FW: IT'S STILL OUR COUNTRY "WOB"

[Sir Thomas Toad <badfrog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>
>  A Powerful Letter to the President!
> From a Retired Army Officer 9/30/98
>
>   Dear Mr.. President:
>
>  It's not about sex. If it were about sex, you would be long gone.
>  Just like a doctor, attorney or teacher who had sex with a patient, client
>  or student half his age, you would have violated the ethics of  your office and
>
>  would be long gone. Just like a Sergeant Major of the Army, Gene McKinney,
> who though found not guilty, was forced to resign amid accusations of
> sexual abuse.
>  Remember the Air Force General you wouldn't nominate to be Chairman of
>  the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he freely admitted to an affair almost
> 15 years before, while he and his wife were separated? Unlike you, he was never
> accused of having a starry-eyed office assistant my daughter's age perform
> oral sex on him while he was on the phone and his wife and daughter
> were upstairs. If it were about sex, you should be subjected to the same
> horrible hearings that Clarence Thomas was subjected to because of the
> accusations of
> Anita Hill.  The only accusation then was that he talked dirty to her; He didn't
>
> even leave semen stains on her dress. No, it's not about sex. It's about
> character. It's about lying. It's about arrogance. It's about abuse of power.
> It's about dodging the
> draft and lying about it. When caught in a lie by letters you wrote, you
> concocted a
>  story that nobody believed.  But we excused it and looked away. It's about
> smoking dope, and lying about it. "I didn't inhale," you said.
>  Sure, and when I was 15 and my  buddies and I swiped a beer from an unwatched
> refrigerator, we drank from it, but we didn't swallow.
>  "I broke no laws of the United States," you said. That's right, you smoked dope
> in
>  England or Norway or Moscow; where you were demonstrating against the U.S.A.
>  You lied, but we excused it and looked away. It's about selling overnight stays
> in the White House to any foreigner or other contributor with untraceable cash.
>  It's about Whitewater and Jim and Susan McDougal and Arkansas, Gov. Jim Guy
>  Tucker and Vincent Foster and Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and Karen Willey
> and nearly countless others. It's about stealing the records from Foster's
> office while his body was still warm and putting them in your bedroom and "not
> noticing them" for two years. It's about illegal political contributions. It's
> about you and Al Gore soliciting contributions and selling influence at Buddhist
> temples and in the same Oval Office where Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt
> led their countries through the dark days of wars that threatened the very
> existence  of our nation.  But we excused you and looked away. It's about hiding
> evidence from Ken Starr, refusing to testify,
> filing legal motions, coaching witnesses, obstructing justice and delaying Judge
> Starr's
>  inquiry for months and years, and then complaining that it has gone on too
> long. The polls agreed. Thank goodness that Judge Starr didn't read the polls,
> play politics or excuse you and look away. He held on to the evidence like a
> tenacious bulldog.
>  Your supporters say that you've confessed your wrong doings and asked for our
> forgiveness. Listen, what you said on TV the night you testified to the grand
> jury was not a confession.  Confession in the face of overwhelming evidence is
> not a confession at all. Not that it would make a lot of difference. A murderer
> who contritely confesses his crime is still a murderer. When your "confession"
> didn't sell, even to your friends, you became more forthcoming. Maybe someday
> you'll confess more, but probably not. You've established such a pattern of
> lying that we can't believe you anymore. Neither can your cabinet, the Congress
> or any of the leaders of the nations of the world. When a leader's actions
> defame and emasculate our country as profoundly as yours have, it is no longer a
> personal matter, as you claim. It's no longer a matter among you, your family
> and your God. By the way, I don't believe
> for a minute that Hillary was unaware of your sexual misadventures, abuses of
> power and  pattern of lying. She has been a party to your wrong  doings since
> Whitewater and Jennifer Flowers just as surely as she lied about the Rose law
> firm's billings and hid the Vincent Foster evidence in your bedroom for two
> years. Why? So she could share in the raw power that your office carries. The
> two of you probably lied to Chelsea, but that is a matter among you, your family
> and your God.
>  Remember the sign over James Carvill's desk during the l992 campaign? It said,
> "It's the economy, stupid!" Place this sign over your desk:
> "It's about character, stupid!"  No, it's not about sex, Mr.. President. If it
> were, you would be long gone. It's about character; but we have to live with
> your filth, lies and
> arrogance for a while longer. Your lies, amorality and lack of character have
> been as pervasive as they have been despicable, so we have no reason to believe
> that you will quietly resign and go away. You'll count on half truths and spin
> doctors to see you through, the country be damned. It has always worked before.
> We excused you and looked the other way. No more, we've had enough. You betrayed
> us enough. You have made every elected official, minister, teacher, diplomat,
> parent and grandparent in the country apologize for you and explain away your
> actions.  Now go away, and
> let us show them that our country was not without morals. It was just that you
> were. Let us show them that America was not the problem.  William Jefferson
> Clinton was.  Go away, Mr. President. Leave us alone.  And when you leave, know
> that your legacy to the United States of America will be a stain on the Office
> of the President that is as filthy as the stain on Monica's dress.  It will take
> a lot of scrubbing to make it clean again.
>  > >From a Retired Army Officer, who served as public affairs officer at Fort

> Hillary's help and expertise, it's history. Now that all "HE" did for the
> economy is coming un-glued, and his lack of national and global confidence has
> eroded, do You really want this "couple"/man to remain in the White House to
> further cripple/paralyze what USED to be the strongest nation that has had the
