Are you suggesting that if Hillary divorced Bill that Hillary's chances
for mounting a successful campaign to get the Democratic nomination for
the candidacy for President would be next to nil?
I don't agree with that. I think that if she DID divorce him, that would
increase her chances rather nicely, especially with the Feminazis.

Scary, isn't it?
And the Feminazis out there think that we're afraid of a "strong" woman.
Not at all. What *I* object to is someone who wields political power and
has official power to fire/hire, make policy, spend taxpayer funds, etc.
and is NOT answerable to the people of this country.
I didn't vote for Hillary. Didn't vote for "Billy" either, but CERTAINLY
did NOT expect a "twofer". In fact, I'm surprised no one has brought
this issue out more forcefully. The media certainly isn't questioning
Hillary's apparent political power.
Wonder why THAT is?

assistant: On 04/19/98 Steve Fragner was overheard discussing Yet another Bimbo
with Janada Oakley
I believe what Janada was trying to tell you Stevie is that anyone who
believes that what Bill Clinton does with women vis a vis passes, is NOT
"dating". Nor is it "courting". What it IS Steven, is sexual harrassment
(where harrass is NOT two words), if not out and out sexual assault.
To put it simply, what this whole thing is about Steven, is the abuse of
one's official position and power in searching out, meeting, and
"hitting on" women for one's sexual appetite.
It's the use of the Office of the Presidency to attract females into
sexual encounters, and using this power to cover up any illegalities,
"suggest" that women commit perjury if questioned about it, and lying
about it himself under oath.
Each one of those acts constitutes a federal felony. ie. a crime. A high
crime. Ergo, they are impeachable offenses.
Forget the fact that he's married for a moment. Even if he were single,
using his official office and the Secret Service as a means to seek out
new women and bed them down, and threatening those who refuse with job
loss or non promotion, and suborning perjury, committing perjury, and
tampering with witnesses, is plain wrong and illegal.
Or are you one of those kind of people who, like Clinton, lives by the
motto of "I have a right to do whatever I can get away with"?

Write your reply.

assistant: For those of you who have been following the latest move by El Presidente
and Chucky Putz Schummer, et al. to outlaw imported "assault" weapons,
it should come as no suprise that DUI deaths far exceed those by firearm.
There are, in any given year, in excess of 17,000 DUI related fatalities
in this country.  This is far less than the number of people who die as a
result of gunshot wounds.
However, those who claim they are so concerned with public safety, the
lives of innocent children, and the "carnage" that firearms create in
our society, are for some inexplicable reason, SILENT when it comes to
the number one killer in society today.
Does anyone have an idea as to why that might be?
It's obvious that Teddy Kennedy, who is responsible for ONE alcohol/driving
related fatality, won't challenge the liquor industry or try to introduce
alcohol control legislation.
The interesting thing is that there is an agency in the Federal government
in place that could handle booze control. It's ATF. The "A" does stand
for Alcohol, after all.
The sad fact of reality is that those who champion gun control aren't
concerned about public safety. They want the American public disarmed.
Pure and simple. The question that remains to be answered is "WHY?"

You're probably right about this.
Even most of the extreme-silly-fringe liberals acknowledge
that no law will directly affect any criminal's ability to get
guns...including full-auto weapons and armor-piercing ammo if
they really want it and are willing to pay the going
black-market price.  The liberal argument is that taking guns
out of _our_ hands (and homes, and gun shops, and even some
police armories) will make it harder for criminals to get guns
legally...as if they buy them legally in the first place.  And
of course, if the liberals have already confiscated our guns,
criminals can't steal them from us.  In a strange way, I can
almost admire their "flexible" mental processes.
Yes, this would certainly be a retroactive law under any
definition.  I'm not entirely certain we should enact such laws,
though -- the person should have been considered "not deportable"
in the first place, but he wasn't because the law didn't say so.
Once we've given our word (as stated in the law) as to the
conditions under which an individual is permitted legal entry, we
should live up to our word.  This does not imply that we can't
change the rules regarding future applicants for legal entry, of
course.
Retroactive laws that grant special _beneficial_ status to
individuals are another matter.  These should always be allowed,
but the actual enaction severely limited; and we must limit them
to named individuals rather than faceless groups, since we're
changing the bargain in their favor and at our expense.

Such an appointment would make her an accountable part of the
Executive Branch, something the Waffle House repeatedly denied
when the Health Care Fiasco blew up in their faces.  I'm just
refusing to let them have it both ways; either Hillary was
fully accountable then, or she had no official standing.
Bill can invoke the Divine Right of Ham Sandwiches if he wants,
and if we let him get away with it.  No one else can invoke
anything in his name, however -- not Hillary, and certainly not
some staffer.
That is precisely how I believe things are.  Oh, Bill still has
considerable power, especially with regard to foreign policy
(perhaps someone in Peking or Jakarta is pulling those particular
strings, but only until he decides to double-cross them); but
when it comes to domestic policy, Hillary has the final word and
Bill doesn't dare defy her lest she expose the inner workings of
his administration -- or worse, move into his bedroom.
I's like those "Intel Inside" stickers when the first flawed
Pentiums came out...what looked like a boast was actually a
