Well, it WAS a frustrating conversation for me, but I find the result rather acceptable too. You're welcome. For what it's worth, I'm a Libertarian who thinks Reagan's efforts meant more to the boom of the '90's, than either Bush Sr's. or Clinton's. However, I'd say Clinton's economic policies were generally conservative, as conservative as any elected Republican was likely to provide. Both Clinton and Bush gave us tax increases. Bad scene, IMHO. And, I do think that lying under oath as President is much more than a hill of beans no matter the subject matter, and that tarnishing innocent American Citizens by denying their truthful charges(something Clinton began even before his first election) is even worse than lying under oath, no matter what the reason, be it personal embarrassment about sexuality, or anything else. But, we just have to agree to disagree. Dan B

What a crock. Cliton was lucky to be in office when Bill Gates et al were getting into their game. The technology revolution and increased productivity fueled the economic boom. Coupled with the peace dividend from Ronnie Reagan's winning the Cold War, Cliton rode the perfect wave. In fact, Cliton planted the seeds of the downturn by doing things like waging war on Microsoft, the greatest engine of productivity since Ford began mass-producing automobiles. Cliton's ego required that he battle Bill Gates, which depleted both the federal coffers and the economy by diverting resources from productive use, while hog-tying the inventor of the greatest thing since sliced bread. Cliton also set the mousetrap for the downturn through a variety of last-minute administrative mechanisms, like Regulation FD, which didn't help investors but which cooled the high tech investment sector and which - conveniently for Cliton - took effect only at the end of his term. Cliton set a number of booby traps to go off near the end of his term and have their effects felt afterward, in an effort to glorify himself and his tenure. As time passes, this will become more apparent.

Bill Clinton took a solemn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution and laws of the US. He broke that oath when he failed to answer truthfully questions in a lawsuit brought by another citizen. He broke that oath when he knowingly submitted false evidence in a lawsuit brought by another citizen. He broke that oath when he misled a federal court. He broke that oath when he misled the IC's office and lied under oath requiring millions of dollars to be spent needlessly. He broke that oath when he misused the power of his high office to cover his sorry lying ass. He broke that oath when he coached and coerced others into testimony which advanced his coverup. His impeachment was not only justly deserved, he shoud have been removed as well. The big creep was clearly not fit to be President. JLA
