(46,179 posts)He was simply the extension of the worst disaster to befall our nation at least in my lifetime: Ronald Reagan.
RR, though, was such a beloved myth to so many that it took another 4 years after his departure to finally kick free.
I didn't like Bill Clinton from the very first; I first heard of him when he and H went on 60 minutes, where she rationalized his cheating ways and her standing by her man as "not standing by her man." I don't like cheaters. I find that cheaters can't be trusted not to cheat, surprisingly enough.
My dislike and distrust was born out; he cheated AGAIN on H, and he betrayed the left with NAFTA, for one.
His cheating opened the door for the debacle of 2000 and for 8 horrific years under GWB. Not that 2000 was his fault. Election fraud and an indefensible Supreme Court selection brought us GWB. Still, the stains left by his administration helped.
Imagine? Okay. But let's REALLY imagine. Let's imagine what could be if the U.S. elected a non-corporate, clean, well left-of-center president and Congress that would actually fight for the people. As long as I'm imagining, I'll imagine the best outcome.
