You cant beat a smart democrat in a debate. Good for you President Bill Clinton. Wallace almost crapped his pants and he stuttered so much

You mean when he went into a rant when asked why he didn't capture Bin Laden when he had a chance? Clinton acted like a classic narcissist. How dare Wallace ask such a disrespectful question! If Clinton had anything to say, he would have said it. Instead he flew into a rage.

Actually it showed more of why Clinton should never had been president. And showed how patheitc he is as a human being.
Couldnt even get his facts right.
Wallace didnt even stutter btw. He just let Clinton go on, since Clinton obviously was self-destructive as usual.

It was one of the great moments of television journalism, assuming you can call what they do on Fox journalism. Had that been Bush he would have started talking about nuke-you-lar weapons in Iran which would have had nothing to do with the question, then he would have dragged up the spectre of 9/11 and Jesus would have gotten in there somehow.
Clinton is the Greatest and Hillary will be the Greatest as well once she's elected president.

Actually Chris Wallace was blubbering and fumbling. What a joke he is. To think Clinton can be manipulated like the bumbling idiot Bush.
Clinton was concise and forceful and put the reporter, the cons and the neocons in their place.

Wallace was attacking constantly, and Clinton calmly and deftly laid out the answers. As truth began coming out, Wallace tried to stop Clinton from talking. Typical conservatives. Take quotes out of context, when they are shown for what they are, change the subject!
Conservatives can only lie and manipulate context...but when faced by an intelligent liberal who knows the truth, their lies come crashing down on them and they begin to look like bigger idiots than before!
By the way...to the guy that was saying that he has yet to see an intelligent democrat...of the last 12 presidents...6 Repubs and 6 Dems...the average democrat president had an IQ 26 points higher than the average republican. 4 of the Dem presidents had IQ's higher than the highest Repub (Nixon), the other two were higher than the second (Ford).
Two lowest IQ States...Texas and West Virginia respectively. To highest rates of votes for Bush (both elections)...Texas and West Virginia respectively. Two highest IQ States...New Hampshire and Vermont respectively. Two lowest rates of votes for Bush (both elections)...New Hampshire and Vermont respectively.
On the list of average IQ's in the various states (compiled between '85 and '87, published in '88) in order from smartest to dumbest was identical to the list of states voting in order from dems at the top to cons at the bottom. Exactly in the same order.
Tells ya something, huh?
Of course, as you all recall from '00 and '04, republicans "don't want academic types" and "feel better about having someone that isn't smarter than the dumb people". They actually think that it's better to be dumb than to be smart! Maybe that's why they constantly cut funding for Education!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Little Wallace perpetually smirks as though he and he alone knows the truth. For Clinton to put the existence of the smirk on the table was an absolute upper.

Clinton came off looking like a first class a##hole. I guess Wallace is a better interviewer than I thought. What debate? Clinton lied his a## off. Go to youtube and listen to Clinton himself talk about the time that the Sudan offered him Bin Laden and he turned them down!

Yeah. I especially liked when he stated the obvious fact that Fox News was the Conservative's puppet. I think that it kind of put the "impartial journalist" Chris Wallace in a hole. Everyone knows that when interviewing, you can ask the tough questions without being biased against one view or for a view. Do you think that Brinkley interviewed politicians and showed that he was for the other side, and his agenda was to make the guy twist in the wind??
If anything, I think that Fox News looked like schmucks, and Chris Wallace is now the poster child for that.
I LOVE IT!! I HATE FOX NEWS!!!!

Clinton's insecurity showed. He got very angry over one question. Tapped the interviewers notepad, pointed his finger and attacked Wallace. Anyone who thinks that wallace isn't tough with conservatives and republicans needs to go back and read the transcripts from his show.
After Clinton dealt with Ben Laden he was still able to attack us with planes. After Bush dealt with Ben Laden he was only able to send video tapes.
Clinton didn't answer the question. He only attacked Bush and conservatives. Conservatives didn't like that he pulled out of Somalia so easily = OBL said in an interview that our pulling out of Somolia showed him we were a paper dragon that could easily be scared off. He said Bush didn't try to get OBL. I guess the tons of troops that were sent into Afganastan wasn't trying. For those who say we need more troops... thats not what our military leaders are saying we need to capture Ben Laden.
For those attacking Fox for simply asking a question = wow, Bush gets it everyday. Clinton cant handle the criticism.

Hey, you are probably right! It would definitely be hard to beat a smart democrat in a debate. Just look at Joe Lieberman. I'm glad I do not have to debate him, because I agree with him. If you ever are able to find a smart democrat, I'd like to know. I have been looking for 2 decades and have yet to find one. Comprendo?
