    Clinton is a non factor, and this is not a competition. He is not running for anything and he paid for his indiscretions 25 years ago.
    A different set of standards then, and this is the difference.
    Trump admitted sexual misdeeds, and he cheerfully walked into a teen beauty pageant dressing area with youngsters in various
    states of undress. Over a 2 year period he spoke on and off about his sexual escapades with Howard Stern. He is being accused by 13 women, and one woman has employed Gloria Allred, a person you don't want wrapped around your legs.

    Moore has been accused of dating and molesting under age girls, and 9 women have come forward, some to describe their abusive experiences with Moore. He, of course, has called them all liars as has Trump. All liars? Really? We need to get off the political thing and recognize the trauma that these women have suffered. They are not lying, and these two sleazes must not get away with this.
    Moore was removed from the bench on 2 occasions for not following instructions from his superior. He reminds me of those evangelists who do the dirty all the time.

    And you can toss Franken in it also, if true, although the first lady has a sorted past and it makes me wonder. She is a Fox correspondent, was paid for the article after telling her story, is a buddy of Hannity, grabbed a guitarists ass while in concert.

    Do you really think a Republican controlled Senate will convict Trump?

    Good point. The Dem-controlled Senate gave Slick Willy a pass, so you're probably right about Trump.

    If Trump had a sense of decency he'd RESIGN.....he's smart enough to see the writing on the wall: sexual harassers will be driven from public office from now on. This is a revolution in women's rights.

    I wonder when THIS will be condemned, finally? "women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” (ESV)

    As I've said, the problem with the evidence against Moore is not that it isn't credible and voluminous, but that so many refuse to look at it with an open mind due to partisanship.

    Wild Horses has correctly explained the situation to you, but you're choosing to hold Slick Willie's accusers to a lower standard of proof than Moore's.

    "The new charges are likely to revive the debate over why Democrats defended Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal"

    because it was Consensual relationship between two adults..... not a child and an adult

    For people who don't know Ed Klein, he's a total trollhead Hillary hater who makes up **** out of whole cloth -- even (thinking) conservatives know he's disgusting hack:

    "Klein received extensive criticism for his 2005 biography of Hillary Clinton, The Truth About Hillary. Politico criticized the book for "serious factual errors, truncated and distorted quotes and overall themes [that] don't gibe with any other serious accounts of Clinton's life."

    The conservative columnist John Podhoretz criticized the book in the New York Post,

    "Thirty pages into it, I wanted to take a shower. Sixty pages into it, I wanted to be decontaminated. And 200 pages into it, I wanted someone to drive stakes through my eyes so I wouldn't have to suffer through another word."

    In the National Review, conservative columnist James Geraghty wrote, “Folks, there are plenty of arguments against Hillary Clinton, her policies, her views, her proposals, and her philosophies. This stuff ain’t it. Nobody on the right, left, or center ought to stoop to this level.”

    Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review: "Why on earth would you put such a terrible story in your book...that looks to be flimsily sourced at that?," regarding his suggestion that Chelsea Clinton was conceived in an act of marital rape.
    Facing criticism from both the left and right for making the claim, Klein eventually backed away from the insinuation..."

    "Rush Limbaugh said of Klein's work, describing the sources as "grade school chatter."

    That's still sexual harassment at least.

    not if both parties are consensual and of age, Clinton and Monica were a case of Adultery, not sexual harassment, many are guilty of that, not that I approve, but it's not the same

    Actually, it is important in that it speaks to character. These people should not be in public office today, the statues notwithstanding.
    We know that there is no legal punishment for their many indiscretions, but they can be ostracized from public life, and should be.
    They have referred to all of these women as liars, and there are many of these women who have come forward, there being strength in numbers. These guys feel no remorse for what they did, and deserve no free pass from us. I wouldn't trust my wife or daughter alone with a couple of them.
    Let us appreciate the trauma that these women have suffered during their lives, and help them achieve some form of cloture.

    They would have impeached Nixon, but he resigned ahead of it.

    So you are OK with his sexual treatment of women over whom he had power and his wife enabling it all those years?

    Clinton's conduct was predatory and wildly inappropriate at best, but not in a league with worse behavior, possibly including behavior by Clinton himself, and (it would seem) Moore's.

    But the bottom line here is that the Clintons are scum of an almost unfathomable type.

    They said they recalled she said she was seeing an older man,

    "Two of Corfman’s childhood friends say she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, "

    not about a sexual assault, but there is only one encounter that has been claimed. And her reaction was

    “I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she remembers thinking. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.” Corfman says she asked Moore to take her home, and he did.

    Does that make sense? That's "seeing an older man"?

    Jones had three contemporaneous witnesses one who witnessed events, one who was told later that day and her mother whom she told the next day.

    Viagra has really turned dirty old men, into dirtier old men.

    Yet have you looked at hillary lately? Do you think old bill wants to lay with that? Anyways, hillary prefers other women, and Abedin was probably her bed warmer. I wish people would just leave Wet Willy alone and let him use his viagra. It is not your business nor my business who Wet Willy fornicates with. But today so many people think they have a right to know the private business of others, like Bill. At least in the old days, the press had enough responsibility and decency to make private behavior off limits for reporters to dig into and supply the voyeurs with their pleasure. So why do some of us think it is our right to know of the sexual behavior of present politicians or worse, past politicians? What a sick arse society we have turned into. You yell about the gov't trying to peer into your bedrooms, while insisting that you should be able to peer into the bedrooms of others, especially famous people. What in the hell is wrong with you people? Sex on the brain?

    It was creating a hostile work environment and exchanging workplace special treatment and favor for sex. And then of course the perjury and obstruction of justice when one of his assault victims sued him.

    I don't think the "Well Bill's sexual offenses weren't so bad" is going to score many points.

    Corfman is extremely credible, and her immature reactions/comments at the time help reflect why adult men shouldn't be preying on children.

    Yep, the Republicans did the right thing and went to the White House and told him he no longer had their support so he did the right thing and resigned.

    Too bad the Democrats refused to do the right thing and force Clinton out of office.
