- Of the candidates on Tuesday I prefered Clinton, but he troubles me. I recall
- when in the primaries there was a photo of him playing golf at a restricted
- country club. His response to the flak, at least as he was quoted in the
- a.p. wire story I read, was something like, 'I shouldn't have done it, it didn't
- look right.' Further, reports from Arkansas were that he promised when running
- for governor that he would not seek a higher office while serving. This I read
- in the Christian Science Monitor, or maybe NY Times, in an article that intervie
- wed reporters who have covered Clinton. In that article they asserted that
- his assertion in the debate that he muffed his explanation of the draft
- because he hadn't thought about it in all those years, but in reality it
- has come up in every gubernatorial election he's run in.
- Now Bush of course had no bearings at all as far as the truth goes--he
- got caught denying he had ever used the term voodoo economics, according to an
- article in UTNE Reader by NBC. He denied it and immediately after they played
- a clip of him saying it. So it goes.
- What niggles at my relief and abeys full blown hope most is the first
- instance I sighted on Clinton--appears wrong?, didn't look right?--is a moral
- stance based on what he can get away with? But at least he can speak in
- a complete sentence.
