27. I was greatly worried about the ramifications of constant attacks
on a President and the impeachment of said President over a blow job.

The abuse of office by those in Congress is what worried me.

I worried what it mean down the road....and just what was really being gained by the constant attacks.

Our system of government was being greatly abused then...by members of Congress.

Now it's being abused even worse by both the executive and members of Congress

It wasn't simple hate driving the attacks on Clinton...not for those in office anyway and not by those funding and promoting the attacks.

Sure, they worked their followers up into a frenzy but the money and strategy behind the attacks had a bigger goal than mere impeachment.

You don't tear a country asunder for a blow job....there's something more you are striving for...and it's not just to discredit Clinton either.

By the time Bush hit office a lot of the people were already tired of the constant investigations and just wanted it to all go away....how hard is it to take advantage of a population already worn out by the "politics" of it all?
