Now that the enemies of the president have managed to embarrass him and his family over sex, maybe we can get on with the business of the country. I personally consider sex to be a private issue.

The president used poor judgment in having sex with Monica Lewinsky.

I don’t care who Clinton is having sex with. As far as I’m concerned, that is between him and his family. What really offends me is that people seem to think that this is an opportunity to bring down a popular president who’s doing a good job. In 1992 Clinton confessed to sexual wrongdoing, and we elected him. In 1996 he was accused of more sexual wrongdoing, and we re-elected him. I have no doubt that if Clinton were to run for president tomorrow he would be re-elected again.

This is supposed to be a democracy, and the voters have twice spoken. I feel that the enemies of Clinton are trying to undermine democracy and thwart the will of the voter. If the enemies of Clinton want someone else as president, they should field a candidate who can beat him in an election rather than try to undermine the Constitution with a scandal about something as trivial as sex.
