Kilpatrick: Ousting me would be danger to city
Mayor meets with county leaders at morning summit

UPDATED AT 7:05 P.M.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said today that he should remain in office because the alternative would put a city and state in economic turmoil even more at risk.

"There's a danger of unplugging. There's been such a knee-jerk reaction of leave, leave, leave. But what happens the next day?" Kilpatrick told a crowd of more than 300 people at a forum with the region's other top elected officials today in Birmingham. "You'd have a temporary mayor and an election in 90 days. You could have four mayors in 15 months."

Kilpatrick obviously doesn't have the character and honor to resign. Hence, it's up to the people to recall him (if even Michigan and Detroit law allow such a thing). Get hoppin', Detroitards!

After all, then he'd be among the ranks of the rest of Detroit..broke and in a scummy part of town.

I intensely dislike Kilpatrick.

Despite that, I'm still fascinated by his ability to try to spin everything in his favor. Just when I think he couldn't possibly top his last efforts, he comes out with something like this. Amazing. (LIke a car wreck you can't help but gawk at as you drive by...)

ignore

So Kwame lied under oath to a Grand Jury.

It was only about sex, so that makes it all right. And what got him in trouble was only ONE word. "No". That's it.

It's not like he was under oath to a Grand Jury while being questioned in regards to RAPE CHARGES made by Paula Jones and then repeatedly poked his finger at the video tape camera while repeating for over 5 minutes that he "never had sex with that woman".

Leave Kwame alone. He is just acting like a typical Democrat politician and we all know that EVERYONE would lie under oath to a Grand Jury about their sex life.

Clinton lied during DEPOSITION to Paula Jones SEXUAL HARASSMENT law suit. You are incapable of getting anything right.

BTW - I’d rather have a president look into the camera and lie to me about having sex, then a president look into the camera and lie to be about torturing people in all sorts of grotesque manners.

Yep, since Bubba was under oath to a Grand Jury during DEPOSITION, then that makes it OK for him to lie. Andi for 8 MONTHS he kept lying to you.

Here are some of the BUBBA CLINTON RAPE FACTS that you Liberals convinently ignore.
"A 1969 charge by a Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford University campus where the future President was a student. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed this week that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family declined to pursue the case;
In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, who was a law student at the college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by Capitol Hill Blue confirmed the incident. The woman, tracked down by Capitol Hill Blue last week, confirmed the incident, but declined to discuss it further;
In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law professor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him and she left the school shortly after the incident. Reached at her home in Texas last week, the former student confirmed the incident, but declined to go public with her account. Several former students at the University have confirmed the incident in confidential interviews and said there were other reports of Clinton attempting to force himself on female students;
Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's gubernatorial campaign, said he raped her in 1978. Mrs. Broaddrick required treatment for a bruised and torn lip, which she said she suffered when Clinton bit her during the rape;
From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor reported seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually. One retired state trooper said in an interview that the common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was "who's next?";
Carolyn Moffet, a legal secretary in Little Rock in 1979, said she met then-governor Clinton at a political fundraiser and shortly thereafter received an invitation to meet the governor in his hotel room. "I was escorted there by a state trooper. When I went in, he was sitting on a couch, wearing only an undershirt. He pointed at his penis and told me to suck it. I told him I didn't even do that for my boyfriend and he got mad, grabbed my head and shoved it into his lap. I pulled away from him and ran out of the room."

Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen (from her first marriage), told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. Close friends of Ward, however, say she still maintains privately that Clinton forced himself on her.
Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with a cash payment.
Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left Washington. Reached at her home last week, the former Miss James said she later learned that other women suffered the same fate at Clinton's hands when he was in Washington during his Presidential run.
Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton's leased campaign plane in 1992, says Presidential candidate Clinton exposed himself to her, grabbed her breasts and made explicit remarks about oral sex. A video shot on board the plane by ABC News shows an obviously inebriated Clinton with his hand between another young flight attendant's legs. Zercher said later in an interview that White House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about the assault.
Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.

Yet with all the facts, innuendo, lawsuits, accusations, and even video taped evidence of your boy Clinton LYING LIKE A DOG UNDER OATH TO A GRAND JURY, you Libs circled the wagons and protected him.
Why won't you Democraps protect Kwame the same way you protected the perverted rapist? ARE YOU ALL TRULY THAT RACIST?

LCBM, you're too filled with anger for your own good. Relax, man. Enjoy life.
