President Clinton ALWAYS stayed above the fray

[Bandit]

I do not recall a single time during the entire eight years of Clinton bashing when President Clinton ever lowered himself to demean any other person. He fought for his ideas but never ever bad-mouthed another person in public. He always kept himself above it and remained Presidential. People responded to that in a very positive manner. He was attacked in the most vicious manner I've ever seen and yet never ever responded in kind. It was one of his most Admirable Traits IMHO. I think Senator Kerry or who ever gets the nomination should behave in a similar manner. There are plenty of underlings that can do the ravaging and sling the mud. Let's have our Hero be Heroic and keep above it all. Just my $.02 worth.

2. No mudslinging yet, it has all been honest questions

relating to the presidents alleged character. he ran for President claiming to bring honor and integrity tot he White House...If there is evidence he was AWOL, or failed to take flight physical because of drug abuse, the voting public have a right and a need to know.
No one is calling names, they are trying to find out if our president is a coward, is a lying murderer, is an inside stock trader (harken) is complicit in the deaths of 3000 American civilians.

These are issues that have to be raised and they have to be raised at the same time in the same manner Republicans raise their issues.
