That's pretty silly, blaming an entire group for the policies of Bill
Clinton. There were/are many highly capable people in Bill's
administration who gained a lot of experience. Experience that is sorely
needed now.

You're spitting venom, just as the Bushbots do at any idea to the left of
Attilla the Hun. Now I understand why the link above includes the rights
resident asshole, alt.rush-limbaugh. Don't work yourself into a frenzy,
that is not "The Way It Should Be."

His/your politics of villifying people on a possible future is part of
what is bringing down our once-great nation. Swallow your tongue until
Obama actually gains office and fucks up in reality, not in your mind.

Grant him the same slack Bushbots demanded, and got, from a lot of us.
This time I'll be quicker to jump on him, I waited until 2003 to turn on
Bush. It won't take that long next time so rest assured that Obama is
going to be carefully scrutinized but having a coronary over Clintons
decisions and actions is just plain stupid.

No argument, that is a conundrum, but one I loathe to back away from.
Fiscal conservativism is a worthy character trait. How to package it for
public consumption is a problem not yet successfully resolved.

Dunno about you but I differentiate between the two. "Compromising," to
me, is more akin to "pragmatism." Pragmatism and altruism are very
dangerous habits when armed with the inherent coercive force of government.

I will not tolerate a liar. At the same time I often grant slack in the
charge, until a pattern of behavior is displayed. In my opinion it is not
necessarily lying when someone changes their position. For instance I was
once an avid death penalty advocate, now I am strongly opposed. I changed
my views, my previous position wasn't a "lie". I simply decided that it
was too dangerous to allow "government" to execute its citizens. Power is
always abused and legislative creep was legislating the death penalty for
additional crimes.

Compromise is indeed mandatory but not at the cost of core ethics. It is
a very thin path between retaining integrity and compromise.

I detest Bush, you half-witted party-bot retard. The whole point
is that your messiah, Obama, is not likely to be a helluva lot
better and the whole "change" mantra is a friggin' HOAX. You
brain-dead liberals love him because he's part African so you
can't see beyond the B.S. There will be no real change unless
the corrupted political system that currently exists either
collapses or is overthrown. Enjoy your ride into the abyss along
with all the other Obamaniacs.

Assuming incorrectly sends you off on a wrong path. I did not vote for
Obama however he is the President-elect. Deal with it.

Obviously you don't know my politics, don't assume. That's a tendency of
the ditto-heads, to make up shit then rant about their fantasies.

Obama won. Or rather McCain lost. Same impact. Let's deal with
restoring teh dignity and economic health of America lost under the Bush
administration.

That sounds DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to
Bill Clinton's "GOOD GERMAN" defense of Saddam Hussein's secret police!!!



http://newsbusters.org/node/2863
Bill Clinton's 'Good German' Defense of Saddam's Aides

There are two absolutely extraordinary aspects of this story. One is that
Bill Clinton, a former President of the United States, offered the “good
German” defense of the murderers, torturers, and rapists who worked for
Saddam Hussein, and he did so on foreign soil. ...

"When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the
whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American
University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure
were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad
situation," he added.


LIBs not only sponsor our Adversaries,
they actively defend them as well.

We knew Bush has failed his oil business prior to his winning his
first national election. The media didn't keep that a secret at all.

The real issue with Bush's election was the alternatives. First Gore,
then Kerry. We made a conscious decision to go with a loser.

Not so with O'Bama.

Exactly so.
Unlike the result in the Bush appointment in 2000 or his win in 2004, the
best man won in 2008.

I agree that the "best man won in 2008"......However, the term "best
man" is relative.......Obama was so indecisive that he voted "Present" 43
times in his abbreviated Senate term.....That's NOT what we need!!!.....
This country needs someone in the mold of Jack Welch(GE) who sees a
situation and ACTS!!!
