Let's go over this again. In the conservative's mind, if you don't condemn Mr. Clinton then you agree with him, and you therefore are equally morally deficient. There can be no other explanation. Hence the conclusion that America has lost its way. Clearly, most of the people who are turned off by the impeachment proceedings are equally unhappy with Mr. Clinton's behavior.
Conservatives find it impossible to reconcile such seemingly opposite beliefs.
Remember, these are people who see the world as a series of black and white yes or no choices. The rest of us see competing values that must be weighed one against the other. You know who you are, you relativistic ethical humanists. So, some see an adulterer and nothing else. Others see a man who has sinned and perhaps even broken the law, but they also see a man who is being pursued all out of proportion to the alleged crime.
