Bush/Clinton and the right-wingers

I'm not trying to create some crazy conspiracy theory but I do think there is a lot of truth in what I'm suggesting.

That is, I believe the anti-abortion Christian movement is incredibly influential and that is why, to a large degree, Bush seems to skate through his blunders while Clinton couldn't take a deep breath without an independent council investigaton.  Yes, it is also largely due to Republicans controlling both houses of Congress but then again, most ardent anti-abortion Christians are from the bible-belt states, which  traditionally vote Republican.

It was the Paula Jones scandal that brought this to light.  Remember the woman who no longer looks like herself?  A wealthy anti-abortion Christian group paid her enormous attorney fees (and possibly her make-over).

I am not trying to bash Christians or pro-lifers.   I just honestly believe that if Bill Clinton was against abortion, he would have had a much smoother presidency.

Does anyone else agree with this?
