On the recordDecember 18, 1998
we have dispatched and asked some of America's women and men to place themselves in harm's way and degrade Saddam Hussein's capacities in weapons of mass destruction. Simultaneously, we placed the citizens of America in harm's way by utilizing political weapons of mass destruction to degrade and destroy the President of the United States. Lyndon Johnson said, ``The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that we don't hate your Presidents.'' Some say this is not about sex; it is about lying under oath. Lying under oath about sex is still about sex, and the only reason it is about sex is that our colleagues could not find anything else to get on him. Any extramarital affair, whether by a president or a Member of Congress, is lying under oath, the most sacred of oaths, the marriage vow. Any lie told by a president about the people's business is under oath, the presidential oath of office. It is not just one poll, but in all polls, by a two to one margin the American people say that when it comes to people's sex lives even presidents' sex lives, government should mind its own business.
