Clinton Urges Democrats To Fight The Stupidest Aspects Of Partisanship?

Question

Former President Clinton bemoaned ideologues who describe opponents as "running for office on his or her way to hell" and urged Democrats not to shy from fighting back.

Clinton, criticizing Republicans weeks before the midterm elections, told an audience at Georgetown University on Wednesday that intellectual debate should trump partisan rancor and either-or choices are false.

"Most of us long for politics where we have genuine arguments, vigorous disagreements but we don't claim to have the whole truth and we don't demonize our opponents and we work for what's best for the American people," he said.

"It's not about who represents the religious truth and who is basically running for office on his or her way to hell," Clinton said.

Answer 1

For once I find myself agreeing with our former president. Politics should be about solving problems, not creating new ones.

Answer 2

Clinton must be senile. He was the master of partisan politics. How does this man sleep at night?

Never mind, I don't want to know.

Answer 3

Sure wish Clinton would have been this politically active when he was in office.



U.P.

Answer 4

We would have been better off if we could have given Clinton eight more years, or if Al Gore had been given the eight years he was entitled to and George bush put in jail where he belongs.

Answer 5

Oh the days of the intelligent President and a balanced budget with no war. He deserved a hummer.
We should do that again sometime.

Answer 6

What??!! Is he saying that b.j. thing was less important than killing thousands in Iraq?!

This is the problem with the Dems. Never can get their priorities straight!
