> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Is there any evidence that Monica was not consenting? Lots of guys proposition multiple women, unless they engage in rape it’s their business. Not Monica. The Bubba/Monica relationship may have had unhealthy power imbalances, but was apparently a garden-variety affair. I was specifically thinking of [Kathleen Willey,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Willey) but I was apparently remembering details from [Paula Jones’s encounter with Bubba.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Jones) He dropped his pants for Paula Jones, and she walked away. He literally grabbed Kathleen Willey. ---

Good Lord, haven’t you had your orgasm yet? How much prurient talk about Bill Clinton’s dick do you need to get off? ---

I’m pretty sure the number of sexual partners and sexual relationships a person is in has no actual bearing on whether or not they are qualified to be President. ---

I understand where you’re coming from **foolsguinea**. The thread was amusing to read, especially seeing so many miss your critique from the left and not understand your obvious sarcasm. I think some actually thought you were a bitter Republican. I doubt any non-Hillary women would have a shot, though. However regrettable, it’s the culture they have to work with. Hillary is seen as a tough broad and her name recognition is sky high. What if Trump ends up beating her? Would you agree with that sentiment, or do you think someone else could’ve stepped up? ---

Hillary is seen as a tough broad and her name recognition is sky high. What if Trump ends up beating her? Would you agree with that sentiment, or do you think someone else could’ve stepped up? Thanks. 🙂 I’m a bit embarrassed by this thread, actually. For one thing: Looking back, my first few posts take a bit to really find that wildly sarcastic tone. For another: I do have some substantive political disagreements with both Hillary and her husband, and I should probably focus on that argument. But yes, I am offended at anyone trying to sell me on the Return of the (a?) Clinton(s) as some kind of great triumphal march into power for “feminist” or “progressive” causes. And I’m offended at the idea that voters (who chose Obama over her in 2008) really wanted her back for some reason. No, it’s mostly their hangers-on and fan club getting excited at the old team’s comeback. I think George Stephanopoulos’s attitude on ABC’s coverage of the debate Saturday night sent me over the edge. ---

I am not an advocate of dirty politics, but when a party disregards the most basic tenets of morality and sense, much as Bill Clinton himself did, then it actually does good to teach them the error of their ways by making them fully reap the consequences of their decision. Bill Clinton’s affairs aren’t important? Let’s see what happens when he’s blackmailed. Better us than foreign governments. He’s already demonstrated that he’ll do anything to get out of having his affairs revealed. Does anyone here think he’d bravely do the right thing if faced with that choice? ---

And the number of people on this board who present Hilary as anything more than an acceptable candidate is miniscule. ---

Examples of how to use Clinton: 1. Hey, get us Hillary’s debate briefings. 2. Get us campaign strategy memos. 3. Leak embarrassing administration stories. 4. You’re portrayed as a centrist and you’ve cultivated that reputation. See if you can move her more to the right so we can get more of what we want out of budget deals. Since no money is involved, it’s probably not even technically illegal. Here is the blackmail statute: > [@](#): > > “Whoever, under a threat of informing, or as a consideration for not informing, against any violation of any law of the United States, demands or receives any money or other valuable thing, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.” No money or property is being asked for here. and how often do politicians go to jail when the situation is vague? Not often. They can hire the best lawyers. The Clintons reputation would be even more in tatters and all they’d have gained is a trial of a Republican official that went nowhere. ---

Let’s see what happens when he’s blackmailed. Better us than foreign governments. How the fuck can you try and take the moral high ground against his affairs and then turn around and say its morally acceptable to blackmail him? You’re a hypocritical piece of shit and your morals are thankfully not shared by the general US population. ---
