1) Putting an “IMPEACH BUSH” bumper sticker on your car (as well as other forms of the sentiment) *does* make a difference. It makes people think. (Those people who are capable of rational thought, anyway.)

2) “When the Republican right went after Clinton, it worked to the Democrats’ favor.” Uh, whazzat? The Rr greatly marginalized the Clinton presidency by its constant attacks (Whitewater, women, the woman), and it still scores big points when it reminds (some) people that Clinton was impeached. A moron won the presidency in 2000 and, after 4 years of failure, won it again. There is NO way the attacks on Clinton hurt the wishy-washy Democrats.

I was going to stay out of this, but with Clinton it wasn’t just Whitewater and the women. There was the Chinese fundraising scandal (amongst others) that never really found traction but was probably the most signifigant. Remember Al Gore picking up the brown bag full of cash from the Buddhist monks and then claiming (essentially admitting that there was wrong doing) “no conrolling legal authority”?

The Republicans do not hold the repugnancy factor alone if you really care to check into things which many don’t.

A) 9/11
B) since the last election

I’m curious, If Bush has been so glaringly
wrong that we haven’t been hit since 9/11
I’m very curious what you would have
done in office.

Why don’t you armchair QBs enlighten us?

The Bush administration can rightfully be blamed for the Iraq war and the vicious attack on our Constitution during its reign. The Democrats, however, have helped facilitate some of Bush’s worst policies. Hillary Clinton, the presumptive nominee for president, supported Bush’s war for oil by making the same arguments that Cheney made. Hillary is an intelligent person who knows more about what’s going on in Washington than most Americans do. Hillary obviously knew that she was telling the same lies that Bush and Cheney were telling in order to get a compliant Congress to rubber-stamp the Administration. No one who opposes the war in Iraq should be foolish enough to consider supporting Hillary Clinton for president, since she will undoubtedly continue Bush’s worst policies. She also supported the extremely unpatriotic USA PATRIOT Act, which is a much bigger attack on freedom than the 9-11 attacks were. No supporter of the anti-Constitutional “Patriot” Act should be considered the least bit patriotic by people with functioning brains.

Clinton, Edwards, and Obama have all promised to extend the Iraq War until at least 2013. I am sure it will last many years or decades beyond that. Most Americans supposedly no longer support this useless act of mass murder, and yet they support candidates who intend to continue this horrible act.

Bush and Cheney both deserve impeachment, but top Democrats love them both too much to get in their way.

The next election cannot possibly change anything, so quit pretending that it will.

Personally I agree 100% with everything Urthpigg said.
Voting for doormats is not my cup of tea either.
Not much to look forward to is there?

Clinton lying about sex was the LEAST
reprehensible thing about his disasterous
roll as Commander in Chief. The guy
and his wife are crooks. A criminal
enterprise. Noidea mentioned the
Technology for Campaign contributions
with the Chinese. That right there is
treason punishable by hanging. Then
Commerce Sec. Ron Brown was going to
blow the wistle but his plane flew into
a mountain. Suprise suprise. That
administration STANK to high heaven.
And you Liberals always go make to
Monica and the blue dress, that was
nothing. The Clinton administration
years show two clear points about the
Left 1) Their hypocrisy in Cannonizing
a philander and accused RAPIST while
out of the other side of their mouths
bemoning the poor treatment of women.
2) That they will work with the DEVIL
himself forgiving all with no principal
if he ONLY supports and funds their
special interests and agendas.

It was truly a sick time.

Oh, and that “Clinton prosperity” everyone
on the Left constantly referrs to? It
resulted from Decimating our Military
(The peace dividend) and raising taxes.
The result of these policies let to 9/11
and the recession of March of 2000 just
as the scumbag was leaving Washington

Tell me that’s not what you are referring
to when you mention Reagan? There was a
scandel dejure with Clinton

Sorry, but one side is better than the other.
Because one side (The Republican side)
doesn’t make any promises to the American
people other than perhaps a little freedom.
That’s how government is supposed to work
as conceived by the founding fathers.

Do it yourself and we’ll get out of the way

Sorry to be so squishy.. I’ll try harder to minimize the people with whom I disagree arguments with more personal attacks against their character, people that they support and positions. This will keep America strong and vibrant.

If you’re talking to me, pardon me for
saying so, but you’re nuts. Variety in
itself is not necessarily a good thing.
There’s a thing called right and wrong.
Untold human suffering is not the spice of
life and often caused by stupidity,
complacency and appeasement. I’m very
sorry but I do believe you are one of
the convenient idiots. My condolences.

I think the clinical term is “projection”

Let me point out where you are most
assuredly wrong. Number one: Good
Republican’s have principals and operate
on those principals. Therefore they WILL
police their own. My focus has never been
on party affiliations, that’s the moniker
of the LEFT. AKA William Clinton. The
hypocrisy from the Left
during his “administration” was deafening.

As a person with a belief system in specific
values I expect ANY PUBLIC FIGURE, of ANY
POLITICAL PARTY to obey the law and
represent the country the people and the
Constituion. I stand on principal, Liberals
stand on their personal agendas and support
whomever will advance their personal agendas
I.E. Bill Clinton.
The award for Hypocrisy and party
affiliation and an astounding
ability to “ignore, and dismiss the worst
aspects of government” (and those in it)
goes to Liberals and Democrats in general.
It’s how they operate. There’s is a
platform of lies, false promises and
manipulations. I think they go hand in hand

We’re not in school, school’s out. This
is real life and unfortunately were up
against a large group of people, millions,
who
want to kill us, our children, destroy
our country and freedom around the globe
with an all encompassing, autocratic
totalitarian belief system. It’s as
serious
as cancer. The continuation of our
species hangs in the balance. I’m sure
those who opted NOT to stop Hitler in “37
and handed him the Czech republic (thought)
they were doing the right thing. As
history has showed us, the standing armies
of
France and Belgium COULD have stopped
Hitler’s army in it’s infancy,then.
Instead The appeasemnet route doomed
millions to die horribly and unnecessarily.
What did we learn? Sometimes people are
wrong in their thinking. DEAD WRONG!

I think the Democrats think they’re
superior because they’re elitists. They
believe in socialism. Hillary just made
a comment recently, “It’s time for an end
of Society (on your own), it’s time for
shared responsibility for shared prosperity”
What would you call that? Now of course to
the Democratic elite like Hillary, it’s US,
WE THE PEOPLE, who will lose our
individuality and start “Sharing”. Sharing
our prosperity and our work and our lives.

Bill Clinton did much more than chase
interns, rape Winona Broaderick
(Full on WSJ piece) or act badly,
like I said that mess I found LEAST
objectionable though it was disgraceful.
Except for the alegations of rape of course.
Selling Satelite technology to the Chinese
put our country at risk to this day. I think
It was Madeline Halfbrite that made the
remark “It’s not a good idea to have a
world with only one superpower” The tone
During the Clinton years was anti American,
Anti corporation with the law suits against
Micro Soft and proposed actions by the
Reno justice department against lawful
businesses such as gun manufactures,
tobacco legislation and other shakedowns,
all of which truly had civil rights and
our U.S. Constitution on the run. Freedom
of speech was muzzled as well all by the
same people who now cry about the abuses
of Homeland security. The hypocrisy is
sad but laughable. When a Republican steps
out of line, the folks on his side of the
Isle will be the first to get rid of him
not so with Democrats, they have no
principals only agendas. That Jeffers guy
with the $80,000 in his freezer, still in
office right?

By the way, did you read the Reuters piece
today which reports violence in Iraq is
down 70% The U.S. media won’t report it.
This mission is working. No body likes
the human cost but it is the front on
the war against terror. Suni’s and
Shia are starting to realize it’s fruitless
to fight each other and are starting to
join the coalition forces to rid al-Qaida.
You won’t here that in the press or on the
floor of the House or Senate.

Reuters is the London based media outlet
I said U.S. media, right? Was it Churchill
who said a man under 40 who isn’t a Liberal
has no heart, a man over 40 who isn’t
a Conservative has no brain? I assume
you’re over 40. You’re the snotty one.
I speak from the heart and mind, as
thoughtfully as possible. I can’t help
it if the Democrats present such an easy
target.

I digress..

LHKMAN,

Often times I sincerely question the
patriotism of Liberals and the Media.
I don’t know WHAT their motives are
I just know at times they are AIDING
those who wish to see an end to the
U.S.A. and it’s people.
They seem to want the country
brought down to the level of a third
world nation, they seem to think we’re
due a comeupance for our “sins”

They may be patriotic AND
misguided, but I doubt it.
They sure don’t act or talk patriotic.

P.S. Were you in the towers on 9/11?

Don’t get your panties in a bind
we’re just debating here.

As for your rhetoric, ram away, show me
what you got. They’re only words. I’m just
searching for the truth, you’re afraid
of it. eh? When Liberals throw tantrums
they’re never specific about any facts or
opinions they disagree with.

On the Right
we call that having an honest debate.
Liberals can’t have an honest debate of
facts because they’re weak on the facts
and logic, it falls apart, so they have
to resort to tantrums or personal attacks.
Like I really give a shit. When did I
presume to tell you your “views”?

By the way, I have a sense
of humor apparently you don’t.

In debating circles there’s a saying: the
one who gets mad loses.

Maybe next time you can articulate a bit
more precisely what the hell you’re talking
about.

You got to be saying to yourself
“What did I do to get stuck with this
buch of losers?” Right? Writer of
columns in major newspapers. Maybe
interactive news IS the wave of the
future. From my perspective the POST
and NEWS are dying. It’s drivel,
propaganda and people are smart enough
now to figure it out. The paper press
is dying. Additionally, with free internet
advertising, like CRAIGS LIST the POST
and NEW’S main cash cow the classified is
almost DEAD! he he he I love it!
