Poll question: Serious question, not asking your preference: Bill Clinton vs. GW Bush
Again, I'm only asking who you think would actually win - not who you'd WANT to win. No third party candidates in this non-scientific poll.

1. Clinton
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 04:48 PM by Comicstripper
NOT just wishful thinking. He's not my favorite guy, but he was a good president.
He surpasses Bush in style AND substance.
His approval ratings remain in the two-thirds range.
Plus, Bush could just barely pull off either election. With Clinton, it was a cakewalk.

-Ed. for spelling

2. Who counts the votes?
In a fair fight Clinton wins by a knockout.

3. In a Free Country with Trustworthy Voting and a Free Press: Clinton
(although what that has to do with Imperial Amerika is beyond me)

In Imperial Amerika, the Lying Pravda and the Totalitarian Bushevik Sub-Media was something Clinton didn't FULLY have to contend with (oh he had to deal with it, it was still powerful, but not the full-on Sovietized Goebbels Machine it is nowadays).

Finally, with Imperial Amerikan "voting" as laughable as Saddam's "elections", I don't think it's possible for someone outside THE PARTY, like a Democrat or other Enemy of the State, to EVER gain the Imperial Throne.

And that includes Bill Clinton.

14. Read "Evil Money" by Rachel Ehrenfeld
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 10:10 PM by EVDebs
Bill got money to run for prez in 1992 from Jackson Stephens, who Ehrenfeld says got that money from BCCI. In a related deal with Worthen Bank W got his own loot.

Did Clinton know the source ? Who knows ? Did Kerry ? Again, who knows (Kerry was investigating BCCI from the Terrorism/Narcotics cmte) ? But if you want to get into coincidence theory with me, go right ahead.

Stephens is the billionaire from Little Rock with that Alltell company mentioned in "Crossing the Rubicon" by that fromthewilderness.com guy Ruppert.

Take it all in and let the chips fall where they may. The CIA can't handle much more blowback than it's already taking in, a little more couldn't hurt ! BTW, I voted for Clinton (lesser of two evils).

7. Clinton. Landslide. End of story.
Everyone who put him in the WH would come out of the woodwork again, and it would be an embarrassment for Dumbya.

9. I don't know
Everybody forgets Ross Perot. Head to head, with the right wing spin machine, tough to say.

13. but, most everyone already KNOWS Clinton is competent. most voters had no
clue who Kerry was and his long record of opposing government corruption and spotting terrorism as a threat back in the early 90s.

The media has been well-oiled now for years in support of BushInc. It was hard to introduce any new democrat to the public. Stereotypes and lies run rampant on the airwaves.

11. Might not be hypothetical
There's got to be someone (I think a congressman has already
started) who want to repeal the (22nd?) amendment limiting
presidential terms.  If * gets to run in 2008, so does the big
dog.

No small planes, Mr. Clinton.

15. Bush would win
Since you asked who would win rather then who I wanted to win. I think Bush would win.

To a lot of Americans, Bush is viewed as a straight shooter, folksy, down to earth, loves and respects his wife. Strong leader morally.

He has been hit by almost no scandals that have stuck, has been attacked by the MSM on a regular basis. People generally like the guy, even if they didn't vote for him.

Clinton has a lot of baggage: Monica, lied to the American people, pardons, and several scandals that maybe were GOP witch hunts, but there was plenty of smoke to make it look like a fire.

Even to this day, people in his administration are still getting in trouble.

I think the American people would tell Bill Clinton. Thanks Bubba, we love you, but no thanks.
