"During the last few years of the Clinton presidency, we Democrats spent more time and energy

fighting for him rather than him fighting for us."

1. And we should believe a first-day blogger ... why?

He's not even "right on day one"!

--p!

2. I quoted this because it hit me between the eyes. That is all.

Made me sad.

8. It should.

The clear conspiracy that attacked Clinton culminated in the original Bush coup of 2000. We've been enduring the fallout ever since.

Yet the Obama campaign gleefully ties the Clinton administration to the two Bush administrations with its vicious dynasty meme repeated here at least twenty times a day. Last night I saw Clintush repeated over and over, as if they were one and the same administration.

But, by all means, we should vote for Obama because we don't want the Republicans to be mean to us.

10. I don't want to go back there. I dread it.

3. Sour grapes.

[Tom Strong]

4. Truth is: Things were so GOOD under Clinton...

...that the nation could afford to waste it's time on some dumb-ass sex-scandal.

Bring back the good ol' days!

GO HILL!

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. things were okay

don't make it out to seem like they were some nostalgic time like conservatives do with the 50s. They just look better because the 2000s have been so shitty under Bush.

11. I didn't do so good. Doing better now.

[David Zephyr]

5. As Progressives, we were sidetracked from fighting for social/economic/environmental justice.

So much energy wasted on defending his lousy behavior.

7. I'm a Liberal

so it don't count for me. The lousy behavior was widespread and overwelmingly republican. Private sex acts don't concern me. being traded off for votes in the south does.

9. Politically, the Clinton years were a nightmare

The electorate overlooked it because the economy was booming. Democrats tried to look past it, even as their party was slipping into permanent minority status. Just imagine what the Clinton years would have been like had we been in a recession while hemorrhaging billions on an endless, useless, unpopular war...cause that's exactly what it's going to be like if/when Bill (oops, I mean 'Hillary') takes over again.

13. OK, that is a freaking scary thought.

[bigtree]

12. that was MY vote (for Bill Clinton) I was defending
