Isn't it bad enough YOUR president has destoryed this country, now you want to bash the only good president the US has had?

1)That's because a majority of questions on this board, like yours, immediately start out with the typical "Hate Bush/Blame Bush" premise.
2) Then the questions are based on hypocrisy for If Clinton did something its okay, but if anyone in the right does the same or in the same manner it is now wrong. Its sort of living in a glass house and throwing stones.
3)The only good president the US ever had is Lincoln (remember him from history class)

I wouldn't say he was the only good president. As much as you can say Bill Clinton isn't a good person, he did do a good job, despite a republican congress more concerned about an affair than running th country. It is probably the same reason they think that Reagan was the greatest president ever. He was good, but he did rack up the highest deficits, and to give him all the credit for the collapse of the Soviet Union is just idiotic.
Basically, it is time to stop living in the past. We have a chance for a new start in 2008 for both parties, they should learn to stop bickering and work for the good of the country and not their own personal gains.

Clinton replaced Reagan as the *great communicator*. (Bush I was a non-event, and Bush II is a stubborn, mumble-mouthed, charicature of a frat boy cowboy.) A HUGE cross-section of Americans voted for The Man (Clinton) and admired the man. He was the first president to be of the baby boomer generation, so he represented the progressive values of that generation. The neocons are a variety throwbacks. Their own religions are more important to them than the general good. Many of them are closet racists. And, they are almost all homophobes. Clinton also presided over the greatest non-wartime economic boom of the last 100 years. It's mostly a form of semi-repressed jealousy. The conservatives/republicans hunted Clinton down during his entire presidency, trying to find something to take him down with. They failed at every turn . . . until they lucked out, and found a disgruntled, jealous, slob of a woman, who betrayed the confidence of someone who was supposed to be her friend. The revisionists try to tell you that their biggest objection to Clinton is that he lied under oath. When the truth of the matter is they had it in for him from day one.

I don't know.
They think this is football.
I think they have lost the capacity to take in and process information.
Maybe they have been supporting Bush for so long, they feel stupid admitting they were wrong.
And they pretend to be patriotic.
It is starting to get very scary around here.
Read some of the posts supporting Bush's censoring science. Is this what happened with the Nazi-era Germans?
One lady posted "I don't blame Halliburton for leaving! The liberals don't understand that when we regulate them too much they'll just leave!"
I am getting sick to my stomach.

I have never met a neocon.
I have also never met a reasonable person who can quantitatively justify that Clinton was a good president. Almost every single accomplishment Clinton lovers point to is in fact a GOP congressional accomplishment.

Clinton good? How about Whitewater? How about the Monica scandal? How about the NAFTA agreement? And Hillary is just as bad, just not as good a politician and can waffle faster than IHOP. How about his firing of 92 US attorneys to keep his impeachment on Whitewater from happening?

Merely pointing out the double standard Bush faces compared to Clinton, the last democrat in office.

They are still traumatized at how average people in the Clinton era actually made some headway in life. Their low self esteem drives them to have a ruling elite to dictate their lives for them.

I think it is because so many of the Dems positions on current issues can easily show them up as shallow hypocrites when compared to their stances on the same issues just one administration ago.
Their lack of moral fiber and intellectual honesty is so blatant, it is impossible to overlook.

Because Bill is so bashable. Most everything he did or does is or was foolish. He was close to being our very worst president.
