During the 1992 election, character was said not to be a factor in electing the president of the United States. After the election of Bill and Hillary Clinton as president, Bill Clinton said that his administration would be the most ethical ever in America.
Since the 1992 election, Bill and Hilary Clinton, along with their Democratic and liberal allies, have lied to and scared the American people about balancing the budget, reforming welfare, fixing the health-care system, the school-lunch program, infidelity, Whitewater, Travelgate and now Filegate.
Since the 1992 election, this administration has had more of its people be investigated, resign, be tried and convicted and commit suicide than any administration in the past.
This White House has used its power to manipulate the FBI, the Congress and the American people to cover up its involvement in Whitewater; the illegal use of campaign contributions; the illegal, criminal prosecution of the travel-office personnel; and now the improper use of the FBI to accumulate very personal files on approximately 500 people - mostly, if not all, Republican.
When a person has no character, it affects all that he or she does, whether it be in personal or public life. We cannot trust Bill Clinton's administration and those Democrats or liberals who support him.
The course is clear for the next election. We must get these characters out of Washington, D.C., and replace them with a president and first lady whose character, integrity and honesty are without question. It sure won't be Bill and Hillary Clinton.
