damn i miss bill clinton


he was good,and they had the nerve to impeach him.

reply

It wasn't so much the sex scandal that got him impeached, it was the perjury and obstruction.

reply

I'm a republican, but being forced testify about personal sexual experiences is bullshit, and he shouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. Our government needs to stay the hell out of everyone's personal life, including the President.

reply

I've always been on the fence about this. For the most part, I agree the the Government should stay out of personal lives, but then again, Lewinsky was a White House intern.

reply

If it wasn't a criminal act, it really shouldn't matter. I think it was inappropriate, but that's between him and his wife.

reply

Yeah. Talk about a perjury trap. Poking around a guys affairs and personal life until you catch him in a lie.

reply

I agree with you, he never should have been put on trial for this. The fact is, he was, and he lied under oath. I mean, he was the president, and our government is pretty much based on our justice system soooo... probably not a good example to set, ya know?
For the record, I don’t care about this political shit. Just my opinion of the situation.

reply

Clinton wasn't the only president who had affairs. JFK and FDR both had affairs with other women.

reply

True, but they weren't banging White House interns.

reply

Are you sure? What about Monica Lewinsky and JFK?

reply

He was good? That depends on what the meaning of the word "was" was...

reply

Lol, younger folks probably don't get this.

reply

Too bad there's not "like" button on here.

reply

Why, you like cigars?

reply

No, he was not good. Another war criminal. Repealed Glass-Steagull... Signed NAFTA... He threw half the blacks in prison -- Criminal Justice for profit, DOMA, DOn't Ask Don't Tell.... He helped Wall Street, especially Citibank.

There haven't been any good presidents in the modern age. You'd have to go back to FDR and JFK.

reply

Yes, you are right about JFK. He was the last person who actually attempted to be a president and looked what happened to him. America hasn't had a president ever since.

reply

LBJ tried to be a great president, but was beholden to the MIC, israel, and not looking like a red. it ruined him.

his heart was, in many respect in the right place, but he wasnt quite smart or courageous enough to separate the good from the evil. he was, unlike jfk, not smart enough to see thru the generals. it only took jack about a year, and a couple of disasters. to get his mind right.

i view LBJ from a very tragic perspective, because he was by far our most important civil rights president since lincoln. much superior, in fact, to JFK.

reply

He had charisma, Right up there with Jeff Goldblum on the scale.

reply

His foibles look tame compared to whatshisname.

reply

Calvin Coolidge..?
Yep, a real wild man that 'Silent Cal!'

reply

I meant Martin van Buren πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚πŸ™‚

reply

His depravity knew no bounds

reply

clinton was a big part of the abasement of the office that got us into the state we're in.

he also surrendered the democrat party to the reaganites.

don't miss him, his wife, his obama, or any of their extended clan in the slightest.

reply

yup.. The Democratic Leadership Council.

Basically right-wingers who shout about abortion rights, to play both sides of the coin.... Unfortunately, half the country is too dumb to know any political distinction. Or the non-trivial/gossip history.

reply

If Clinton was secretly Republican, Bush was secretly Democrat and both parties are the same. What you're saying is meaningless. But right wingers certainly don't like Clinton as you suggest, and they don't like Bush either. Guess who does. The social justice left.

thrillhouse is a fellow who has not yet figured out how stupid he is. i doubt he ever will.
