Who was it that said, in 1998, that it was okay to support the troops but
not the President?

And why aren't more Dems saying the same thing now? :shrug:

Thanks!

7. And he said it with excessive
...though typical, smarminess and satisfaction. He was quite eager to stick it to ole Bill Clinton with that remark.

How delightful to be able to quote a senior GOP Senator when objecting to the current policies undertaken by our fearless leadership.

3. Tom DeLay, I believe....

Nope, Solly Mack is right.

I'm sure DeLay didn't support anything Clinton did, but it was Lott's remark, for sure.

5. Real terror wasn't an issue to Republicans back then.

They were too consumed with the terror residing in President Clinton's pants.
