Looking from the outside, I prefer an American President lying about pot and sex instead about matters of war, human rights, international law, the economy etc. I spent quite some time in the US in the 90's and thought it was a very prosperous time with people being happy and optimistic. Really do not understand the Clinton haters. Yes, he is morally corrupt, but to me he seems to have been a good president in matters of importance, i.e. the economy and foreign policy.

Kennedy 0 #30 June 21, 2004 As much as I hate to agree with benny, I don't follow your statement. I understand that the twelfth states that anyone ineligible to office of President is ineligible to be VP. If you're saying the twenty second amendment has no bearing, how is Clinton ineligible? If you're saying he's ineligible for Pres under the 22nd, and thereby the 12th, well, that wouldn't be getting elected, now would it? I agree with you, it's a silly argument, but a lawyer could easily argue the difference between being eligble for the office and being elected to the office. They're lawyers. Ridiculous is what they do.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

World leaders said he seemed oily. I know people who have met him tell me they got the creeps from him. I am ashamed the US ever elected a draft dogging, cheating, liar to the White House. What did that say about the US as a whole? From OBL's "Letter to America" Quote(iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object. Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations? SO I would not say that the world respected him.

PhillyKev 0 #38 June 21, 2004 I never disputed that Clinton was a liar. I just find it interesting that you use the rationale of a madman to support that position. As far as the morality of the country, I find it much more morally repugnant to elect someone who sends people to kill and be killed needlessly then someone who gets a blow job. How many blow jobs have you gotten from someone you weren't married to? How many people did you send to war? You could probably relate to Clinton a lot more than Bush in the morals department. And if you want to continue the morals argument, I think it says volumes about the priorities in this country when a convicted criminal is elected to the White House.

mr2mk1g 10 #41 June 21, 2004 You two crack me up. That is the funniest non-argument I have ever heard. Tuna – you really need to actually read the question Benny is putting. Benny, try putting it in other words for Tuna and isolate the issue so he can’t miss it. Tuna, try this version of the same question you’ve been asked a dozen times: Why does the 12th amendment make BC ineligible for VP? Try answering without reference to the 22nd amendment and without simply stating that he is ineligible because you say so, or because of someone else’s opinion. You appear to be of the view that it is the 12th amendment that makes BC ineligible… precisely what about the 12th makes him so? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #43 June 21, 2004 Personally, I think blowjobs are an excellent idea. I think everyone should have them readily available. I don't really even worry that he cheated on his wife. However, he exposed himself to an employee (Paula Jones) with the expectation of sex. Sexual harrassment of an employee is against the law. He lied about it under oath. He lied about so many things, but lying (he admitted it about ML) under oath is perjury and perjury is against the law. His continual lying and law-breaking is the part that I don't like. As far as terrorism policies, if he had done anything about it initially in '93, the WTC would still be standing. His foreign policy sucked, his military policies sucked. We all suffer for it today.

My issue is not him getting a BJ....It is him lying about it to his wife, the American people, and the courts while under oath about it. As for his impeachment....Nothing came of it did it? No fine, no jail time, he was not removed from office. Not one bit of punishment for a guy that commited perjury while acting as President. THATS my issue. He lied and got away scott free. That makes the US look bad. QuoteAre you agreeing with OBL that Clinton getting a blow job was a legitimate reason for 9/11? No and for you to even say that is stupid. It DOES show that that the President cared so little for the image of his office. And that he was a corrupt person. For some reason we elected him, didn't punish him when we found out, and some people like you still defend his actions. THAT shows us in a bad light. Quote Do you actually believe that was the reason for the attack? No, but it was funny that OBL used Clinton as an example of how corrupt the US is...And you defending his actions just goes to show how corrupt we really are....Talk about someone with his head in the sand...

Gravitymaster 0 #50 June 21, 2004 IMO Clinton has been the best thing to happen to the Republican Party in the last 100 years. Think about it. He was instumental in the Republicans being voted in as the majority in the Senate and the House because of his and Hillarys failed socialized medicine plan. Had he resigned as President instead of being the narcissist he is, Al Gore would have succeeded him as President and would have run against GWB as an incumbent and Al Gore would most likely have been re-elected. Of course then, the Lefties would be defending Al Gore for going into Iraq. Thank you Bill Clinton. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
