Republicans: Can you answer this question about former president Bill Clinton?

Question

Besides his infidelity, why else did you dislike him?
Note: Please refrain from saying "he knew about terrorist and did nothing about it" because that is NOT true.

Most of these answers are pretty good. Thanks for being mature.

Answer 1

The fact that he supported gun control during his administration and continues to support it today. Gun rights are the back bone of our freedom, to have it restricted in any way infringes on our liberty. I really don't care if he got a BJ in the oval office but I didn't care what took him down as long as something took him down. Remember, it was tax evasion that took down Al Capone.

Also, just look at the way he and Janet Reno handled the Waco, Texas situation. Maybe those people were nuts, but in America you're supposed to be free to believe or say any crazy thing you want as long as you're not hurting anyone else. I didn't see anyone else getting hurt, so the government effectively murdered those people.

You can say that "the economy was better under Clinton" but don't forget that we had a SANE Republican Congress at the time, too. Those guys that lost in 2006 weren't corrupted by the political system in 1994 when they took over and were therefore much more effective and better for the country.

As a side note, Bill didn't seem too terrible, he reminds me of a friend of mine who is more liberal but I can still sit down and have a reasonable conversation with. I believe that the driving force for all of the wrongs of Bill Clinton and of his administration was Hillary. If you've ever seen the first season of "24" you'll probably understand what I'm about to say: Hillary reminds me of the character, Sherry Palmer, from the first season of "24" - if you've never seen it, go to Blockbuster or some other video store and rent and see if my comparison is accurate.

Answer 2

His positions changed constantly based on poll numbers. He had an ineffective energy strategy which contributed to rolling blackouts in the West coast. Many members of his administration were convicted of felonies. It seemed that he and his close associates felt that they were above the law. US interests were bombed on many occasions without a strong response. He raised taxes thereby stifling the growth we might have experienced. He was ineffective in dealing with North Korea. His choice of wife - no class there! He and his wife mastered the politics of personal destruction. He and his wife stole furniture from the White House (how tacky can you get). I could go on but do you really want me too?

By the way, he did know about terrorism. Many embassies as well as the USS Cole were bombed by terrorists during his administration. Osama was thought to be behind the 1st bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. A country (believe it was Sudan) offered Osama to Bill but Bill was thinking like a lawyer not like the President of the United States. He turned the country down because he did know if there was a strong legal case and as a result 3,000+ people lost their lives on September 11.

Answer 3

Heir Clinton's regime stomped on more American liberties than I can count.
From having Hildebeast go through FBI files on political opponents to insider trading while in office.
How about the way they left office and ransacked and pilfered and looted the capital building and white house.
Perhaps you could look to Miami and see over a dozen FBI and ATF agents to take one little boy from his family at gun point or the admittedly illegal orders given at Ruby Ridge. Janet Reno stood in front of the nation and took responsibility for this yet no charges were filed.
That brings us to WACO where they incinerated dozens of people.
Yes in the last 2 instances there was cause for arrest there are also rules and laws to be followed by the Govt.
People are crying about Bush taking their rights wait until you get another Cliton in office.

Answer 4

I personally didn't have a strong dislike for former President Clinton. I just didn't trust him. He appeared and spoke like a con man, still does.

I didn't like the fact that he did nothing in regard to protecting the security of our nation but seriously, that is expected of Democrats.

What I dislike though is that he allowed or perhaps turned his back on Hillary while she raided the White House of valuable possessions on their way out of office. I guess this was the least that he could do though after "Not having sexual relations with that woman".

Answer 5

Because the way he treated the Military...cut our funding, down sized us, and never gave us good pay raises...it's kinda hard to like a man who while you are working 70+ hours a week for your country and you have to decided between paying your car payment or buying your kids Christmas presents...so I have a reason to hate the man and his wife...also he never visited the Troop...maybe once or twice, but he sure as hell sent us into Civil Wars (Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti, etc...) At least Bush brought the Military pay out of the poverty level...it sucks when someone sitting on there butt at home drawing a welfare check, makes more money than you do and drives a better car...

Answer 6

I tend to vote to the right, however I voted for President Clinton in his second term. Many have forgotten how many "conservative" issues he resolved with In-Politics diplomacy. Also, he selected a Republican to run the Pentagon with the thought process that the military would be best served that way. I believe he did many things to move to the middle and encourage more Americans to do the same.

Answer 7

You, by your conditions, do not seek a truthful answer. You rule out a very important, truthful aspect of his presidency--he could care less about fighting Islamofacists, leading to the rise in horror of their attacks on Americans. His most frequent overnight guest in the White House Lincoln bedroom was Yassar Arafat.

Answer 8

Put Hillary in charge of Hillary care and it was a bad proposal (same as it is now). He was also bad for the military. He had a chance to get Osama and dumped it on the Saudis.

It wasn't just his infidelity. That was wrong but one of my issues was the fact that he LIED! That shows a lack of character. Not only did he look into the camera and lie to America, he also lied under oath to save his @ss in a sexual harassment case.

Trying to find different links as you have read many of mine before. He is a political, lifelong, perpetual LIAR.
First felon to be pardoned to be President.
First President to be dis-barred while in office.
Shall I say Criminal as well?

But, there is no point to going on as you have made it clear yourself time and again. Some TGIF frolicking eh? Thanks.

* I nearly forgot. He tried to shut down Pearl Harbor during his administration & days of military cuts. Imagine that. I was there. That's a fact Jack.

Answer 10

I think his policies were too liberal. I think there were too many scandals (Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, Sandy Burgler...) and I just don't agree with a lot of the things he did.

I don't hate him. I just am more conservative and he is more liberal. To each their own. I never spoke badly about him regardless of anything, and always gave him the respect due to his office.
