Correct, I would not like to see it continued, but that is what the general election will
(or should) decide, won't it? Is it a politician's job to mandate moral policy? No, that
is a job for better or worse, for the populace as a whole. They may not always make the
right choice, and they have to live with their choices until they can decide again. And
the beauty of it is that we can gripe about it all we want. The open dialogue we enjoy is
yet another benefit of our system. It is the way we get to explore our successes and
failures and expose them to others.

Isn't it said that we learn better from our mistakes? That's what we should do in this
case. It was a mistake to let the guy in the Oval Office not just once, but twice. Get
burned enough, you'll learn to stay away from the fire. Maybe the burns are fresh enough
that the Clinton-Gore association will prevent yet another mistake.
