Apologies for not addressing this sooner...

By all accounts, the sexual encounters indulged in by Clinton were consensual. Being a poon hound does not automatically make you a predator.

Ask Paula Jones if the encounter was consensual.. Or Juanita Broderick... Or Kathleen Wiley...

Clinton is the textbook definition of a sexual predator as defined by your Wiki link..

obtaining or trying to obtain sexual contact with another person in a metaphorically "predatory" manner.

As a former LEO, I share your disgust for sexual predators.. No matter how you slice it, Clinton is a sexual predator..

Would I let my daughter work for Clinton??

Absolutely..

Because my daughter is usually armed and knows that "gun control" is being able to hit your target..

I taught her well... :D

It's also interesting to see how the Media has covered the alleged Cain incident compared to how it covered Clinton..

With Cain, there were a total of 50 reports or stories within the first 3 days of the "scandal"..

With Clinton, there was one story in the first 3 days after Paula Jones reported the sexual assault 1994. There were 3 stories in the first 3 days when Kathleen Wiley reported that Clinton sexually assaulted her. 3 days after Juanita Broaddrick came forward in February 1999 to say Mr. Clinton raped her, there were also just 3 stories..

No matter how you slice it, Clinton got a pass from the Media and many MANY Democrat individuals and organizations...

Michale.....

That SHOULD read:

What I usually do when I post multiple links is to get rid of the "http colon backslash backslash" and/or the "www dot" and then italicize the "link"...

My bust...

Michale.....

No problem.

Yer a gentleman and a scholar.. :D

Michale.....

I think many of the stories are actually to be found in the Ozarks, but literary license ...

You did nothing ill mannered or inconsiderate. No reason you should have known. It could just as easily have had the meaning that I fell off the wagon, bought a mule from a man, got caught playing hopscotch or found the behinderbeast.

No problem.

I hadn't realized....

Michale....

Oops. I guess that second one is wrong. How did you avoid this problem, Michale, in that earlier comment? By making it italic?

Yea.. Basically, if you post an http colon backslash backslash blaa blaa blaa or a www dot blaa blaa blaaa your software reads it as a link and changes it. Under those circumstances, the one link per post rule comes into effect.

What I usually do when I post multiple links is to get rid of the http blaa blaa and/or the www dot blaa blaa and then italicize the "link"...

DF,

Sorry to hear that.

We had a rottie that we had raised from the time she was no larger than a dollar bill til she died of cancer at 9 years old.

It was like.. no, it was the same as losing a family member.

My sincerest condolences...

Michale....

To the best of my knowledge, the early Irish coming into the Ozarks brought the knowledge of the fair island to the west of Ireland, Hy-Breasil. Another name for paradise. You could only see it once every 7 years, or if you were pure of heart and beloved of many you might be stolen and taken there.

To be "west of reality" means you're out of your head with grief over the death of someone or something you thought you couldn't live without. The implication is also that you probably didn't realize whatever was so important to you.

My dog died 2 weeks ago.

Is west of reality anywhere near east of Eden?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Heh.

Anyway, no time to fool with this, sorry, got to get today's Poll Watch column written...

Sorry for the delay. Every time you post a comment with multiple links, it will be held for moderation (this is automatic, the software does it). Michale's right, I do this to avoid what's known as "comment spam" (ads).

If you don't want these delays, there are two ways around it:

Post only one link per comment. If you have five links to post, do it in a series of five comments.

Or, post the link without the "http" and the punctuation in front of it. So I can write "Visit http://www.chrisweigant.com" and the software doesn't see it as a link.

Michale did this (the second one) earlier, on another thread, and I went ahead and made them links while I was reading them. That way, your comment will post right away, and when I get around to reading it, I will magically make the links work. Either way, you can avoid the auto-hold.

-CW

At the risk of speaking for CW (but in the interests of getting you a quick answer), there isn't really anything wrong..

It's an Anti-Spam setting that sets it so any post with more than one link is held for moderation....

Or have I missed something during my sojourn to west of reality?

You were west of reality!!?? Hope ya got pics! :D

You toss around the term predator with abandon. The use suggests that you really don't know much about sexual predation.

I would suggest you learn more about what a predator really is.

By all accounts, the sexual encounters indulged in by Clinton were consensual. Being a poon hound does not automatically make you a predator.

I would further suggest that you volunteer at a rape crises center for a few weeks. It will introduce you to the REAL predators.

My wife was instrumental in funding the first rape crises center in New Mexico, I was a volunteer guard there for a year. It was an eye opener to be sure.

Bill Clinton a predator? Absurd.

Most Democrates don't run on family values issues.
Most Repulican's do.

That's a good point...

However, it still doesn't fully exonerate Democrats who want to throw Republicans into the fiery pit, yet will give Democrats who are predators a pass...

But it is a good point nonetheless...

Michale.....

Some???

That's like saying I have "some" issues with Democrats.. :D

but he was attacked primarily for unambiguously consensual adultery.

It's only "unambiguously consensual adultery" because it was a Democrat who was the predator...

If it had been a Republican, all the women's groups that defended Clinton and demonized Lewinsky and all Democrats would have crucified said Republican..

Democrats have absolutely NO moral standing whatsoever to comment on Cain's alleged sexual harassment.

None... Zip... Zero... Zilch... Nada..

2.a person of degraded, primitive, or brutal character.
3.a person living in seclusion.
4.a person unacquainted with affairs of the world.
5.an animal living underground.

I think #2 pretty much sums it up, with perhaps a dash of #4

Michale's brave declaration of both barrels aside, the right is missing the entire point of the sexual abrasiveness:

Most Democrates don't run on family values issues.
Most Repulican's do.

Michale.....

Good for you.. Because I am ready to unload with both barrels on ANY Democrat (ya know, the Party of Clinton) that wants to try and take the moral high road in the issue of sexual harassment..

That would seem to presume that there was any there to abandon. These are Republicans we're talking about.

The same can be said for Democrats as well.. See above...

Michale.....

no, god only creates babies, the devil aborts them. get it straight buddy.

Something between 37 and 50% of all pregnancies abort spontaneously, usually before the woman even knows she is pregnant. If God created the human reproductive system, doesn't that make Him the world's number one abortion provider?

That would seem to presume that there was any there to abandon. These are Republicans we're talking about.
