How INTELLIGENT is it to WHINE over such an utter TRIVIALITY?

Question

A recent question asked about Bill Clinton's status after Hillary is elected (should that be the case), and was met with a flood of crude, hateful, and bone-ignorant responses that alluded to his tryst with Monica.

Consider the fact that Bill was one of our greatest presidents, in that his decade of the '90s was the most peaceful and prosperous in American history. And consider the fact that the incident with Monica was one of two consenting adults, during their free time, in private, in Bill's legitimately-attained domicile... and thus was NO one else's business...

...I am nothing short of AMAZED at the level of ignorance it would take to WHINE about that. And that so **many** people who participate in here would lower themselves to such levels of mindless hatefulness. Thus -- my question, above.

To "valet4u2" -- I have never claimed to be "hyper-intelligent." But I make no bones about being **sensible**.

My responses correponding to your three points:

(1) In those photos, Monica was very *obviously* enamoured with Bill.

(2) You've never heard of coffee break times during a workday? Lunch hours?

(3) However anyone "caught" them, it was none of HIS business, and he was a hateful idiot for ratting them out. And Bill's lie was a very justifiable action of SELF-DEFENSE **because** it was NO one else's business.

The rest of your response carried the speciousness that one could expect of a person having no life and desperately clutching at straws. So -- do you have anything SUBSTANTIVE to tell us?

To "JH50 " -- Bill was **moronically** impeached (and impeachment is nothing but an indictment) over a meaningless triviality -- and ACQUITTED. So it's a NON-issue. And that's why I asked the question above.

To "valet4u2" -- I do recall mentioning IQ in a couple of questions that dealt with it. But I have never tried to brag about it. IQ is a variation within a bell curve -- just as people are born with their handedness and eye color. We have no control over such things. (But I suppose I should be flattered that you follow my postings so closely... :) )

1. Monica would have had NO case for sexual harrassment. That **video** (not just a photo) showed her SO obviously enamoured with Bill, she probably would have started to strip him on the spot, if she thought she could have gotten away with it!

2. If there WERE such a thing as a "Liberal Handbook," you could probably improve your outlook *vastly* by studying it. As for Bill's "getting caught," the perp should have been charged with evesdropping... the press should have been sensible enough to ignore it... and since it DID get out, ALL of the people should have had better things to do then let such a trivality bother them.

And EVERYONE gets breaks during their workdays, even presidents.

Answer 1

He was one of the best Presidents in the History of our Country. He was given a country that had a huge deficit and bad economy from Daddy Bush created by his lowering of taxes on the rich. Clinton took it and not only lowered the deficit, he erased it and created a surplus! The Carlyle group and the Lics (Republicans) attacked Clinton from day one. They tried to find something he did wrong. When they found nothing politically, financially, or legally that he had done wrong they tried to find something on Hillary. When that did not work, they went after the one thing they could get him on. Something that:

1. Is NONE of our Business!

2. Has NOTHING to do with his job performance!

3. Is not illegal.

Bill's sex life. The Lics who are supposedly so religious delighted in asking every intimate detail of a sexual relationship that shows how depraved they were. Once the affair was exposed the rest of the sordid details was for their own sick pleasure.

Granted Bill should not have tried to hide the affair and lie about it, but if other politicians that were caught in affairs and there are a ton of them from both parties, most if not all of them would lie. But after the exposure of the affair, that would essentially be it. Do you think that Bush and Cheney could stand up to the same level of scrutiny? I think not!

Bush went out of his way to hide everything about him. He by-passed Texas law and sent his records from the Governor's mansion to his Daddy';s library. This was in direct opposition of Texas Law. By the time it was challenged and the record were required to be available, they had been out of the protection of the state and quite likely purged for negative aspects of the Bush term in office. He denied any and all attempts to get any information about his personal life by stating "That was when he was a young man" so anything before he was 40 did not apply! Bet a lot of politicians wish they could erase their actions before the age of 40! (What is more, it took him till the age of 40 before he grew up?). He also had all his Daddy's connections to bailout of financial fiasco's through poor business practices, they also helped cover it up when Bush ran for office. Many were repaid with no-bid contracts.

Clinton took the huge mess he received an left us in the best shape we have been in, for a long time (Before Reagan). They tried to destroy him and failed. We need another Clinton to fix the mess another Bush left us with.

Hopefully we will remember this if JEB Bush ever runs for President. Otherwise we will have to have Chelsey come in and clean up the mess of the next Bush!

Answer 2

When it happened under his desk in the oval office, I don't call that in their spare time. I call that my time or our time. When he is in the White House, he is supposed to be working for our country. Yes I know his residence is there too, but he wasn't in his residence. I don't feel like I was any more prosperous when he was president. Let's face it. He has the morals of an alley cat!

Answer 3

Wow for a person who claims to be hyper intelligent(going off other posts of yours) you sure like to use false information.
1. There is no consent when one party wields the power and authority Bill Clinton had over Monica.

2. These acts were not only during "private" time as you say but went on during the course of a president's work day.

3. No one else's business. It all became our business when he was stupid enough to get caught and then compounded that error by lying about it.

And by posting your response and this question I can only say that it is not very intelligent to whine over triviality as evidenced by your rantings. Hope your day gets better and your caps lock stops sticking.

Answer 4

What a warped point of view; GREATEST PRESIDENTS? I THINK NOT. This guy took every bribe that was offered, every time you turned around there was another Chinaman with a fist full of bribe dollars behind him, he gave the chinese top secret guided missile technology and sold them 72 Cray Supercomputers so that they could build better nuclear weapons, he pardoned wanted felons in return for contributions, he looted the White House and Air Force One on the way out the door, he and his people vandalized the West Wing, he reduced our Army from 18 division to 8, he ignored terrorist threats, he didn't respond toterrorist acts, he refused an offer of Bin Laden's head on a platter, and all you people can come up with is the fact that he should be excused for cheating on his wife and then lying about it, under oath, to Congress. Talk about a level of ignorance, you've illustrated it pretty well.

Answer 5

Well I am sure if it was the CEO of Exxon getting a BJ from an Intern , it would not have been considered trivial by women & leftist groups!!

Peaceful??? I guess bombing Yugoslavia & Iraq doesn't count.

I quote " Clinton was the best Republican President the US has ever had"

Answer 6

Depends on what you consider Trivial!
The leader of the free world should have integrity!!!
President Clinton was impeached!!!
Are you just asking this question to get an argument?
You will!

Answer 7

Sir, I beg to differ on some key points. Bill Clinton had his affair with Miss Lewinsky in the Oval Office. That is not part of the presidents domicile. The residence is in a different part of the White House. (strike one)

No one cares that he had an affair and he was not impeached for having an affair, which is his own business, but for lying under oath and suborning perjury. (strike two)

He was far from one of our greatest presidents in fact one would be hard pressed to come up with any accomplishment or inspirational quote from his entire administration. (strike three)

Bill Clinton was not even good for the Democratic Party. He looted their treasury and used pretty much all the funding on his own campaigns leaving Congressional Candidates twisting in the wind. After controlling both houses of Congress for about 40 years this was lost to Republicans after Clinton was in office only two years. They did not regain control during his entire administration.

The prosperity was primarily due to the conservative Republican leadership in Congress, not to any initiative on Clinton's part.

There was peace however, not if you lived in Waco Texas, or Ruby Ridge, Idaho and we suffered the first WTC bombing & the attack on the USS Cole.

Most of the perceived "peace" was directly attributable to nothing more than inaction on Clinton's part:

1. Did not follow-up on the attempted bombing of Aden marines in Yemen.

2. Shut the CIA out of the 1993 WTC bombing investigation, hamstringing their effort to capture bin Laden.

3. Had Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, a key bin Laden lieutenant, slip through their fingers in Qatar.

4. Did not militarily react to the al Qaeda bombing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

5. Did not accept the Sudanese offer to turn bin Laden.

6. Did not follow-up on another offer from Sudan through a private back channel.

7. Objected to Northern Alliance efforts to assassinate bin Laden in Afghanistan.

8. Decided against using special forces to take down bin Laden in Afghanistan.

9. Did not take an opportunity to take into custody two al Qaeda operatives involved in the East African embassy bombings. Sudan arrested these two terrorists and offered them to the FBI. The Clinton administration declined to pick them up and they were later allowed to return to Pakistan.

10. Ordered an ineffectual, token missile strike against a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory.

11. Clumsily tipped off Pakistani officials sympathetic to bin Laden before a planned missile strike against bin Laden on August 20, 1998. Bin Laden left the camp with only minutes to spare.

12-14. Three times, Clinton hesitated or deferred in ordering missile strikes against bin Laden in 1999 and 2000.

15. When they finally launched and armed the Predator spy drone plane, which captured amazing live video images of bin Laden, the Clinton administration no longer had military assets in place to strike the archterrorist.

16. Did not order a retaliatory strike on bin Laden for the murderous attack on the USS Cole.

Thus setting the stage for 9/11.

Answer 8

Our greatest presidents were not impeached or barred from practicing law.
