Where was all of this "we must support the president" from the neo-cons during the Clinton years?

Question

They perfected bashing the sitting president and even founded a radio talk show on the matter.

Answer 1

Don't forget that they accused Clinton of being obsessed with getting Bin Ladin and turned around and now claim that he didn't do anything about terrorism.

Edit - Exactly what I was talking about Westhill

Answer 2

There are three reasons. First, many conservatives feel betrayed by McCain thus want to support anyone but him. Second reason is that they feel the country will go downhill with McCain or Clinton in the White House, so they would rather have a Democrat in office so as to make it easier to point fingers. Third, and most likely, is that many believe that Hillary is the easiest candidate to beat in November. She will unite Republicans behind McCain, better than McCain can do himself, so deep is their distrust of her. So McCain would get independents and Conservatives, while Hillary is left with only Liberal vote. Actually there might be yet another reason. Some might just want media attention. If a prominent conservative says "I'll vote for Hillary over McCain." The media will eat that up.

Answer 3

They committed the most flagrant president bashing imaginable, over a BJ, and made this country look ridiculous to the rest of the world. The rest of the world was laughing at the Neocons, for impeaching a president over a BJ, they were not laughing at the president for lying about the BJ. Yet the Neocons stand in defense of a president that the whole world regards as a dangerous criminal. The rest of the world is not laughing anymore! *sm*

Answer 4

Next to George Bush in general, what the Republican Congress tried to do to Clinton was the biggest joke in presidential history. What a waste of time and money that was.

Answer 5

I remember them saying Bill Clinton is NOT my President

Answer 6

No no no, we only have to support the president when he's a Republican! Patriotism doesn't apply when there's a Democrat in the White House.

Either that, or conservatives tend to be two-faced hypocritical idiots. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Answer 7

I can't wait to see what happens when the next president is elected.

Answer 8

Wasn't there. Just as important, the Republicans actually opposed Clinton's attempt to strike at Bin Laden, calling it a "wag the dog" diversion from their 40 million dollar scandal mongering investigation of Whitewater and Monica.

Answer 9

I don't know? Maybe YA! wasn't around yet. Unless you can provide a link dating to the Clinton years of forums like this...

Answer 10

Brian, the level of disrespect this President has shown us is inexcusable!

We have been lied to at every turn. He scorns the public opinion. He does what he and his buddies want not caring at all what the people ask for. The "Silent Majority" is a great excuse for cavalier political practices.
