Reply #8: I've gotten to the point that I think he just didn't like Clinton....

The Monica thing might have been something that threw him over the edge because he knew what it would do to the party and the country.

In retrospect maybe many of us who defended Clinton because we knew about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy...didn't really "get it" that to many Americans the Monica thing just was so offensive that it embarrassed them and they really felt it was shameful and that they had to explain it to their kids was even worse. I didn't realize how angry folks were over Clinton until talking to some friends who really hate him because of Monica. They can't see past it and somehow even blamed Gore for it. They will never see how the whole incident was played out in all it's cigar glory...just to hurt the Dems and allow the Bushies to take over. And, maybe they have a point. Why was Clinton so weak that he allowed that to happen to him? And, did Gore feel the same as my friends. He felt it was morally disgusting?

It's taken me a long time to get to the point I could see the Monica thing the way others out there might.
