Clinton did it....again and again and again!!!!!?

Question

Why must the republicans in power always point to Clinton when they are accused of nefarious dealings? Just because Clinton may or may not have done something doesn't make it okay for the republicans to do it. Besides, lets be proportional about it. Clinton lied about sex and had a full scale investigation. Bush is accused of lying about a war...and nothing.

Answer 1

The core of the so-called "moral values" of the neoconservatives--not the mainstream Repbublicans--is not to promote morality and ethics (they don't) but to discredit and blame those who refuse to follow their demands. And--which is entirely consistant with such a faux-ethical agenda--to avoid accepting responsibility for their own actions.

A classic example was Mark Foley. He made a public show of supporting morality and family values--though in fact engaging in highly immoral acts. Yet, when this came to light--and he had even admitted his guilt--the neo-cons, instead of condemning him--which would be the logical course if they were sincere, instead devoted most of their efforts to: a) attempting to cast public criticism as "gay-bashing (which it clearly was not) and b) blaming the victim(s) andthe media for revealing Foley's actions.

The "but Clinton did it" mantra is simply the same thing--both are examples of the shallowness and hypocrisy of the so-called "moral values" of the neo-conservatives.

Answer 2

Clinton i my opinion was a half way decent president. since bush has come to power the whole system has taken a blow. And quite a different type of blow than president Clinton received. Bush is a scapegoat. and anyone who is caught doing wrong doings is quick to point out others mistakes and wrong doings. America won't know exactly how much damage and cover-up has occurred during the bush/ Republican term until he leaves office. from Iraq to 9-11. we have been lied to. I could care less if Clinton plays with cigars but I do care about somebody playing with my life. fingers will point at bush but it will be after his term. when the truth is revealed.

Answer 3

"Clinton did it....again and again and again!!!!!?"

And y'all call us HATERS! ;-)

"Actually, Bush isn't accused of lying except by the moonbats. Bush used the same CIA intelligence to say Iraq had WMDs that congress and the Dems used to vote for the use of force. Kennedy, Clinton (both Bill & Hillary), Kerry, and others all claimed that Saddam had WMDs. Their claims are recorded..........."

So if ten people including YOU think about robbing a bank at one point or another, and years later I decide to rob that bank, have I implicated you? Is my guilt your guilt? Of course not and that is the leap in logic that you guys have perpetuated for too long now. For one reason or another Kennedy, Clinton, et al, decided NOT to act on this "intelligence" and hold no responsibility for the quagmire that Bush II has CREATED of his own accord.

Answer 4

Kenneth Starr's grand jury was a witch hunt, instead of asking about the Paula Jones case they went after another matter which UNTIL THEN was considered UNETHICAL and traditionally never prosecuted. The republicans rewrote law when they went after Clinton. It really is asinine to say Clinton lied about a BJ so that equals to lying about wmds, a war and 3,000 dead American soldiers.

Answer 5

I agree ten thousand % with each and every little thing you stated. it may well be advantageous to stay the place the president hasnt been bush, clinton, bush, clinton, yet i think of that Hillary can restoration some stuff interior the country. My vote is for bill Richardson however. he's my governor, and he has replaced the direction of our state, and think of he ought to repair the subject in usa, yet he's no longer as commonplace has Hillary, and Obama. If Hillary is president i might believe in her. human beings prefer to work out a black president, and that they like to work out a woman president, yet I say, we could get bush out of there ASAP. He has executed NO sturdy for usa. i will say those issues, b/c I didnt vote for him the two time he became into elected.

Answer 6

Actually, Bush isn't accused of lying except by the moonbats. Bush used the same CIA intelligence to say Iraq had WMDs that congress and the Dems used to vote for the use of force. Kennedy, Clinton (both Bill & Hillary), Kerry, and others all claimed that Saddam had WMDs. Their claims are recorded, so no one can deny them. Since Bush never lied about WMD's, like the (lying) moonbats say, he can't be held accountable.

Answer 7

You're right, it doesn't make it OK for anyone to do it just because the Clinton did the same thing. However, if Dems are going to accuse the Bush administration of wrongdoing in any number of places, then don't excuse Clinton for having done the same thing. Either it's always wrong or it isn't. It isn't OK for Clinton to have done it and not OK for Bush. That's the problem with Dems. So long as they're doing it, it's OK.

Answer 8

Bush is the scapegoat for the people really behind Iraq. Start investigating Halliburton.

Bush is the patsy just like Lee Harvey Oswald....

Someone has to be thrown to the people, while the conspirators are safe...

Answer 9

Just like how Liberals decide to take the easy road by saying "Bush did it". You see, this can go both ways you know.

Answer 10

but Bush did not lie about a war
