As the presidential indescretions are in some way equal?
How are they able to do that with a straight face?
lol it just blows my mind how they turn marital indeiscretion into a worse world crisis than Iraq, afghan and possibly Iran/Russia.

"Unprovoked invasion of a soveriegn nation"
Isn't that what forcing an intern into sex is?

Well it was not the BJ persay..it was the lying in a deposition (in which you have NO right to privacy). Now that was the technical reason but in reality it was this....The GOP had Bill on a technicality and were willing to use millions of taxpayer cash to make him look bad and blow the situation out of all proportion,since in no way did it compromise his ability to act as President, in order to then run the GOP campaigns on family values.
So why does the current President enjoy immunity to any oversight or control....because 1) the GOP cares more for party politics and political gain than the national interest and 2) The Democrats also too weak willed to make a united stand in any direction for a long duration of time because their own political manuevers will come into the light.
finally and most importantly
3) The lives of the Middle East and the area's stability are of a much lower interest to the average American than any sexual scandal involving anyone with any type of public figure, be it political or celebrity, in America itself.
Charles B> Clinton got a CONSENTUAL BJ and made a small lie in what should not have been part of the questions anyway as opposed to Bush lying to the public, starting a war under false pretenses, suspending Habeas Corpus, declaring himself immune from laws, violating the Constitution and hence violating his oath of office.......yeah Clinton was such an A-hole.

The invasion of Iraq was not unprovoked. Saddam had defied UN sanctions for 12 years.
The "indicretion in the white house" and the lies and denials that followed were pathetic and a national embarassment. If the president has no respect for the office, how could anyone else?

It's too bad that the illegal means which Cheney and Bush used to get us into Iraq probably never will be officially censored and may never be prosecuted. Without such official censure, partisans will always be able to say Clinton broke the law, while denying the criminality of Bush and Cheney.
It's not about the truth or even a balanced account of history, it's all about partisanship and getting your team to win. At any cost.

Asking Bush apologists to rationalize any of their boneheaded ideals and reasonably defend Bush's policies is like praying for divine intervention: It's not going to happen.
If you've ever seen the expressions by Bush or Cheney during one of their speeches, it's rare either can propogate their lies and spin with a straight face.

I met republican strippers the other day. who said that they would rather have bush as a president than one who gets blow jobs in the oval office.
anyway, I feel a president is a man , and I'd rather a man get a ******** at work, than to murder his own people because he can't do his work.
Leave it up to a republican to twist what they disagree with into a fear tactic to stay in power. I'm still not even sure if I've figured them out yet.

Because , despite their rhetoric, the right wing has no moral values. Or at least, if they do, tey seem to regard a bj as a more serious offense than the deliberate slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent people oor the needless sacrifice of 4000 American lives in such a war.
Which caalls into question not only their morals, if any, but also theeir sanity.

It's a result of 50 plus years of TV censorship.
Intimate human relations=bad
Man's inhumanity to man=good

Thise who do so are religious fanatics, and intolerant. Talking about marital indiscretion is a red herring designed to distract from the real issues have poor judgment like Bush does for example

What blows my mind is people such as yourself (and many others who've answered here) who insist on repeatedly oversimplifying these issues to this degree. It's ignorant and insulting.
