You must be a damned fool! Democrats have a long established history of political corruption (ever heard of the Chicago Dalys?). Gore's activities in illegally raising campaign funds ought to be evidence enough for you, or Clinton's selling of the Lincoln bedroom to the highest bidder. Worse, Clinton's sale of our American Interests to China! And I guess you've forgotten about the pardon purchased by Marc Rich & others? Only a total idiot would suggest the Democrats are anything but corrupt. I don't say that Republicans are all squeaky clean, but the number of corrupt Democrats is an order of magnitude higher than Republicans. Clinton was easily the most effective president of our lifetimes Ha! This is indeed hilarious. Bush accomplished more in his first year than Clinton did in eight -- and Bush dealt with a major catasrophe (or two) in the same time period, plus a Congress that is totally obstructionist. What did Clinton do? Don't come back with that "Economy" crap, because he had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the economic conditions of the time, just as Bush I didn't in his term nor has Bush II. The president has almost nothing to do with the economy, unless like the great Ronald Reagan the president is a driving force behind an economic revolution (and Clinton damned sure wasn't). History will remember Clinton as the worst president of that century.If you want to blame Clinton for Osama, it's wrong, because he tried harder than anyone to make peace in palestine. Clinton did nothing of the sort. His motivations were solely in his self-interest -- a pathetic attempt to create a legacy where there was none. I only regret that I won't be around long enough for history to judge the sorry f*cker. Clinton's administration was comprised of rank amateurs, and the country suffered mightily for it. His mismanagement of Saddam Hussein is maybe the biggest blunder of an American administration in a hundred years. After Bush-I skillfully and perfectly ran a war which defeated Iraq, Clinton allowed him to violate the terms of the ceasefire without fear of retaliation. This was gross incompetence, and comes from having a crew comprised of weak-minded liberals running the country. I'm sure you'll agree with all my remarks, so let's just drop it here.
