: And when Lieberman and Gore get together to pray, like they are always saying, WHO ARE THEY PRAYING TOO? Buddah? Liberman is not even a Christian.

: Neither was Christ. He was a Jew, in fact. So were all the apostles.

: This country has gone down the moral slip-'n-slide into the cesspool of clinton/gore depravity.

: Yes, the elected leader has illicit and suddenly the entire country becomes one huge . Such is the moral impressionability of the American people- "well if one elected official can do it, I guess it's suddenly okay".

: Of course, politicians have been having affairs since time immemorial. It would appear what the American people want is someone discreet, not moral.

: Did you see the Monica Lewinsky look alike? Close but NO CIGAR.

: Oh staple my sides, for they do split.

: It's a common claim that America is in some sort of moral free-fall, and that this is due to the inbancy of the democrats. But just how viable is such a claim? After all, "golden age" conservatives have been claiming such decay for decades. Well now I believe it is time to find out.

: Sonny, you keep a of most things that happen in your part of the world, so please, give me five instances of clear 'moral decay' in your country. Not just generalities, but actual, specific examples. They have to be things which would outrage most people, not only, say, Christian hardliners. And there has to be a demonstrable link between this moral decline and eight years of Democrat rule.

: You have two weeks i.e to the 1st September. If you succeed, such an achievement deserves a reward. If you can succeed in proving an umambiguous link between the Clinton administration and a decline in the morals of the American people I will ship you your choice of a six pack of finest Tasmanian lager or a bottle of Australian wine (white, red or fortified as per your tastes).

: Naturally the offer is open to everyone else on this board. But you really have to prove it. Saying 'there are more single mothers now than there were in 1992' proves nothing- not only is there no clear moral point, but there's no clear link with the president.

: Good luck everyone.

: Wulf
