Republicans never conducted a holy war against Clinton. It might make a nice sounding left wing jingle for you to say that. But that's about it.
First of all, Republicans, along with a large majority of Americans, simply disagreed with him and his all knowing wife that 17% of the U.S. economy (health care), should be turned over and controlled lock-stock-and-barrel by the government.
Then they disagreed with him about a host of other issues related to his behavior and abuse of the Office of Presidency. This culminated in his perjury and obstruction of justice, which eventually got him impeached and disbarred.
Many Democrats simply didn't like it when someone of their own party was shown for the hypocrite and women preying scoundrel that he was. I've said this before but it bears repeating, if Clinton had done the same things and been a Republican, Democrats, such as yourself, would have been the first to scream bloody murder and demand his impeachment.
The fact that many Democrats couldn't distance themselves from him, (the same way many Republicans distanced themselves from Nixon during his abuse charges) caused them to select Al Gore and lose the election.
The pain of that loss is still hurting guys like you and Kenneth, who just can't get over it. So, it doesn't matter if Bush does every single thing you would ever want him to do, you will go on despising him, and coming up with silly sarcastic one liners in an attempt to make your bitterness go away.
res- P.S. You know nothing about the common working man. Hence, you cannot possibly judge whether Mr. Phillipps is on target or not. (Hint: He is.)
This comment is really precious. how could you possibly know who I am, how I was raised, how I live my life and so forth. The problem you have is just because I can debate and articulate my point of view in a way which frustrates you on this board, you assume I am some sort of intellectual elite or something. I'm not. I'm just a man who enjoys reading, writing, buying tech stocks and relating to other people on this board.
The simple fact is over 90% of Americans (including common working men and women), think the President is doing a decent job during this crisis and want to give him their support and encouragement. Both you and Kenneth seem to disagree with this vast majority of Americans, and are a part of very small minority.
Being part of such a small minority of Americans should give you pause to reconsider how connected you truly are to the common working man. It certainly would me if I found my views were aligned with such a small minority of people. |
