For an incredibly bright and intelligent woman, capable of making spontaneous decisions w/o emotional attachment (tis sarcy...almost male like), it is too bad that she is so far left wing, that she can't see the problems that truly plague this country.

Black Panther Party: FALSE

Retention of birth name after marriage: TRUE
(however i fail to see the controversy of a woman keeping her birth name

Cattle futures: No Criminal Wrongdoing

Upon review no wrongdoing on clinton's behalf was found, as the passage mentions.

Tammy Wynette; baking cookies: TRUE

yeah, clinton said in 1992 on 60 minutes "I'm not sitting here as some little woman 'standing by my man' like Tammy Wynette. I'm sitting here because I love him and I respect him, and I honor what he's been through and what we've been through together." rednecks and wynette were offended.

Whitewater: No Criminal Wrongdoing

from same passage: " The investigations, which took place during Bill Clinton's presidency and cost an estimated $40 million, resulted in the McDougals being jailed and Webster Hubbell pleading guilty to felony charges of lying to federal investigators about Clinton's role in both Whitewater and the savings and loan failure. No criminal charges were brought against the Clintons themselves, as Robert Ray's final report on September 20, 2000 stated that there was insufficient evidence that either of them had engaged in criminal wrongdoing."

Travel office firings: No Criminal Wrongdoing

from same passage: "On June 23, 2000, Whitewater Independent Counsel Robert Ray stated in a final report that while there was substantial evidence that she was involved in the firings, it could not be proved that she had deliberately lied about the matter, and so no charges would be brought."

Don't go telling me he has the capability of ending the fiasco known as Iraq. He fudged up taking out Osama anyway when the chance was there. 9/11 would not have happened under Bush's watch had Clinton done his job.

Yes recessions are cyclical and enigmatic in themselves, but his economic philosophy helped contribute to that.

Yes, Bush is an idiot. You will never hear me argue/debate for him being a good president while in office. The sum of his years will be terrible, despite his first 3 being somewhat good. However, Clinton was no great one either.

It's about what he did do. You're changing the subject. Clinton wouldn't have gone into Iraq in the first place.

And that's bullshit right-wing propaganda that says Clinton had the chance to stop Osama but didn't. Complete lie. Bush had a much more clear opportunity to stop 9/11 (PDB "Osama bin Laden determined to attack within United States", anyone?)

Also bullshit. The Balanced Budget Act created a huge economic surplus that Bush squandered into the ground.

Bush is a horrendous president. It's not about him being unintelligent. He's not. He's a lot smarter than people give him credit for. He's just evil. He has blatantly overreached his power and does nothing but try and extend the power of the Executive branch of government. I am confident that Bush will go down as one of the worst presidents in history.

It really doesn't matter. People need to take control of their own lives and not put a single person up on a pedastal and depend soley on them to justify if the state of the nation is in good or bad shape. Whoever the President is, whatever laws are passed, taxes cut, this and that, nothing will change if we as individuals don't take control and meet the responsibilities that are ours and no one elses. If you have a kid, be a parent. If you need money, get a job. If you pay too much for gas, get a bike. If you don't like your weight, excercise. If you are lonely, go make friends. Nick Nolte would be just as good a president as Hillary Clinton, because it just doesn't matter in my book.

Fun tib-bit: That's when the term (verb) "Mondale'd" came into being.

Main Entry: Mondaled
Pronunciation: 'Mon-dale'd'
Function: verb
Etymology: Modern English - circa 1984

1: To be soundly defeated, crushed, obliterated, destroyed.

Unfortunately, I disagree. Every branch of our government is essential to its function. I think having a government is beneficial to everyone and since I'm not aiming to destabilize that, I'd like to leave the Constitution intact.

Yours. Any. Economical. Environmental. Foreign. Whatever.

Whichever causes YOU to think the Republican candidate is better than YOUR perception of the inferior Democratic one.

Would you vote Republican?

I usually think of "Democrats" as people who would only vote for Democrats, therefore by definition incapable of fulfilling your requirements. Alright, I can agree with that.

I don't really think along party lines. I have never considered myself a 'Democrat' I'm just a liberal.

I like the Constitution, I dig it, but I think the branches of government need a good fixing. Too many cowboys in charge, and I know things are rapidly changing, but this Democrats vs Republicans thing is getting old. They feed off each other to no end and that in itself defines our nation.

I just think the system worked better decades ago and now it's too controlled and lobbied by people who are not out there for the welfare of the common man, but rather big business such as oil.

Government changes, it will change again. The nice thing is you have power to enact that change.

PS: You can thank Reagan and Gingrich for the massive polarization of American politics imo.

It wouldn't be so if parties played to the center and not to political extremes.

In order for that to happen, voters need to become comfortable with grey areas again.

In theory, yes. But, every candidate has to take a stance, and will be called out on some topic or another. These responses will ultimately define their ties. And, as such sway voting. erm

Is what it is?

Alliance
Not at all, politics is shaped.

People demand stances on every issue, but that doesn't mean that candidates have to polarize themselves to extremes. Parties, especially the Republican party since Reagan, deliberately have chosen extreme candidates. The Democrats chose grey candidates in the 06 elections...look what happened, candidates that dont fit a liberal-conservative mold...

*gasp*

Clinton's job at presidency is debatable; Clinton's job as a politician is not. He was--and is--one of the best politicians our nation has ever seen. He's charismatic, a smooth talker, and able to evade even the most pointed questions.

One of the reasons people don't like Hillary Clinton is because she's pretending to care about the children on issues like videogames--that is to say, working over certain groups of political conservatives to win their vote.

Why I hate Hillary Clinton? Where to start eh?

How about continuously supporting anti-game bills and teaming up with the butt muncher known as Jack Thompson.

She's basically a socialist, along with other politicians like Ted Kennedy and John Edwards

People don't understand that just because there are bad republicans in office doesn't mean that democrats have all the answers

Thats why I'm an independent, I don't associate myself with either party, because like President Washington said, 'political parties can create blind loyalties to issues rather than thinking for one's own self'

I quoted you to also comment on his sig/avi, which I liked.

But as I added a few comments about Obama and William Ford Jr., another black conservative/moderate democrat who says he's Christian.... I realized that I was getting off topic and posted it in the Obama thread.


But you're right, it's a good Obama sig.

What's the reason for this? It makes no sense to me. My opinion of her is based on her public reaction to her husbands scandal. She took the stereotypical supportive wife role, I do not want a leader that takes that role because it is expected. Imo, she did not show strength, she showed politically correct behavior, she showed conformity and weakness.

Giving the government more control over our lives is the exact opposite of what we should be doing

To quote Ronald Regan..

Well for one she is a left leaning blowhard who has been doing things that are quite conservative lately to appeal to right America, so she can steal an election and push the country the way it didnt choose to go.

Simple enough?

Indeed. This is what I feel is here biggest flaw/detriment.

Is she really less liberal than she seems/appears, or is it a smoke screen?

That is the question...

PVS
i fail to see how she 'seems' liberal unless you just equate woman to liberal and not consider her actions (or lack of) in congress.
