The man has not been in office since January of 2001 and people are still bashing him. Why do you hate him. Can you give real answers and reasons?

Purple, you are giving generalized statements. Please be specific and if you are going to accuse, please site sources.

i dont hate him, but i served in the military while he was in office and i didnt like having to skip paychecks cause of him, also he did nothing to counter the terrorist strike while he was in office, he might as well invited more attacks...

I don't hate him like I used to. But I still think that the trouble we've had was because he was too soft in foreign policy. I thought he did a good job with welfare reform. But almost everyone I know could not stand him for those 8 years, so the liberals are just seeing how we felt now.

I mostly hate Hillary. She had no right to steal an office in NY by buying a house there just before the election. She's not a NY'er.

I don't hate anyone it is un-christian. I do dislike him very much though and wish he would have showed he has at least one moral value. Here is some of my reasons.
1. I paid for his oral sex.
2. He told my children that oral sex is not sex.
3. He is too stupid to know what "is" means
4. He possibly (likely) could have prevented 9/11
5. He lied even after caught and got away with it.
6. He can't accept responsibilty for his screw ups even today.
7. He covered up many of his screw ups and lied about it.
8. He is responsible for a rcession that he still won't admit.
9. He is still trying to lie today and says he never said things that he was recorded saying.
10. He made the presidency and this country look like a joke to our ally's and enemies.
I could keep going do you want more?
If you need purpleaura and Lee to site their sources you are truly in denial. Their points are common facts. Did you go to sleep for the 8 years he was in office, or just ignore life during that time? To everyone that says there was no war for 8 years, so what, what is your point? Sometimes war is necessary and many great presidents took us into war. Just cause there was no war does not make him a good president especially considering the attacks on the U.S. and U.S. interests during those 8 years.

Bill is a politician they could not beat, out talk, out shame, out rage or in anyway really dent his persona. He will go down in History as a flawed man, but a leader that had great powers at his finger tips at anytime. The Republicans look like children during his Presidency. Bush can only wonder how Bill did it because Bush is a leader but a bad leader and a flawed individual. Clifton well live on in Respect. Bush and his followers well live on in shame.

It's the old blame Bill Clinton because Bush is an idiot routine. You see whenever Bush gets his butt in trouble with America (all the time) Conservatives just play the "it's really Bill Clinton's fault" card. But if you look at a five year poll taken, most agree Bush is the worst President ever, and Clinton ranks higher http://www.pollingreport.com/wh-hstry.htm

He did nothing to improve this country and actually caused more problems. He seemed to only care about having sex and didn't even do anything about the bombing at the World Trade Center which was practically a go-ahead for September 11th. Why do you think the terrorists weren't afraid to attack? He did nothing to improve our military, and he apparently murdered a lot of people (I heard it was somewhere around 200) to get to where he wanted and cover up any past indiscretions he had. If that isn't enough, he managed to get caught about his affair when none of the past presidents did and he even lied under oath! I don't want a leader who will completely disrespect everything this country stands and was founded for and lie to me. I want someone in office I can trust and that has at least a little common sense. Plus, I am strongly against having leaders who support or represent political parties who support gay marriage, gun control, and abortion. I don't agree with it and I don't want a leader who I can't agree with. I feel sorry for his daughter for having such horrible people as parents.

I don't.

I believe Bill Clinton was one of our best presidents ever.

He presided over 8 years of PEACE, the US was not engaged in any wars during his presidency. He presided over the longest most productive economic uptrend in history. He left office with an approval rating in the mid 60's TWICE as much as our current president. He fostered innovation and technological advances like no other president since Kennedy. He amused me to no end with the Leno Jokes on Monicagate. He was/is a good man, a decent human being, a great president.

He lied to the entire world and was caught in that lie, when he said he did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky. The only reason the lie was caught because of the DNA on her dress. He lied about his affair with Gennifer Flowers (taped telephone conversations proved this), he lied about joing ROTC when given his draft notice. These are just the lies he has been caught in, how many more are there? One of his closest confidantes, Dick Morris stated he regularly procured women for Clinton as did Arkansas state troopers. When women weren't obliging to his advances they were sexually assaulted and in one case even raped.
He did nothing to protect this country from terrorism which led directly to the 9-11 attack. He did nothing when the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, he did nothing when our military barracks was bombed in Saudia Arabia, he did nothing when two US embassies were bombed, and he did nothing when the USS Cole was bombed. He did cut our intelliegence budget and reduced the power of the CIA. He did pass up at least two opportunities to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. He sullied the office of president, dishonored his wife and child, rented out the "Lincoln bedroom" for $10,000 dollars a pop, and when offered an honorable option to heal the country, refused to resign when impeached. He is the only president to be stripped of his law license and found guilty of lying under oath.
Clinton is an ammoral, lying, pastey face mommas boy, who got by on his intellect and personal charisma. He was a disaster for this country and a coward who dodged the draft and has repeately stated how much he loathes the very military that protects his worthless ***!

To the simpeltons who rate him as our best president. Turn off the boob tube and open a history book: Lincoln preserved the Union, freed the slaves, and then offered a concillatory hand to the South to heal the war wounds. Franklin Roosevelt started programs to aid people out of work during the depression, helped rebuild our economy, and won WW II, and the list goes on. I would rank Clinton dead last just above William Henry Harrison, but only because Harrison only served 32 days in office before he died!

Also real leaders unlike politician like Clinton who hold their finger in the wind to see which way it is blowing, don't base their decision on what is popular but what is right. Churchill was virtually alone in warning about the evils of Hitler, Lincoln was elected with 38% of the vote, and Martin Luther King was not only opposed by the majority of whites but many blacks as well.

Finally, of course we weren't at war. It takes two sides to have a war and all Clinton did was let the US incur casualties without a reponse. His inaction placed our country in peril and encouraged the 9-11 attack.

Because Republicans cannot take responsibility for bush's actions. This is bush's presidency, not CLINTON'S. Why is it when bush gets caught in B.S., suddenly it is the fault of a man who hasn't been president in over 6 years???

I so agree with you on that part. LOL He haves been out of office for a while now. I don't care for the man neither but Im not going to waste my time sitting around bashing him. What is done cant be changed. It's not going to do any good to complain about something you cant change from the past.

I don't hate him at all. It's unfortunate that he has been lameducked.
It seems more "palatable" for people to see the negative side of things and turn a blind eye on the good that he's actually done.

Stupid Republicans and their stupid diatribes. U ever notice these republicans keep spewing the same 'ol sh!t over and over again?
