Let us pretend that Bill Clinton has been our president for the past few
years...

Let us pretend that Clinton was first elected in 2000; his brother was the governor of Florida and the electoral votes from Florida put him in office.

A few months later, terrorists fly planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. While this is happening, Clinton decides to continue reading to a group of elementary school students and does nothing.

Clinton decides that if would be wise to let a plane load of Arabs-some with the last name Bin Laden, leave the country without being questioned.

A few months later during the hearings, Clinton decides he doesn't want to testify under oath and doesn't. He does say that he enjoyed his "talk" with the committee.

Clinton then decides to sell a war against Iraq. He and his cronies lie to the American public, lie to Congress, and lie to the United Nations. We go to war. While at war, our soldiers are getting killed because they don't have sufficient equipment and protection.

Gore, Clinton's Vice President, used to be the CEO of a company and grants them several no bid contracts to re-build Iraq. The value of his stock holdings increases about 3000%. Anyone who questions this company is dismissed.

We then learn that Clinton's administration reveals the identity of an undercover CIA agent. Clinton does nothing to the men involved after promising that he would.

A massive hurricane hits the gulf coast and many people die. The destruction is devastating. Clinton is on vacation, and decides he will go to a birthday party for Ted Kennedy and while he is there, plays a few songs on the saxaphone. He waits a couple more days before doing anything to help the people of the gulf coast.

My question to you all is, "What color of rope would the rethugs use to hang Clinton and his administration? Would the hangings take place in public or behind closed doors?"

I was talking with a friend of mine and we were listing all of the bullshit we could think of that this crooked ass administration has done. Clinton would not have lasted two weeks before the rethugs started calling for his impeachment. I am just amazed at the level of corruption the people of this country will tolerate.

4. The first calls to impeach
would have happened in March, 2001, when our make believe Clinton sucked off the Chinese to get our airplane and crew back... and then in pieces via Russia.

5. Ooooh, I forgot about that...
And the submarine turned into a crony cruse ship that sank a Japanese boat.

7. It's the fear.....
So many of our older generation (my parents and mother in law to name a few) still have an overwhelming sense of fear, fear that this administration has artfully flooded into the MSM - so much so that they honestly believe that if they do not support the current administration and that crook of a president that something BAD will happen.....it's a 'if I don't pay too close attention then it's really not that bad" attitude. That and the fact that I believe that a lot of people can't see past Bush's "faith" message either. It's scary and I am honestly concerned for the life my children will have when they become adults and have absolutely no civil rights left or a country they can be proud of.
