Reply #10: once again [View All]

i dunno how many times this hasta be stated by someone, but ill do it again....


neither were the choices of progressives/liberals.

like every election, liberals are expected to pick the person closest to them(even if they dont share 90% of ideals) and vote for them...
because hey, we wouldnt DARE leave the democratic party...

did liberals want another GHB term? hell no! so what do ya do ? oh, thats right... vote for the person who least opposes your ideology...

clinton was lucky he was in office during the great tech boom of the 90s and he happened to manage it all really well... but to suggest any of his policies actually led to the economic upturn is crazy. just like republicans are bat shit crazy for sayin it was the republican congress. it was neither. had nothing to do with politics.

so once again

clinton nor the republicans had jack shit to do with the economic prosperty, but they didnt hurt it...
clinton won because liberals had no other choice and because republicans decided they liked that whacky fellow from the texas/arkansas border who could talk business.


was he a bad president? gosh no, especially compared to the ones before and hafter...
but a great president?
hardly.
