Have we had enough of the Bush's and the Clinton's yet?

Question

RON PAUL 2008
RON PAUL 2008

Answer 1

I just donated $25 to Ron Paul's campaign. My first donation to a politician ever! I joined a local meetup group too, seems like his campaign is finally getting some press! I saw him on Fox News a couple of hours after the republican debate this morning.

Why I'm voting for Ron Paul, and trying to get everyone I know to vote for him too:
1. I'm sick of getting audited by the IRS for no other reason then they want to shake me down for another couple thousand!
2. The Federal government, in terms of spending, regulations, or any other metric is out of control. No other candidate, dem or repub is going to do anything about it except make the problem worse.

If you want to help reduce the insanity that has been the norm in DC for decades, help spread the word about Ron Paul!

Answer 2

Koala why do you go out of your way to demonstrate that you are incapable of original thought? Cutting and pasting the same irrelevant set of lies, half truths and misrepresentations just demonstrates that you have absolutely nothing of any value to contribute.
Shall we actually look at your deceitful list?
1. Why do you omit that he was ACQUITTED?
2. Who comes second? How many did they have? Who defined his friends and associates? This is just a nonsense statement because you provide absolutely no evidence for it. So I am going to say "No you are wrong - Reagan had more" - prove me wrong.
3. When partisan congress and prosecutors are trying to destroy your administration there will of course be people under investigation. Why don't you say how many were actually found guilty of anything.
4. Please provide a list or source of something. Again - this is just made up.
5. Name one! The Clinton death list is the most pathetic piece of political smearing that has every made the rounds. If you place any faith in it it just demonstrates your ignorance.
6. Unsuccessfully
7. By partisan interests - again with no evidence and no conviction
8. Is she? Prove it. And so what - again cleared of all wrongdoing despite the partisan attacks on her from a congress that should have been more interested in helping to run the country.
The rest is more of the same BS.
As for Hillary (how juvenile is calling her Billary - is this really the way you want to present yourself - as a spoilt child with no argument so you resort to the tactics of a schoolyard bully) - she is not actually my first choice - but she is way ahead and if Rudy is the best you can come up with then she is what we are going to get.

Answer 3

We most certainly have had enough of the Bush family! As for the Clinton's, well, I liked him during his first term but when he lied under oath, that was enough for me. I don't feel that Hillary is really Presidential material. Being the wife of a President is not a qualifier for the office. Also watching the last debate, when she was asked a question she didn't like, she got a bit miffed when another person on the forum took issue with her. Not a good attitude, can't stand criticism? Don't we have that already?

Answer 4

Seems more like a political statement than a bona fide question.. ;-P

But I will answer this.. First off, remember, while no one single person voted them into office, we as a nation and a whole, did. I believe that we, as a nation, need to take more interest in researching the candidates, the issues, etc, rather than just voting in ignorance, only a few hot issues we're interested in, candidates that support only a few of our standpoints, by affiliated party, etc.

Also, we need to remember that the publics popular vote doesn't directly elect them to office, the electoral colleges do. Instead, the electoral college has electors--basically our senators and representatives--who cast their votes to actually elect the U.S. President. Some states have laws which require these electors to vote according to popular vote, some require them to vote for their affiliated party, while others allow them to vote any way they please, etc.

This doesn't necessarily negate or contradict my first statement that we elect the President.. We still elect the electors, who pass the laws and make their electoral votes. It is sort of a chain reaction system.

Secondly, we need to remember that the President is more of a public figurehead.. Just like a general in an army directs the troops from a command center, each troop and each individual is still responsible for their own part, and it is they who win or lose the war. The parallel isn't exact, though.

The U.S. government has three main divisions.. The Executive branch, the Judiciary/Judicial branch, and the Legislative branch. The system is set up so no one branch has absolute authority and power over the government, it's policies, or it's actions. There is a system of checks and balances, rules on which branch governs what, how and who has veto power, how and who can overcome that veto power, who actually votes to pass laws, judgments and executive decisions, etc.

For example, let's say the Legislative branch votes a new law into effect that doubles all our Federal taxes. But the President veto's the bill, knowing the American public will be very upset. But the Legislative branch still proceeds to overcome his veto, and passes the new law into effect, regardless. Would it be fair to blame the President, when he tried to prevent it?

If you really feel so pensive about the Bush's and Clinton's, I recommend you learn more about politics and how the U.S. system of government is set up. Then learn how to work it towards the outcome you most want, and help educate others in the same, rather then continuing to blindly blame/claim this or that in total ignorance.

In short, we only have ourselves to blame if we're not happy.. Because we DID enable it to become so, and we DO have the power to change it.

Answer 5

i can fondly remember the days that the dumbest thing our president was have sex with someone...

the fact that you put bush and clinton in the same sentence is just crazy!!

so our president can be impeached for sex but not murder... very interesting... over 3500 dead and counting...

Answer 6

i dont think liberals care about the clinton legacy though i do...

- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court
and as for bush, his presidency is over in 08 and one can only hope the electorate wakes up before its too late with billary.
