You all seem to think Bill Clinton, and the thing he calls wife, are the greatest things since sliced bread, or at least better than anything a conservative has to offer. I ask you then, what 3 policies Bill Clinton initiated, pushed for, signed into law, that improved the economy?

I contend that the economy boomed in the 90's due to Reagan's policies and that by the end of the Clinton adinistration the economy was headed towards the toilet.

So here is your chance to at least give evidence to try to prove me wrong. List exactly what slick willy did that had a positive impact on our economy and please, explain how that action worked.

I think he's gonna get a real kick outta listening to me talking nasty to my girlfriend. I can put off opening the cocaine dealership for 6 months in order to avoid having my head chopped off, how 'bout you? I mean, the Democrats passed this legislation because the Republicans made them be scared about terrorism. Why shouldn't I be afraid too??

Gotta love that sunset provision!! Kinda' tamps down all that Bush-paranoia don't ya think? Besides, would you want Hillary listening in if she gets elected? ...oh, I forgot, she can just go snatch up anybody's FBI jacket any time she wants....

Would you Republicans rather have a Congress that cut funding for the war, started impeachment against the President, and refused to extend the right for the government to listen in on international phone calls for the purpose of fighting terrorism ?
If not, then why are you complaining about the job Congress is doing ? Are you actually upset at the few domestic victories that Congress has achieved ?

If given the oppurtunity to make history, would you take it? And when I mean "history", I mean it on either a national or global scale. Perhaps even at a level that would earn you a place in most school textbooks for decades to come. And because of this, you would be remembered and frequently talked about long after you finally died.

So how important would it be for you to make history? And also consider this: it might not be for something that is good and desirable. But regardless of what it was for, you would NEVER be forgotten.

Seems to me, by watching the latest news the Democrats are constantly giving Bush what he wants. Question is now, who is left to fight for a diifferent plan?

Both of these men have stabbed America in the back. They have committed acts of treason and should be thrown out of the white house.

Further elaboration welcome:

From my previous question.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070805163122AAV53t7&r=w
I have learned:

1. The new FISA law was "was hastily passed out of fear"....
--- I guess the republicans scared them. BOOO!!

2. ...or it was passed because "Bush threatened to veto anything less"......
--- Can't Veto an empty desk

3. ...or "The White House was using scare tactics and accusing the Democrats of leaving the country defenseless in the face of possible terrorist attacks. Those kinds of tactics actually work."....
--- So the republicans DID scare them. BOOO again - LOL!!

4. ...or "the Democrats were afraid that if we got attacked again, it would be blamed on them if they didn't pass this bill. "....
--- boo, Boo, Boo, BOOO!!! ...so they believed it was wrong but were not willing to stake their public reputation on that belief? They chose appearances over doing what they believed was right?

There is a news story out there, "American Terrorist Threatens U.S. in New Al Qaeda Video".
I just wondered if it was one of them.

America has been going downhill. The dollar is almost worthless. China and European Union are gaining ground. The war seems to have bankrupted the nation

Here is a preview:

This exercise is especially instructive, because it reveals where the "single-payer," universal coverage folks end up. Democrats who run the Wisconsin Senate have dropped the Washington pretense of incremental health-care reform and moved directly to passing a plan to insure every resident under the age of 65 in the state. And, wow, is "free" health care expensive. The plan would cost an estimated $15.2 billion, or $3 billion more than the state currently collects in all income, sales and corporate income taxes. It represents an average of $510 a month in higher taxes for every Wisconsin worker.

Healthcare *USED* to be both affordable and readily available. The way to solve the problem is to remove government incursion. History both records it and proves it.

BAGHDAD -- U.S. troops killed the al-Qaida in Iraq mastermind of the bombing that destroyed the golden dome of a famed sacred Shiite shrine last year and set in motion an unrelenting cycle of sectarian bloodletting, the military said Sunday.

Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri, the group's Salahuddin province emir, was killed in a U.S. operation east of Samarra on Thursday, the military said He also was responsible for the June 13 bombing that toppled the Askariya shrine's twin minarets.

I think that the political parties (Republican and Democrat) are not needed. I think Republican and Democrat, Liberal and Conservative, Left-wing and Right-wing should not matter.It is possible for a politician to have Liberal views on some issues, and conservative views on others.This was what Hillary Clinton was ACCUSED of regarding the war. I think its wrong to force her or anyone else of backpedaling. I think it should be ok if she (or anyone else) to run as one platform but maybe have the opposite view on some issues...your thoughts?

....is a republican-perpetrated assault on the civil liberties of Americans? I saw a democrat congressman complaining that A.G. Gonzales cannot be left as the "gatekeeper of American Civil Liberties" as is now the case with the newest iteration of FISA.

If the new FISA puts us in such great peril as the democrats say, why did a democrat-controlled house and senate pass it in the first place?

Is it that democrats care about our liberties, but not enough to keep them from caving in to republican evil so they could go on their one month vacation?

...or did evil republicans somehow force enough democrats to vote for it to make it pass?

I'm really mystified how a party can pass legislation and then immediately turn around and gripe about it. Can someone please explain?

NOTE: "Bush Bush Bush Bush Puhtooooeee" is NOT an explanation.
