[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm a democrat but feel like the lack of inherent respect for the office of President started with W.

That's when we started painting each other with extreme brushes. So honestly probably 9/11[/quote]

LMFAO. You must not have been around during the Clinton administration.[/quote]

I think he kind of deserved it.[/b] And I am the D pp. At minimum IMO he is someone who abused his position to have affairs with women who were vulnerable. And I voted for HRC exuberantly. [/quote]

No, he didn't. Ken Starr was supposed to investigate the Clinton's investments into a failed business venture in the 1970s and 80s. Clinton ended up being impeached in 1998 over a lie about a blow job. I listened to the impeachment proceedings as they were going on. It was absurd.[/quote]

To be fair I was like 11 at the time and grew up with R parents :) So I cannot say I remember those proceedings in any meaningful way that wasn't colored by my household.

BUT I can't bring myself to feel that bad for him. He is/was a scumbag, regardless of whether that was grounds to impeach, I don't cry my eyes out for him.[/quote]

OK, but maybe you should cry your eyes out for us, who are now living with what the Gingrich Republicans wrought during the Clinton administration.

Ok? I don't really understand what point you're making. I was just saying I think polite discourse towards the office of the Presidency is important. The first president who seemed like a fairly decent human being (to me, and that doesn't mean decent president just decent human) who got just torn to pieces by the press was W. But that perception might be tied to my age. But clearly SOMETHING has happened in the last 20 years because now we finally have a true monster as President who can LITERALLY brag about doing what Clinton got impeached for and still get elected. Something has gone awry.[/quote]
