I can live with the aftermath of Clinton's conduct. I cannot live with everyone suddenly having to pass the muster of the self-appointed guardians of the national morality.

If they kept their mouths shut and let moderate people present the issues, the President's support might diminish significantly. There we have a snapshot of some of the sources of this President's remarkably solid support.
