1. thank you!

Some folks seem to have forgotten he did some good things.


I didn't agree with everything he did, but he was much better than the alternative.

[Beacool]

2. Hear, hear!!!

Thanks for posting this list of accomplishments.

:-)

[BlooInBloo]

3. lol!

Shorter Clinton supporter: "Why don't you love him and her??? (sobs) I CAN'T STOP UNTIL YOU ALL LOVE THEM!!!!!"

[TexasObserver]

4. Bill Clinton's economy was so good, it created Republicans greedy to keep more.

People who hit 18 about the time Bill took office and benefited greatly from his economy often ended up Republicans by the end of his term, because they had never realized how bad life is under GOP rule. They actually bought the lies the GOP tells about how they were allegedly fiscally conservative.

[Captain Hilts]

7. As with the case of the New Deal, it's true!

FDR: That WASN'T the idea!!!

[ProSense]

5. One of Clinton's biggest failures

Supporting dergulation:

Clinton said he doesn't regret is his 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act

[MessiahRp]

8. Also NAFTA and Welfare Reform...

All three have had a pretty steep impact on what's going on now.

[Captain Hilts]

17. China and Indonesia are in NAFTA! Who knew?

[MessiahRp]

19. No but NAFTA hurt us with jobs that went to Mexico and let's face it...

NAFTA was the Free Trade Gateway drug. Once NAFTA was fine and dandy, every other trade agreement was as well.

Rp

[bvar22]

20. No, but MFN Trade Status for China is.

Look it up.

[moondust]

31. They might as well be.

NAFTA didn't just open the door to outsourcing jobs to Canada and Mexico. It was an official gov't position that implicitly sanctioned the outsourcing of jobs in general. After NAFTA how could anyone argue that it's okay to outsource jobs to Canada and Mexico but not to China and Indonesia?

[regnaD kciN]

24. And the "Defense of Marriage" Act...

[mtnsnake]

12. There is nothing you can say to change the fact that Clinton's record is splendid

Nothing, so you might as well face that music, ProSense.

[countingbluecars]

6. Life was definitely better

when Clinton was president, but your Jesus like worship is a bit much for me.

[wisteria]

9. I don't want the f*king Clinton's back, I don't care what the record looked like on paper.

Thing did start to fall apart after he left office and there was always one shady dealing or the suggestion of one constantly in the news. And, then there was the lie about him not having sex with Monica with a cigar. Ugh, I want to move on and away from the Clinton's.

[mtnsnake]

10. You have cried enough tears the last few days to irrigate every farmer's field on the planet.

Good grief.

[mtnsnake]

11. Tell it like it is, baby!

K&R!

[HCE SuiGeneris]

13. Let me get my vestments so that I may pay proper homage.

While Clinton was an asset, this weird adoration and iconic love confounds me.

[bertman]

14. Let's not forget the 1996 Telecom deregulation gave us the bigger and better media

conglomerates we now have.

Bill Clinton stated "we will support removal of judicial and legislative restrictions on all types of telecommunications companies: cable, telephone, utilities, television and satellite. Market forces replace regulations and judicial models that are no longer appropriate."

Bill Clinton did a lot of good things as President, but when he fucked up he did it in a big way.

[girl gone mad]

15. And the DMCA..

which was an atrocity.

[bertman]

18. DMCA? I'm drawing a blank on those initials, girl gone mad.

[PBS Poll-435]

25. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Passed in the House via a "voice" vote.

Passed unanimously in the Senate.

Clinton should have vetoed it!!!












:eyes:

[bertman]

29. Thanks. I was out of the loop on that one.

[laugle]

16. Thanks for the stats!

Ahh......remember the good old days.......What I remember most is there were jobs,jobs, jobs, and the salaries were fantastic, especially in the tech field. It's sad how far we have fallen because of the election of the stupidest, most stubborn A-hole on the planet. I'm so glad he will be gone!!

I'm hoping Obama will take from the good things that Clinton did and learn from the pitfalls and mistakes as well.

If he does, I think he will do a good job.

[bvar22]

21. "BOW YOUR HEADS" !!!! Kneel before the Clinton altar !!!

BOW YOUR HEADS—“Thank you God for sending us a man of Bill
Clinton's character, intelligence, knowledge of governance,
ability to face up to crises without whimpering and a great
leader of the world. Amen”.
THANK YOU GOD FOR THE GOOD TIMES THE CLINTON YEARS.

Maybe you should ask the families of the 500 thousand (1/2 MILLION) Iraqi children that died as a direct result of the Clinton sanctions to "THANK YOU GOD FOR THE GOOD TIMES THE CLINTON YEARS"


excuse me while I puke.

Where are all the conservatives coming from?
DU used to be a Progressive/Liberal Forum.



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

[happychatter]

22. dotcom boom, housing bubble.... this is all a crock of shit

everyone KNOWS his actions caused the media monopoly, the deregulation set us up for THIS CURRENT debacle... he SHIT on the poor

maybe you like that stuff eh?

is it OK to hate the poor now? the "morally deficient" poor?

[happychatter]

23. My poor friends are now in abject poverty because of Clinton and my Middle Class friends?

just lost their homes and retirements

they've been two loan denials from public transportation and homelessness for 12 years thanks to Clinton

Now thanks to his CRONIES in the GOP, they ARE homeless

this is ALL due to Clinton's collusion

kma

[mtnsnake]

30. You are full of it up to your eyeballs. Why are you here?

[AtomicKitten]

[BlooInBloo]

28. C'mon Clinton supporters! Clap louder! Or else Tinkerbell will die!!!!

:rofl:

http://crookedtimber.org/2003/09/08/think-of-a-wonderful-thought/

You remember how in the second act Tinkerbell drinks some poison that Peter is about to drink in order to save him? And then Peter turns to the audience and he says, “Tinkerbell is going to die because not enough people believe in fairies. But if all of you clap your hands real hard to show that you do believe in fairies, maybe she won’t die.”

So, we all started to clap. I clapped so long and so hard that my palms hurt and they even started to bleed I clapped so hard. Then suddenly the actress playing Peter Pan turned to the audience and she said, “That wasn’t enough. You did not clap hard enough. Tinkerbell is dead.” And then we all started to cry. The actress stomped off stage and refused to continue with the production. They finally had to lower the curtain. The ushers had to come help us out of the aisles and into the street

:rofl:
