not apply to the President...that he can have sex with any subordinates he wants...as long as they are the age of consent?
