I don't know. Maybe. Did she promise NOT to? That was kind of my
point, since Clinton LIED, saying specifically that he would NOT
do that to win the
election, then went ahead and did it anyway.

Isn't it just possible (and mind you, I think that Clinton should be serving
prison time over the Monica thing) that MAYBE there's a LITTLE bit of
difference between lying and changing one's mind?

Of cuorse there is. WHen Clinton does it, it's a lie. ;^D

I mnean seriously, in retrospect, when William Clinton said "I promise to
serve my full term even if offered the presidency" should anyone have believed
for one second that he meant it?

Lying is when he said "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski."

I'm sure he promised to serve with the same conviction in his face.

I would have to read the original text, but somehow I doubt that the word
"promise" entered into the statement. Even if it did, and he later found he
had a good chance to obtain higher office, and thus changed his mind, it
still would not be a lie. A lie is a purposeful untruth..

The "purpose" was to get re-elected governor, giving him greater
credibility for the presidential election.

So, how's that whole "hopey - changey"
thing working out for you so far?
