1. He knows how to make people smile cuz he really enjoys people
and they feel it.

Contrast to Bunker Man and Hide in Planes Boy is really something.

2. My grandmother had an expression
"The bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral."

To her, it was high praise. He has that quality.

65. Morality blah blah blah
What bullshit. The "morality" crap is pure bullshit, or the Rethugs wouldn't vote for Bush, Cheney, or any of the other criminals. If you doubt it, look up Clinton's approval rating while he was being impeached.

56. Some people would mess up anything! I have met Clinton


and I would strongly suggest that anyone that did not think he was genuine, needs to forget it!

I can tell you that those that were present, LOVED HIM with all their hearts.

Perhaps those that think otherwise need to return to the Freeper Board.

..because otherwise the fuckwit right would have left him alone.

Except for Whitewater
Except for Travelgate
Except for Filegate
Except for "killing" Vince Foster
Except for running drugs in Arkansas
Except for Kathleen Wiley.

You don't get it. Rethugs simply make shit up. Doesn't matter whjat Clinton did or didn't do, they were going to go after him no matter what.

Just as they did with Gore. Just as they did with Dean. Just as they did with Kerry.

16. And he made me cry the day after 9/11
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 12:29 PM by Terran
I'll never forget the coverage of him walking around NYC talking to people, and this one woman just completely lost it right in front of him and was crying uncontrollably. He hugged and held her and just comforted her in the moment of things, he didn't even have to say anything that anyone but she could hear. And in the background someone yelled, "We wish you were still President!"

If I'd ever had a doubt about what kind of person he was before that day, it was laid to rest at that moment. He made me so proud.

And then contrast that to the performance put on by the talking monkey with the megaphone the next day or however many days it took that POS to get his sorry ass to New York.

9. He actually talks to people.
I was at an event in Iowa in 2003 (the Tom Harkin Steak Fry) and toward the end Clinton (after speaking with incredible eloquence for forty-five minutes without notes) came along a fence to shake hands. Someone stopped him and engaged him in conversation for about five minutes, and never once did Clinton look away from that person. His entire attention was riveted on the other person.

I also noticed that he has the most beautiful hands I've ever seen on a man.

And the other cool thing that day was that it was carried on c-Span, and my husband got a glimpse of me shaking Clinton's hand!

10. When Clinton was running in '92, he came to our little town. . .
. . .on his bus tour. And he held our baby (now 13!) and threw him up in the air and jounced him on his hip and talked to us about the baby, and us, and about our town for about 10 minutes. For those ten minutes baby Ben was the only person in the world for Bill. God I love that man!

He exuded charisma like no one else I have ever met. It was truly incredible.

How cute! I love that about Clinton. He does make eye contact with the person and really enjoys talking to people. George just looks so bored.

Billy Graham and Bill Clinton are better men than you'll ever be. And you can't do jack squat to change that because you're so blinded by hatred and rage.

15. The main difference
The Big Dawg is a real human being, warts and all, and has never tried to be anything other than what he is. Chimpy is a badly made audio-animatronic construct that escaped from Disney's developmental lab. The man has no honest human emotions and the only people he can pretend to like are those who suck up to him.

Once I worked with a guy who did some advance work for Bill - he said that Clinton was the most charismatic person he'd ever met in his life. He said that Clinton filled the room with his presence and looked every person straight in the eye when speaking to them. Yuo've either got it or you don't, and the Big Dawg has it to spare.

You are deeply mired in the logic flaw that since one thing preceded a second, the first caused the second. The election was stolen, we did win.

63. It only takes one person to ruin your frickin' day.
This had the beginnings of one of the more positive and touching threads we have around here. If you want to rework 2000, go to GD: Politics and start your own thread.

The fact is, he does care for people, he is as real a person as we've ever had. He is gracious, kind, interested in those around him. I have met him in a casual and unmanaged setting and he was nothing but gracious. Compare him with *'s odd looks of mystery wondering why he was around so many dark skinned people.

You've successfully ruined this thread, have a good day!

Anyone who cares more about a blow job than an illegal invasion has some seriously screwed up priorities.
