Politics & Government - 28 August 2007

Open Letter to the Clintons, Bill & Hillary:


Worse than you thought & worth remembering - this came from a Democrat.


Dear Mr. Ex-President Clinton:


I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted
for

Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am
sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula
Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and
Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?



2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had
really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with
him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college.



3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work
place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you
have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know
that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while
the other one does NOT have sex.



4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a
New generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the Movie
"Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.



5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford
look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful,
and John Kennedy look moral.



6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled
the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid
testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.


7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4
imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges
and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other " Clinton " scandals.



8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much

These are just SOME of the politicians only

I can't seem to think of any liberals -- maybe conservatives here can help me out here. I'm absolutely sure they'll blame it on the liberal media somehow

I dont undersatnd liberals and conservatives. BOTH want the federal government running our schools yet... both HATE the other side.
I personally don't want Bill Clinton near sex ed.. I am sure liberals have plenty of things they dont want GW teaching either.

Leave curriculum to local school boards to decide and leave the money there as well.

Get GW and BC out of small town USA and let parents and teachers LOCALLY decide what their kids should be taught.

Does anyone get my point? I asked this before and nope.. they didnt get it then either.

Big Business + Big Government = Big Brother

I am an average 61 year old guy with average income and just had a quadruple bypass surgery. The surgical team was excellent. The cardiologists were excellent. The other doctors and nurses were excellent. The hospital facilities were excellent. My insurance company has stepped up to the plate and paid for all the major expense items. My medications are state of the art and my co-pay is about five bucks a prescription. I hear the extreme rich and extreme poor complain but why should I be unhappy about health care?

Since the definition of poverty does not include the effect of government sponsored income benefits like tax credits, food stamps, and medicaid? Regardless of how much the government gives, they will still be considered poor...

"In Iraq, our troops are taking the fight to the extremists and radicals and murderers all throughout the country. Our troops have killed or captured an average of more than 1,500 al Qaeda terrorists and other extremists every month since January of this year. (Applause.)"

Does Bush's policy of fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here......is it working?

I know ONE thing. That's 1,500 terrorists a month that can no longer attack us on our soil.

Thanks for keeping us safe Mr. President

I personally feel that women who are NOT married, get pregnant, and have no intention of staying with the guy should NOT EVEN be entitled to support payments...I find it disgusting that so many single women here are asking how to get support payments when they had no plans on being with the guy
- I feel if you get pregant you should be able to support the kid on your own - or DO NOT GET PREGNANT...

Its different if you are married and the guy then leaves you - but I am talking about those who get pregnant with no intent on a relationship...

who agrees - and if not.. why not??? (wondering about lawyers opinions too)

Have you ever "misconstrued" a guy looking into your stall in a public bathroom, moving his foot under your stall and putting his hand under the space between the stalls, as Republican Senator Larry Craig claims was when he did those things? Just asking....

2007-08-28 03:41:04 · 4 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Politics & Government

I don't think so.

But what about a group that murders more people every day than the KKK has killed over the last 50 years combined?

What about a group that preaches the same hatred of everyone else, especially Jews?

Is it "hate speech" to point out and denounce OTHER people's hate speech and hateful actions?

So, for example, if New York said that its primary would be one week before New Jersey's, and New Jersey said that its primary would be one week before New York's, then what would happen?

Are there any other laws that are circular references?

and stated "There is no way we can win this war against the US. We need to return to our goat farms, there is no way we can defeat the most powerful army in the world."
What kind of effect would that have on his Jihadist followers?
What would that do for the morale of a would-be suicide bomber?
What kind of effect would that have on the US public support for the war against terror?
Now imagine the roles being reversed, a US Senator, (who shall remain nameless), proclaiming we are destined to fail and that we need to retreat.

How can we break the resolve of a weaker enemy when they are constantly emboldened by the remarks of our defeatist leadership? Isn't in the best interest of our country to succeed in this struggle?

The media keeps blaming banks for offering these loans (rightly so), but I have yet to hear ONE liberal question the individuals who were dumb enough to get themselves into a situation they could have predicted. I advised a friend not to take out an ARM (then he borrowed 100K for improvements!!!), and now that he is losing his house, he wants to blame everyone else. This is a man who graduated from college.
