Political Quotes

“I rise to oppose the Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States. The acts in which President Clinton engaged with Miss Lewinsky may have been morally wrong, but they were not illegal. Whatever occurred between the President and Miss Lewinsky, the facts are uncontested and indisputable--there was no penetration of her sexual organ by his sexual organ--therefore, there was no sexual intercourse. When the President said that he did not have sex with that woman--he did not lie. President Clinton, along with other southerners, commonly defines sex or sexual relations as sexual intercourse or coitus. He did not lie because he did not have sexual intercourse with Miss Lewinsky. Consequently, there is no legal basis for perjury, and certainly no basis for impeachment. I am grounded in Christian values and have been, from the age of one, involved in my church in various capacities, such as Sunday school teacher, Chairman of the Trustee Board, and a Deacon. I have learned and have been taught that if one sins, only God can forgive him. Sin is breaking God's laws as set out in the Ten Commandments. These laws pertain to morality, not legality. Because I am not a God, I am not in a position to judge the President. I leave that task to be dealt with by him and his God. I strongly feel that these impeachment proceedings, from the beginning, have been too partisan to be objective.”
