Re: Former Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico acknowledges having son outside marriage

I was of the opinion© that residual dislike of Clinton cost Gore the election. Certainly, there were other factors including the SCOTUS and the choice of Lieberman.

So, I understand that your opinion© is slightly different than mine but the reality™ remains the same.

As for whether one's moral indiscretions reflect on the party overall....I would say no - and I would say the same. Indeed, that was the point of my post.

First off.....Bill Clinton didn't cost Al Gore the election....the Supreme Court cost Al Gore the election....and even if you want to adhere to the belief that GWB actually won the election, it still wasn't Clinton that lost it for Gore...it was Gore and his horrible selection of Lieberman as a running mate that cost himself the election.

I don't condone Bill Clinton's actions at all....he was not my favorite but won me over during his terms...but I lost a lot of respect I had for him due to his moral indiscretions. But lets me fair. The Republicans were on a two year witchhunt....and all they could come up with after years of digging was a blowjob? Give me a break. ANY guy would have lied about it.

As for whether one's moral indiscretions reflect on the party overall....I would say no. But it tends to be more Republicans that try to claim the moral highground and get caught with their pants down and their hypocrisy exposed. True....there are conservative and liberal hypocrties though.

Since humans are not mongomous animals, I would like to know how he treated the child through his life to make any kind of determination on what kind of person he is or was.

And where is your evidence that humans are not monogomous?

Just because you probably want to fool around on your women - doesn't every man does.

It is in our nature. We were put on this earth to procreate and spread our genes around.

Why do you think humans are monogomous other than a religious book telling you so?

Is that only in an individual sense?

Some animals are, it depends on context.

1) I don't give a rodent's buttocks about the Bible (or any ridiculous God book from any religious club).

2) Humans are monogamous because they crave love more then sex (except for the f'd up ones) - and love usually requires monogamy.
Not necessarily one partner ever - but one at a time.

Humans crave love? Where did you get that idea? Why would one preclude the other?

If I have to explain it you - you wouldn't understand.
