yet another wingnut claim about Clinton, what's the truth?

[ButterflyBlood]

Now I'm having one tell me that Clinton illegally sold nuclear technology to the Chinese in exchange for campaign funds.

If this is true (which I doubt), wouldn't that be a much more valid reaosn to pursue his impeachment than a blowjob?

1. LOL

If this were true, Clinton would have been hanged, and he would deserve it.

You're right: if this had been true, the fact he lied about a blowjob would not have even been heard of.

2. My mom believes that as well

and now the Chinese have missiles pointed at both coasts. I think it's in a book she has. So I can't help with the truth, but I too am interested.

4. I don't know the facts.

but I was under the impression that Nixon made friends with them and Reagan started selling them rockets to launch satellites. (An outsourcing thing because they could do it cheaper than NASA.)
These rockets could be altered to become missles aimed at us.

Please correct my misconceptions.

5. Here's a debunk

Looks pretty thorough. The waivers started under Bush, continued with Clinton and continue with Bush as well.

6. It began under Reagan, I believe

[sandnsea]

8. You're probably right

I just skimmed through the articles. I read up on it a long time ago. Aren't these companies connected more to Bush, my very hazy memory seems to recall that there was more Republican pressure on this than Democratic, under Clinton. But I'm not sure.

[Solly Mack]

9. More of a connection to Republicans than to Clinton, yes

and this was just one more push by the GOP to find something on Clinton..to try and impeach him.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

10. Yep...that's the correct story. That's why they didn't pursue Loral...

...or Clinton on this particular charge.

[madrchsod]

7. so what? bush is in charge

tell him since bush is in charge now he should fix it--send in the fleet..shit, he just did that. ask him if bush attacks china where is he going to shop and what is he going to but that isn`t made in china?

11. kick

12. Hey, if these morons are still obsessing over Clinton, they have given up

on the Chimp. Let them believe what they want. Ask them if they think we should impeach Clinton. Remind them that Clinton's legacy is so powerful (and W's so weak) that they still think he is president.

13. Starr Couldn't Find Any Dirt On Clinton

Other than spending years and $70 Million of the taxpayer's dollars to nail him for one bj.

Or was Starr taking money from the Chinese too?

[Yupster]

15. One BJ?

I think there were lots of bj's. Then there was that cigar thing.

14. most weapon and tech secrets are sold by the MIC itself.

they'd sell their wife and kids for a few bucks. plus, it raises the need for new counter-technology when the opposition gets the old stuff on line.
