count elites among yourselves.
Judging from these questions and answers, only a handful of you possess a degree of historical literacy.
This makes the learned of you seem even wiser.
That's one of the differences between dems and cons; we {cons} can admit our shortcomings, but you will take your failures to the grave.

I'm a not what you'd call an "educated" man.

See how easy that is dems.
Now why can't you apply this skill when you consider Bill and Hillary?

Settle down dems. I'm not labeling you as "special", just pointing out your lack of Clinton perspective

have I ever said anything you haven't considered spurious speculation?

I didn't compare Bill's reign to George's.

See what I mean about Clinton perspective?
But I readily agree with the working in unison sentiment you write about

I love how dems think slick willy was a great president. What did he do to earn this monicker?

Balance the budget?
Hmm republican congress, slashed military budget, set us up for 9/11

Maybe it was hit fantastic foreign policy?
Hmm Los Alamos comprimised by Chinese spies, nuclear secrets stolen, gee just after his meetings with Chinese lobbyists. Somalia, anyone?

The great economy of the late 90's?
Yeah thats right him and Al Gore invented the internet...I forgot about that.

Give me a break. These are the same people who think Kennedy was a great president too. (Incidentally most historians now view the "Camelot" years as some of the worst in U.S. presidential history). In 20 years historians will look back and classify Slick Willy as a dud.

But despite all this I still get a little chuckle at how they think Hillary can win the next presidential election. Their just too cute, poor little dems don't know that'll never happen.

First I am a dem and a con, Conservatives want less government, not the patriot act... Next, your question must not take into account Bush's cowboy never look back or show humility stylings which I think the public has shown agrees since the cons as you call them lost their a$$e$ in the House and Senate. Saying that either party doesn't admit shortcommings is hippicritial... Imagine that hippocracy in politics. Keep in mind it is politics and no smart politician stays a politician by listing shortcomings.

Try not to be a sore loser. If you'll remember recent history, President Bush was quoted as saying that even if everyone but his wife and dog disapproved of the war, he'd "stay the course", basically admitting that no matter how many people die, and no matter what disasters arise from his policies, it's more important to him that he sticks by his guns rather than admit to his mistakes.
It's funny how many people buy into the politicians' efforts to keep us divided rather than concentrating on what's best for the country.
And I'm curious - what Democratic failures are you talking about? If you're referring to Bill Clinton's presidency, I'm curious as to how you call that a failure, particularly if you're comparing it to Bush's. Economics? Debt? Foreign policy? Education? Defense?
If you wish to be taken seriously, try to stay out of partisan nonsense and back up your assertions with fact instead.
Now the question is, are Republicans willing to stop crying about their losses (as Democrats were told to do in 2004) and work WITH the Democrats to improve the nation? Or will they stubbornly refuse to cooperate and keep the nation in the current mess? Time will tell.

Consider this. A think tank just did a study ,based on some really sound research , about I.Q.s of recent presidents. Bill Clinton scored a 186 and Bush scored 92. I f our leaders are a fairly accurate comparison to We the people Who Either voted for or against them" DUCK AND COVER"

Because both Bill and Hillary, compared to you, are what is commomly referred to as------"educated". Since you readily admit you are not "educated", and, I assume, "literate", you therefore, cannot be in a position to "judge" historical literacy. Your question may only be deemed specious.

Welcome to the new world order.

In their wisdom and sovereignty, the people have spoken. You will find that, while it is not without controversy, our agenda is less self centered and we do not imagine a country that does not take your concerns into consideration for absolution.

Considering Hillary, we also understand why Bill did what he did but, we would really rather not have a president in the White House who calls the Constitution he is swron to uphold, "a g-----ed piece of paper".

Some of the things that you have given us to address include:

Hillary and Bill aren't all that smart, but they are crafty and that counts for a lot in politics.
