8. I have felt betrayed by Clinton
since he first showed his colors as a DLC Democrat by rushing NAFTA and GATT through Congress without holding them up in order to get something for ordinary people, like a rational minimum wage hike or universal healthcare insurance. Even his tax hike on the rich was timid.

He was always too quick to cave to them, showing that ideologically he was much closer to the pubbies than to rank and file Democrats.

He'd have been a total loss had he not stood up to the right wing religious nut jobs and refused to resign during the impeachment circus.

IMO, that is the only thing that saved his presidency.
