And of course, the Democrats just bit their tongues and averted their eyes when all of this was going on. Right. Not to mention the fiscal stimulus combined with monetary constraint, along with the integrated circuit, are responsible for today's booming economy. The declining deficit helped along by Bush's bipartisan agreement. Iran-contra, misguided actions prompted by patriotic motives which resulted in PROSECUTION and time served for crimes committed. Starr's frustrated in Whitewater because witnesses who earlier agreed to testify suddenly recant and another would rather serve time for contempt rather than testify. This is not good for the country, but Clinton brought it on himself, in spite of Hillary's allegations of conspiracy to the contrary. His speech last night indicates that he is an unreconstructed advocate of big government, arrogantly assuming his impugned judgment is superior to mine as regards the best way to spend my money. Throwing 100,000 this and 5,000 that at a problem does not give me confidence that his "programs" are anything more than political grandstanding. But he is anxious to spend the budget surpluses beginning to accrue from the policies of the previous administrations. He's done some things right, and is certainly very intelligent, but he is very much a moral relativist. Apparently, in his mind, "sexual relations" does not include fellatio. One episode could be lapsed judgment. Certainly, the more I learn about Monica, the more she seems manipulative in her own way. However, his history indicates a predator who abuses his power for more than sexual gratification. He's a high stakes gambler who plays the odds well and constantly hedges. Now he has lost a bet (alleged suborning of perjury with the subornee confessing on tape). Thank goodness his bet involves his personal standing and not a domestic or foreign policy crucial to the welfare of the U.S. and the world. <<I guess you must be pretty proud to be on their side>> It's tough to live with compromise, but it's the only way a democracy can work.

Read my lips NO MORE NEW TAXES Bush was forced in to raising taxes by a Democratic congress. Would you have preferred that he refuse to negotiate with Congress and shut down the government like Clinton (yes CLINTON!) did? IRAN-CONTRA, Iran-Contra resulted in exactly ONE indictment, which was later overturned. Whitewater has resulted in something like 22 and several convictions. Trickle down policy, Hey george what's the deficit at this afternoon? Well sir, i really don't know if a word exists for such an amount, but if this can help there's a few numbers followed by E-L-E-V-E-N Z-E-R-O-S. The current expansion was started in the Bush administration. It would have continued no matter who was elected President as long as nothing outrageous was done to reverse it. Greenspan should get more credit for the economy than Clinton. And don't forget Congress' roll. Funny how you give Bush all the blame for raising taxes, but you give Clinton all the credit for the budget surplus. And speaking of surplus, why oh why can't Clinton use it to reduce taxes or reduce the deficit instead of more spending? Yeah, he says he's using it to shore up the SSA, but did you add up all the billions of new programs he's proposing? Where are those dollars coming from? (Answer: you and me, unless you happen to be one of the many leaches.)
