. To say Reagan, Bush or Rohrabacher was in favor of the specific waiver in question is ludricrous. Nobody said Reagan or Bush was in favor of a specific waiver, only that Reagan and Bush had a policy of approving launches in china. Ok, name a waiver that Reagan or Bush turned down. But... anything to obscure the facts... Speaking of which, I find it interesting that you put words in "our" mouths to argue against by claiming that we said Reagan and Bush approved of the Loral waiver. This is what's known as a strawman argument. Its quite useful when your opponents are being reasonable and you want to make them sound unreasonable. Just say they said something they didn't say and then show how absurd it is. But, anything to obscure the facts, as you say. Dragonfly

Bill: I am sorry to disappoint you, I do not support Bill Clinton, did not vote for him and have been a Republican (in fact a fairly conservative one) during my entire life (including voting for Reagan twice, Bush twice and Bob Dole once). On the other hand, I am a Bernard Schwartz and Loral supporter. You and your cohorts on this thread are so blinded by your hatred of Bill Clinton that you are ready to stoop to anything to try to bring him down, including destroying intentionally the reputation and good name of honorable individuals who stand in your way. Joe McCarthy would be proud of you. As far as obscuring the facts, I could not even compete with you in that area.
