LETTERS: MESSAGE TO CLINTON: I FEEL YOUR PAIN

To the editor:

Everyone thinks our nation is in a crisis. It's not our nation, it's our presidency. Is any surprised? I think not. What's surprising is the media coverage.

This is a good, trashy scandal, and it doesn't get any better than this. Combining Gennifer, Susan, Paula and Monica -- even the soap opera writers couldn't have come up with a better script.

The real problem with the scandal is the Democrats can't blame the Republicans. Monica Lewinsky is a Democrat hand-picked by the Clinton administration to be an intern at the White House. But you can bet they will try to discredit her.

One of the most frightening aspects that may come out of this is that Al Gore may be sworn in as president. This is a bone-chilling possibility. Slick Willie is one of the best assets the Republican Party has ever had. He continues to bring discredit upon himself and the Democratic Party. All of this TV coverage isn't costing Republicans anything.

If heard on the radio that the Clinton administration is planning a prayer breakfast Feb. 5. If this materializes, it will be the largest gathering of hypocrites the free world has ever witnessed. How can Christians stand by and allow Clinton to lead America down the road to moral decay?

One fact remains true: You couldn't trust a pot-smoking draft dodger in the 1960s, and you can't trust him in the 1990s either. To all my Democrat friends and Bill: I fee your pain.
