Five reasons why focus on scandals is unlikely to backfire on GOP as in 1998 | WashingtonExaminer.com

1) Clinton’s scandal involved sex

Without re-litigating the entire impeachment debate, it’s fair to say that Clinton’s scandal revolved around his sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. This made it a lot easier for Clinton to appeal to Americans’ sense of forgiveness and portray political opponents as prying into his personal life as opposed to dealing with the nation’s problems. In contrast, though both sides debate Obama’s culpability, the issues at the heart of the current scandals are all very serious — dealing with a terrorist attack on a U.S. ambassador, IRS targeting ideological groups of a certain stripe and the Department of Justice spying on journalists. According to a CNN poll released Sunday, “Americans appear to be taking all three controversies very seriously, with 55% saying the IRS and Benghazi matters are very important to the nation and 53% saying the same thing about the AP case.” So, it’s harder to put Republicans on the defensive for investigating these issues than it was to attack the 1998 GOP for expending so much effort investigating Clinton for lying about oral sex.

Americans do feel that these are serious matters, however I have yet to see a poll where the American people believe that President Obama is culpable in any of them.

What they say to me is we need to,

1. Reduce American interventionism.

2. Meaningful Election reform.

3. Repeal many parts of the Patriot Act.
