Oh yeah...an intern blew him.

That's much worse than all the crimes the republicans are doing now. I'm glad we got rid of him. Whew.

1. Just horrendous, wasn't it? A jiz-stain in the Oval Office is MUCH
worse than the stain Bushie made on the reputation of Amurka

7. Lied about a blowjob under oath, deregulated the media,...
...enabled corporate influence of our government. Most everything else was pretty good.

9. He tried to nationalize healthcare, remember?
That's un-American. He wanted gay people in the army. Thats bad. He wanted to shrink the government and grow the economy....And the blow job, of course, nothing worse than that...

That's the only reason the criminal enterprise known as the GOP did what they did.

12. Full employment was just so awful.
Business called it a labor shortage.
Paying decent wages and benefits to
people who work for a living was
just so unfair to business.

15. I made a comment in a business meeting the
other day about there being a lot of job openings in the WHite House soon. Another attendee, lets call him RW, said all this investigation was political, that Clinton was much worse and then made some comment about bags of money from China being brought to the White House. Since it was a business meeting, I let the subject drop rather than counter with something about Clinton getting a bj in the oval office or saying Nobody Died when Clinton Lied. But does anyone know what RW was referring to ??

31. What I say when the, "Clinton got away with horrible things," argument....
is brought up. You Republicans investigated Clinton for 8 years and spent near $100 million of US Gov't doing it. Only one conviction came out of these investigations.... Web Hubble was found to have over-billed some clients at the Arkansas law firm.
'
Now, if you think Clinton got away with something there must be only 2 ways for this to have occured..... You repugs are incompetent investigators or Clinton was just too smart for you people.

Now which was it?

20. Not accurate. NAFTA was initiated by the first Bush, so it's still on him


NAFTA Initialing Ceremony, October 1992

From left to right (standing) President Salinas, President Bush, Prime Minister Mulroney

18. Low interest rates, lower fuel prices, high employment rates, surplus
in the federal government, falling crime rates, intelligent foreign policy, rising test scores in public education, and a better standing in the minds of foreign countrie. In other words........the bad old days.

19. That's not all - he was a lib'rul
and as we all know, lib'ruls hate America, hate God, and hate their mothers. They tend to like that "book lernin'" too.

26. When his staff worked late and on weekends...
they wore jeans and drank coffee out of styrofoam cups. I remember that being a real problem for the repugs. Of course, no real risk of that now--I get the feeling that this is a 9-to-5-with-lots-of-long-lunches-and-prayer-breaks sorta group.

30. lets compare
Clinton seduces a young intern (perv)
Bush chokes on a pretzel and falls off a bike (stupid)

Clinton prevents gays in the military from coming out (mean)
Bush outs a CIA agent and fucks up national security (idiot)

Clinton lies about his sexual activity (drama)
Bush lies about Iraq's involvement in 9/11 and WMD (death)

I' think I'd rather have a mean perv creating drama than a stupid idiot creating death. . .but that is just me.

32. The middle class stood a chance.
Too many women named Tammy and Tonya chomping their gum on the concierge levels of the nice hotels -- can't have that, you know. And the big boys had to pay TAXES! Dreadful, don't you think?
