<< I wouldn't at all be surprised if ten years from now the Republicans would still be blaming one another for this fiasco that blew up in their face. >>

I think that the public is worried about the Republicans getting more power. As you say, everything that they do blows up in their faces.

The Republicans not only are guilty of abuse of power, but of incompetence. It's a bad combination. When Clinton is exonerated in the Senate, the fiascos won't end. The Republican Party is not interested in doing things for the American people. They are only interested in playing dirty politics and twisting the law.

The Republicans have declared war on the American People. They constantly say that they don't care about public opinion. The public be damned.

The bottom line: The Republican Platform for 2000 will include both "The public be DAMNED" and "Family Infidelity Values".

The Neal Boortz Show

January 22, 1999

CHERYL MILLS LIED --- AT LEAST TWICE. BUT SO WHAT?

She is still the most wonderful woman to hit Washington since Hillary -- at least according to liberals. Her name is Cheryl Mills and she is the deputy White House Counsel who spoke in the Senate on Clinton's behalf on Wednesday. She told the awed Senators that Clinton shouldn't be impeached because his grandfather served black folks in his store in Arkansas.

A few things about Cheryl Mills you haven't heard from the mainstream media.

First .. it seems that Cheryl Mills is under investigation for --- guess what -- obstruction of justice and perjury. The House Committee on Reform and Oversight in 1998 found substantial evidence that Mills perjured herself in testimony before the committee. Also, she is alleged to have improperly withheld subpoenaed documents to the committee. The Justice department declines to comment on the progress of its investigation.

It also seems that Mills has a bit of difficulty telling the truth. In the opening minutes of her presentation to the Senate she stated that House Manager Asa Hutchinson stated that in a criminal court he didn't believe that he could get a conviction of Bill Clinton. What Rep. Hutchinson actually said was that he wouldn't be able to get a conviction in criminal court without witnesses. So, there's lie No. one.

Now another lie has come to the front. In her testimony Wells said that Clinton's call to Betty Currie --- the call telling Currie to come to the Oval Office on a Sunday -- came as a result of a Drudge Report item about the Lewsinsky affair. Wells said that Clinton merely wanted to discuss how to respond to media reports. The problem is that the call to Betty Currie came hours before Drudge released his report.

Cheryl Mills lies. She misleads. But that's OK. After all, look who she's working for.

THE ERA OF BIG GOVERNMENT IS OVER

Once again we remind you that Bill Clinton said in 1995 that "the era of big government is over."

Is it?

I snatched this from the Georgia Politics web site. It's a list of the government programs proposed by Clinton in his state of the Union Address Tuesday night. The list was put together by Matthew Berry, staff attorney at the Institute for Justice, and Peter Cleary, communications manager of Americans for Tax Reform:

Add them up.

Prescription drugs for the elderly
Long-term care
More teachers
Summer school programs
After-school programs
The turnaround failing schools program
College scholarships for inner-city, rural, and Indian community teachers
Build/modernize 5,000 schools
Public hospital care for indigents
Adult literacy
Welfare-to-work partnership
Community development banks
100,000 new vouchers for affordable housing
New U.S. private investment companies
Farm income assistance
Long-term computing research
Export assistance
Resources to implement Wye Agreement (money for Israel, Palestinians and Jordan)
Money to reduce nuclear threat from Russia
Military spending
UN dues/debts
Radio Democracy in Africa
Relief for hurricane victims in Central America and Caribbean
50,000 policeman
Equipment for 50,000 policeman
Drug testing/treatment for prisoners and those on parole
Clean Air Fund to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
$1 billion livability agenda
$1 billion lands legacy initiative
Americorps
Citizenship preparation
$1 increase in the minimum wage over two years
Set aside 15 percent of all future budget surplus for Medicare.
Set aside over 60 percent of all future budget surplus for Social Security.
Have government, not individuals, invest Social Security money
Set aside 11 percent of all future budget surplus for universal savings accounts.
Total plans for all future budget surplus preclude significant tax reduction.
Federal tobacco lawsuit
Internet access for schools
Reinstate five-day waiting period for purchasing a gun.
Patients bill of rights
Conference on mental illness
Year-2000 problem
AND NOW --- FOR THE CLINTON PRICE TAG

The National Taxpayers Union Foundation took all of Clinton's proposals and started crunching the numbers. If Clinton gets everything he wants it would increase federal spending by at least 20 percent. That's about $288 billion a year. That would wipe out our phony budget surplus and create an instant $100 billion deficit. And that's just for the first year.

AND THIS FROM A MAN OF GOD

The Rev. Bennett Smith prayed at a recent appearance of Bill Clinton in New York. During that prayer he said, "We have kept you and your administration in our prayers," and called Clinton "the greatest president for our people of all time."

AND DIDN'T WE ALL KNOW THIS

Dick Morris appeared on Hannity and Colmes earlier this week. He told of a time in 1994 when Clinton was getting ready to testify in the trial of Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker. Morris says he was called into the White House residence where Clinton asked him "I am worried. What happens if they ask me under oath if I had sex with Susan McDougal?"

Now what does this tell you? If the answer is no .. say no!

So, let's just go ahead and add Susan McDougal to the ever-growing list of Clinton sex partners.

What an amazing surprise. Who would of thunk it?

EX-AIDE: BILL FEARED MCDOUGAL BOMBSHELL
By BILL SANDERSON
New York Post

President Clinton worried about being asked under oath whether he had sex with former Whitewater business partner Susan McDougal, former Clinton political adviser Dick Morris said last night.
Speaking on Fox News Channel, Morris said Clinton asked him in May 1994 what to do if he was asked, in testimony during the trial of then-Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, if he had sex with McDougal.

"I just replied, 'If you had sex with her, admit it, tell the truth,'" Morris said on the "Hannity and Colmes" program.

Morris, now a Post columnist, recalled advising Clinton that such an admission would cost him at the polls - "you won't win by 17 points, you'll win by 10 points, but you'll win."

Morris said he advised Clinton against lying under oath, telling him: "Don't commit perjury, because then nobody can help you."

Asked why Clinton would ask him such a question, Morris answered: "I leave that question to your imagination. I can't think of a reason."

McDougal has adamantly denied a sexual relationship with Clinton. But her late ex-husband, Jim McDougal, said he suspected Clinton had an affair with his wife. McDougal died last year.

Clinton testified by videotape in the 1996 trial of the McDougals and Tucker. All three were found guilty of fraud and conspiracy charges involving a $300,000 loan.

Susan McDougal spent 18 months in prison for refusing to testify before one of independent counsel Kenneth Starr's grand juries.

She is now awaiting trial in Arkansas on federal obstruction-of-justice and criminal-contempt charges.

Larry Flynt's Daughter Fears Being 'Fosterized'

NewsMax.com (Inside Cover)
January 23, 1999

Saturday, January 23, 8:00 AM

By all accounts, the news conference was a bust.

Tonya Flynt-Vega, the daughter of Larry Flynt, said she had the goods and journalists by the droves came to collect the latest dirt. She had promised evidence that her pornographer father's campaign to "out" members of Congress involved in the senate impeachment trial was being fed by the White House.

But in the end, it was coitus interruptus as Flynt-Vega failed to provide the documentation. New Republic writer David Grann hustled to speak with her after the news conference, and she explained she couldn't reveal the proof because she was worried about her safety.

"I hope I don't end up in some park like Vince Foster," said Flynt-Vega.

Perhaps it isn't Larry Flynt but rather the ghost of Vince Foster that is the real secret weapon of the White House ...

Do We Dare Compare Clinton and Hitler?

America in Crisis

The world economic problems were the culminating blows to the Bush Administration. Toward the end of the 1980's, many Savings and Loans were forced to close and disorders broke out in many cities. The number of unemployed reached sixteen million, and desperate, jobless workers roamed the streets shouting, "Will work for food!" Night after night, police and military forces battled the hungry mobs.

Up to this time the Clinton's had attracted only lukewarm support. By the summer of 1992, however, their numbers increased, and the Clinton's became the most influential among the Democrats. Hungry, frightened and desperate, the impoverished masses turned to Clinton as a source of salvation.

Once the Clinton's began to gain popularity, Clinton and his master propagandist, James Carville, organized town hall meetings all over America. Thrilled by these colossal displays, mesmerized by rituals and ranting speeches, the masses gave Clinton increasing support.

Clinton becomes President

For the Democratic Party, when the Clinton's ran against the incumbent George Bush for the Presidency of the American Republic, 1992 was a crucial year. Although the Clinton's had been defeated in a few primaries, the Democrats asked the Clinton's to move their campaign headquarters from Little Rock, Arkansas to the District of Columbia. The Clinton's refused demanding what was equivalent to dictatorial power.

It became increasingly difficult for the Bush Administration to carry on the government, and in November the general election was held. Some observers had hoped that the Clinton's had passed the crest of their power. At this point, however, a clique of Perot supporters and those fearful of another Reagan Revolution, threw their support to the Clinton's.

In January of 1993, a cabinet "that looked like America" was formed with Clinton at the head. Because he already had a clear majority in the Congress, he did not have to call for another election. During the campaign and increasingly afterwards, the news broadcasts were monopolized by The Dominant Media Culture, and The Politically Correct Thought Police coerced the people. But many Americans became disgusted with the strong arm methods and the Clinton's needed a dramatic incident to clear a majority in The Presidential Approval Poll.

Just after the election, fire gutted The Waco Compound. The blaze was blamed on the Branch-Davidians, though there was strong and justified suspicion that it was started by The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. When The Presidential Approval Poll was taken, the Clinton's rating was 44 percent. To this was added the support of The Dominant Media Culture and The Educational Establishment, giving the Clinton's a bare majority.

Quickly, the Congress passed the 1993 Tax Reform Act which granted the Clinton's the right to tax the people for the next four years. The American Constitution was never, only informally, abolished. The Congress continued as a phantom legislature, but nearly all political power was exercised by one person, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Clinton's ruthlessly smashed the institutions and people by which they had come to power. All rivals who had spoken out against the Clinton's were not allowed to take from The Pork Barrel War Chest, nor were they invited to The White House.

Clinton's Persecution of the Christian Right

The Doctrine of Liberal Superiority formed an integral part of the Clinton's program. The Christian Right bore the brunt of the Clinton's persecution. They were blamed for The Congressional Spending Deficit, for all that was bad about capitalism, for homelessness, for George Bush losing The White House and even for ozone depletion.

All these were represented as facets of a Reaganesque plot to destroy America and seize control of the culture. That such a fantastic tale was seriously believed by a considerable number of the citizens of a supposedly civilized nation indicated the state of near psychosis into which America had fallen.

Once they were President, the Clinton's did everything to stifle and destroy The Christian Right. The people, at first were handed Five Executive Orders signed by Clinton himself. Unborn children were declared to be "non-persons" and were stripped of all rights. The Clinton Administration then began a relentless push to the left.

Clinton Propaganda and Education

Intensive effort was made to instill a single pattern of thought in literature, the press, drama, music, broadcasting, art and the movies. Censured books, including the original works of The American Founding Fathers, were rewritten and the original works disappeared from public view.

The school system was integrated with agents from The National Education Association, which drilled and regimented boys and girls from the ages 10 to 14. The American Universities, once famous throughout the world for their academic freedom, became agencies for propagating such ideas as Multi-Culturalism and The Superiority of Feminist Ideals. Enrollment in the Universities was limited to good liberal stock and professors were dismissed by the score.

Public Works

In theory and in outward form, the Clinton's retained capitalism and private property. However, both business and labor became rigidly controlled by the state. Labor Unions were on the decline, and both workers and employers were enrolled in a new organization, The Medical Health Alliance. Compulsory dues were taken from worker's wages to support the Clinton's organizations. As a sop, the workers were told they were receiving free health care.

The government's attempt to solve America's economic problems included levying a huge tax load on the middle class and increasing the national debt by one trillion in order to provide work for the unemployed. To create jobs, the first five year plan, established in 1993, initiated an extensive program of Pork Barrel Projects. The unemployed were put back to work helping to build The Information Super Highway.

Summary

The Congressional Spending Deficit and the confusion over who was responsible for the economic problems, brought the Clinton's to power. This in turn led to global confusion. In the eighties, the Reagan Administration had brought to the country the longest peacetime economic recovery in history, but The Dominant Media Culture succeeded in stifling that remembrance.

The Totalitarian Powers came perilously close to losing the Presidency in the fall of 1994. However, after years of listening to The Rush Limbaugh Radio Show, the people were no longer confused and victory quickly ensued. The Democratic Party was crushed into oblivion and the Clinton's returned to their home in Little Rock, Arkansas in complete disgrace.
