His perjury was NOT about what happened in the White House. It does show a distinct lack of character. ANYONE who betrays ONE vow will betray ANY vow!! A cheater cannot be TRUSTED with ANYTHING. His perjury, and why he was disbarred was in, I think, the Jennifer Flowers case. He DID commit felony perjury and HAD the Senate had ANY stones would have been convicted. In my world CHARACTER COUNTS!! He has NONE!! He proved that by LYING not ONLY in court BUT directly to the American People.
By the way, it IS a REAL Security problem. When I got my clearences I TOO had to answer questions about my fiedelity. Some were VERY personal and ONE I REFUESED to even aswer. I told the interviewer that it was NONE of his business. HE laughed and said that was a GOOD answer. The REASON behind all that was from a counter-intelligence perspective.
IF a person CHEATS on a spouse and LIES about it, that person is VERY open to "attack" by forgein powers. Attack in the form of blackmail. It did happen and still happens. Clintion LIED therefor had something to hide. THAT can lead to a blackmail situation.
Most people do NOT have to live with the knowlege that intell agents and President's have to by the nature of their job. LIVES can and HAVE been lost and will continue to be lost in the future BECAUSE people who lack character are NOT able to control themselfs.
THAT is why it IS important now, was back then, and will always continue to be so.
