1. They p-ss and moan about ANYTHING!

First he is a damn liberal, and now he is a conservative? Can't these right-wing dipsticks find anything Clinton did wrong besides a b-j?

[Military Brat]

2. And just look at this sorry statement from that article

"To be sure, much of the credit for Clinton's good policy probably belongs to the Republican Congress, but that is not an excuse for bad policy today."

Notice that word "probably" in there? That's their way of making a point without having to prove anything. It would have been more accurate to say "possibly," but that's asking too much of anyone from the Cato Institute.

Let's blame the Repub Congress for driving Clinton to infidelity, shall we? I mean, people do need release from relentless tension.

6. You could "probably" blame the puke congress

for the government shutdown then.

13. wonderful signature!

[northzax]

15. righto

so let's get this straight. The credit for the Clinton good policy belongs to the Congress, but Bush, with that same republican congress, gets all the credit himself? eh?

3. OMG THIS IS GOLD!!!!!

Pass it around to all your freeper buddies, then send them info on Dean (who has lured many Republicans with his quasi-Libertarian views).

Now I'm not saying Dean is a shoe in, or that it's in the bag. I'm just saying think tactical - this is gold.

4. That's exactly what I'm doing right now.

7. Awesome!

BTW...Clark could be a good sell to the Repubs as well...but he is a bit more to the left than Dean (which is why I'm a Clark Supporter)

10. This is old news...The CATO institute reported on this last year

FYI- CATO is a conservative group. I consider Clinton a moderate Republican.

[Skittles]

14. Clinton genuinely CARED ABOUT PEOPLE

that alone makes him NOT A F***ING REPUBLICAN.

[populistmom]

5. Bush has no belief structure

On economic policy or otherwise. It's about money for his friends, family, and campaign donors. He'll get it to them by way of war, tax cuts, or massive, unworkable programs.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. Careful to note the date

on the article. July 25, 2002

[Bozola]

9. Hah. More dribbleheaded nonsense from the Cato Idiots

You think they'll kill themselves like their namesake did upon defeat?

[Renew Deal]

11. That could be true.

Bush doesn't stand for anything.

[Killarney]

12. Shocked to see Fox pick on Bush at all!

Articles like these are the ones that could swing the fiscal conservative Repubs to our side. Bush is insane with spending right now.

[coloradodem2005]

16. They are right.

Clinton is more conservative than Bush. Fiscally.

[Frodo]

17. Didn't I read here yesterday that DEAN was to the right of Clinton???

If so... I guess this now means that Dean is more conservative than Bush!?!?!?


Don't I have to vote for Bush in this scenario?

:eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes::eyes:

[loudnclear]

18. Then why did they hate him?

I knew all along it was penis envy. Nothing to do with his politics.
