Do Liberals feel a sense of pride having Bill Clinton, their party's icon Impeached and Shamed?

Question

Mike- your pic looks like a girls'

Answer 1

Liberals and the media love him and his wife immensely. Honesty and Character means nothing to them.

To other posters. Learn some basic history...

Mike H.
You are a moron. Bush didn't wreck the economy. He inherited a recession from Clinton and despite 9/11 and Katrina millions of jobs were created and there is hardly any inflation.

Yes, the Senate acquited him but the house did in fact IMPEACH him.



Is approval rating all that matters ?

Answer 2

As another poster noted, Clinton wasn't that liberal - in fact, he really pissed off Republicans by adopting their agenda! And his foreign policy was pretty the much the same as under former administrations, both Democrat and Republican.

Maybe it's just me, but I think an extramarital affair is a thing between a man and his wife, not a president and his country.

And while conservatives like yourself continue to beat this dead horse, you conveniently look the other way when Bush ignores intelligence reports saying bin Laden "determined to attack within the U.S.," and takes the country to war on false pretenses.

Glad to see you've got your priorities in order.

Do conservatives feel a sense of pride knowing that Bush took a trillion dollar surplus and squandered it into a multi-billion dollar deficit? Or that he squandered the goodwill and sympathy of the rest of the world after 9/11?

And let me be clear - the Democrats, especially Hillary Clinton and Joseph Lieberman, are just as much to blame for the Iraq war as the Republicans and neocons. The Democrats marched in lockstep with the Bush administration and gave them everything they wanted with respect to the war(s).

Answer 3

Shamed? Bill Clinton's lowest approval rating during his term was 39%.

After his impeachment he left office with a 59% approval rating.

Answer 4

Well, since they believe he was impeached for taking advantage of a White House intern in the Oval Office and not for lying to a special prosecutor when under oath about the incident(s), they believe the impeachment was simply a Republican attack on their god. So, rather than a sense of pride, they just tend to dismiss it and blame Bush as they do for just about everything else. To say otherwise is blasphemous.

Answer 5

I feel ashamed that you're still talking about something that happened over 6 years ago, while our people are being blown to bits in Iraq ! Over 3,000 of our men and women are DEAD. And you babble on about an impeachment over a BJ ? Half our people in Iraq killed have been under the age of 25. If you're so gung ho, why are you not in Iraq?

Answer 6

Is it just me or is murdering and toturing innocent iraqis a little worse then cheating on your wife? I wouldnt say Bill was the liberals icon. Maybe people like Ben Franklin would be more sufficient for that job.

Answer 7

First off...He wasn't impeached, you moron. And secondly, it was more like he was rocketed to fame than shamed. He never suffered an approval rating as low as your beloved ***-mander in Thief, never so drunk at the podium that he made himself, (and the whole U.S.), look like an ***, and never so arrogant as to use his political office to avenge a family feud. Guess you just enjoy the hell out of being bushwhacked again buy the continental regime. BOHICA!!!

Answer 8

Ah, guys. The economy is better under Bush than Clinton. It was under a recession when Bill left office. Bush got it rolling again. So give that up. Unemployment is down, something Bill couldn't do. Clinton economics didn't work, he was just a smooth talker. Especially to the hefty interns.

Answer 9

Senate aquitted him. Nice try.

So I'd watch that road...Dem's ain't happy with Bush, control both Houses, and with his torture, lieing for war, and bid rigging is in a much more vulnerable position than Clinton ever was.

EDIT:
jHardacre basic history eh? A Republican controlled House impeaches a Democrat president...wow...I'm shocked. About as shocked as I would have been had it been reversed.

If the Republicans spent half as much energy hunting Osama than they did chasing Bill...I think we would have found him by now.

Answer 10

No, we are ashamed that the Republicans spent so much money and time impeaching him for have an extra-martial affair. They could have spent their time planning for future attacks by terriorists and beefing up security. But no-o-o-o....
