Reply #74: that is a cop out of an excuse [View All]

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

it's not that he didn't do everything i wanted-it's that he did things i din't want, that no progressive wanted, that he claimed not to want when he ran in 92, and that we would expect only from republicans

there's no excuse for the shit he pulled
how can anyone with a conscience vote for NAFTA and GATT (two of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation that you try to brush off with a snide "oh my") and screw workers? simple- he took labor for granted and he got a nice infusion of corporate cash

how can anyone with a soul vote for the so-called welfare bill?

and please explain to me how signing the 1996 telcom bill and giving away the broadcast spectrum and setting up conglomerates like clear channel did anything other than line the pockets of his contributers

clinton was not on our side. if you look past the charisma and catchy slogans , he was basically a neocon minus the war. his domestic agenda wasn't just not liberal enough. it was extreme right wing and set up the neocon economic policies of so-called 'free trade' which he remains an apologist to this day.

and we have nothing to thank him for. by giving voters no reson to vpote democrat, he eroded the base until we lost both houses of congress, setting up a GOP trifecta for the first time in almost 50 years

clinton is a self-serving, GOP-enabling prick
