Harry, Gore lost the election because he ran away from Clinton. Dems are a little Dim. Scumbria

Harry, Here is some real time history, from 1994: time.com Bill Clinton is ending his first year in office on an economic hot streak. First he won come-from-behind victories on deficit reduction and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Then came a global trade agreement that may help boost U.S. exports in the long run. And last week the government reported that Americans were buying existing homes at an annual rate of 4.21 million units in November, the fastest pace ever. Scumbria

Harry, I was looking through the Time Magazine archives from 1994, and was fascinated by how they were dominated with weekly attempts to destroy Clinton. None of the "scandals" from 1994 ever proved to have any substance, but it is pretty clear that someone has been trying real hard to eliminate Bill and Hillary, for a very long time. It brought back memories of how the Republicans handled the deaths of Clinton's mother and childhood friend, Vince Foster. The morning after Clinton's mother died, Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich were on the Today Show trying to bring Clinton down over Whitewater. The day after Foster died, they were accusing Clinton of murdering him. time.com Those Congressional Republicans are a bunch of major slimeballs. Scumbria

Harry, Here is another great anti-Clinton hysteria from 1994: The polls, however, were especially unloving last week. Only 35% of Americans surveyed in a TIME/CNN poll think they can trust Bill Clinton, down from 40% in January. More than half of those polled think the Clintons are hiding something about Whitewater, and a third think they broke the law. Even the financial markets decided they didn't like what they saw: on Thursday the bond market shuddered with rumors about new Whitewater bombshells, prompting investors around the world to dump their U.S. Treasury bonds and buy gold. The sudden inflation of Whitewater from a nuisance into a crisis, Administration officials insisted, was due more to their colleagues' stupidity than to any new evidence of misdeeds. The President said it was all a problem of perception. Desperate to move on, they could even joke about it; adviser Bruce Lindsey cracked that Whitewater was the site of the future Clinton presidential library. But the greatest perceptual change had implications far beyond Whitewater and its tributaries: the President's wife, the most unaccountable member of any Administration, was being called to account for her actions. time.com Scumbria

Harry, Another good one from 1994, showing how the press is obsessed with destroying Clinton: Even in the middle of what should have been a heady European trip, a senior aide reported Clinton to be "vexed" and "frustrated." In Brussels, Prague, Kiev and Moscow he was winning favorable press coverage for his handling of foreign policy. But at every stop he kept hearing that awful word Whitewater to his obvious dismay. time.com Scumbria
