Clinton took out a dangerous dictator with WMD without costing a single US troop's life. That was amazing. He may have been a draft-dodger like Bush-Cheney but he uses his head and turned out to be a pretty good commander in chief. Wes Clark helped too. What an amazing general. There were many on the right who railed against that police action (not really a war, but regime change) but it turned out about as good as it could have. GHW Bush also knew how to organize military campaigns. And the key to it all is diplomacy and cooperations. Bush doesn't do diplomacy at all really. he has made the US a pariah, an outcxast instead of the world's leader. Bush-Cheney don't seem to have a clue, mainly because of their fundamental dishonesty. Their whole presidency is based on the lie that they are tough counter-terrorists. In fact they are pimps and whore of big oil and other noxious corporate interests and they never do their homework except when it comes to following evil genius Rove's campaign commands. From Plamegate we can see how they spend half their time covering up their own crimes and lies. They spend very little time working to help people, caring about our troops or planning the Iraq debacle better. They are really deserving of not only impeachment (that's obvious) by serious criminal indictments, though of course a president cannot be indicted util after he leaves office. In the old days, those two would be taken to the gallows. You know it's true. They really have betrayed their country, and don't give a damn with the majority of Americans or congess thinks. That's not leadership, that's being wannabe dictators or Mafia dons. And let's not forget they cheated to steal both elections, Florida certainly and 2004 in Ohio probably enough to swing the election too.

Time to expose these rightwing myths built up since the Reagan days which just are not true: - Lowering taxes is the key to a sound economy (Clinton raised them and gave us a much better more sustainable economy) - Republicans spend less than Democrats (not anymore) - Government programs are inefficient beaurocracies (privatizing is much worse, opening up the floodgates for profiteering, lobbyists running things, gross corruption and raping of the public wealth) - Cutting pollution costs jobs (just the opposite especially in the long run) - Bush is strong on counter-terrorism (his record stinks to holy hell) - Reagan defeated the Soviet Union (just not true at all) - Democrats are weak on defense (we were actually much safer under Clinton than Bush. Now all bets are off and our military is bogged down and decimated) - Those who protest wars are not patriotic (depends which war, Vietnam and Iraq are both disasterous boondoggles which were based on packs of lies, both civil war quagmires, and the Contra war was also needless, illegal and corrupt) - Liberals want more social programs so they are closer to the Soviets than conservatives. (Actually the USSR quickly turned into the opposite of what liberals stand for, a police state). - The media is liberal (many are but Fox News is #1 and the only truly biased major network or news service in the country, and the rightwing dominates 95% of radio because they bought it, not because they earned it.)
