Conservatives...When Bill Clinton was president, did you hate him??

Question

I see many libs in YA who express how they feel about President Bush as HATE!....I don't understand where this hate is coming from. When Bill Clinton was president I disagreed with almost everything he did..but I NEVER expressed it as hate. Can anyone explain to me why the libs use the word hate so much and conservatives just disagree??

madlibs...I'm not saying that I wouldn't be able to find a conservative that HATED him....but its a general expression to you libs...

Monicane...you're confused...you're thinking of Sadam...he's the one who killed 10s of thousands of Iraqs...he fed them feet first into cardboard shredders...gased them...filled up mass graves....our troops go to pain staking lengths to make sure civilians are never targeted..which makes their job harder, but they do it anyway...get your head out of the hate blogs.....again...its hate from your side...thanks for proving my point.

Bushpicks...it was lying to a grand jury that we made such a fuss about....not the BJ....you're side is fixated with that part.

Answer 1

Answer: I “hated” missile guidance technology fraudulently traded to the enemy state China for campaign bribes! I “hated” all the “It’s for the children” when applied to Waco murders and Elian Gonzalez I “hated” what I saw as distain for American citizens, civilian and especially military! The first elected American president ever Impeached!!! For perjury and suborning perjury…libs excuse demonstrates that they have sex on the brain, or as an excuse for any criminal behavior that they engage.
I envy Bill Clinton for, as Andrew Young put it…All the Black Women that Bill has been with!
My only question is…Why? Oh Why? Did he go back?

Answer 2

I actually admired the fact that Clinton was able to work with both sides of the aisle. There were a TON of things about his administration that I didn't like or agree with - but I never "HATED" the man. He was (after all), "A MAN" and I'm sure the Guy in Office now has done a TON WORSE than what Clinton has done. But to answer your question: LIBS don't care about anything that differs from their point of view. It's okay for them to spew hatred and negative comments; however, a conservative doing this would fuel their fire to say "Republican Conservatives are RACISTs and BIGGOTs!!" They are the worst.

Answer 3

Running a campaign is alsmost like running a big business. You have to get the word out(advertise), you have to deploy the candidate, and you have to have people supporting that candidate who will in turn also speak on their behalf. Hillary Clinton happens to be ex-president's Bill Clinton's wife. He is her best asset in this race--much better than any of the supports Obama has. So Obama supporters try to point out all sorts of negative things about Hillary and Bill in order to get more supporters on their side. I am not pro Clinton or pro Obama. I try to stay neutral and observe this because I do not want to be influenced by unfounded statements...

Answer 4

Though you addressed this question to Conservatives, I will answer it since you did reference liberals. I disagree with almost everything Bush and Cheney have done..but I NEVER express it as hate. I know most liberals are like me and are a little embarrassed by those who do express it as hate. I have seen conservatives express hatred toward Clinton(s), Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Murtha, and liberals in general. Even after Clinton apologized for a family matter that was nobody else's business, conservatives fail to forgive. I have also seen accusations of murder, treason, hating America, and consorting with the enemy. These wild accusations do nothing to further discourse between opposing American viewpoints.

Answer 5

I have to admit, Bill and Hillary turned my stomach and made my skin crawl even before they hit the WH.

Though I wouldn't call it 'hate,' I can definitely say, I had an immediate aversion to them both.

With all the info coming out about his extramarital affairs, allegations of rape and the Playboy interview with Gennifer Flowers, it was obvious Bill was slime and his wife slime for sticking by him. Mostly because neither he nor his wife ever accepted even an iota of blame for any of these reports, when obviously not all those women could be lying.

His troubles in the WH were like the writing on the wall before he was even elected. I still don't understand how he even made it that far.

I can understand mistakes, I can never accept blatant lies about them.

Answer 6

There was some who publicly disagreed with Wm. J. Clinton, especially about his wife's liberals efforts, but mostly the objections were civil, especially if compared to today's liberals "Hate" for President Bush.
The one subject I remember most was his AND Hillary's cutting the budgets for the military, the intelligence groups, national defense programs, etc., and look at their great results --- The Marine Barracks, U.S. Embassies, The U.S.S. Cole, 1993 World Trade Center, and the last big one, 9-11. These all fall on the doorstep of Clinton President and his "Co -President" .

Answer 7

Clinton was not recognized for anything while in the Presidency except for riding the coat tails of the Reagonomics.

Reagan did all the work and Clinton just rode the good times.

No one knew the better, so no one had any complaints.

I agree with you most certainly on the libs being hate mongers.

But I believe that is reflective of their Idols - The Clintons -
Who are liars, thieves and cheaters and are big time at retaliation.

Answer 8

The very first presidential election I was able to participate in was Bush vs Clinton. I voted for Bush but got Clinton instead. I was disappointed, but did not assure myself that Clinton only won because he stole it. I did not hate him. I wished he weren't our leader, but I did not hate him. I didn't disagree with his policies too much, because he really didn't do much of anything to agree or disagree with. He was just sort of THERE. Even at 18 I would roll my eyes over all the media gushing over every word and action that he did, every Big Mac he ate while jogging, and how charismatic and eloquent he was. I also voted against him for his second term. Again, I was disappointed, but not enraged. I did not hope against hope that he would be assassinated. I did not take to the streets and the internet spewing venom at the very mention of his name. I did not blame him for every single mishap to befall every corner of the United States. When the Monica thing came out, I was really so sick of him in general, I really didn't care one way or the other if he was impeached or not. I'm glad he's out of the white house and if I never hear his name uttered again, it will be too soon. He is of no consequence to me.

Answer 9

I never hated, nor do I hate, Bill Clinton. As a matter of fact...I don't hate anyone.

But I do have a bit more than a bit of a problem with his handling of terrorist attacks during his presidency. See, the first WTC attack hit very close to home....I sat, watching, to make sure my father and brother BOTH made it out of the WTC...My father was working in the 'basement' and my brother on the 89th floor. And I knew some of those who lost their lives that day!

But I guess 6 US civilian deaths at the hands of radicals isn't quite enough to do anything about. But then again...it wouldn't be 'popular' for Bill to do something..and you can't have a Clinton without their popularity polls being considered!

Answer 10

Oh YES!!!!!! I didn't at first, just thought he was funny. There was nothing serious about him, even when the college students on MTV asked him if he wore boxers, or briefs, during his campaign. What kind of political question was that??????? Liberals acted like a joke then, and they continue to with their theories of 9/11, and their lack of freedom of speech for everyone besides themselves.....again... Columbia, and American Universities....throwing food at Conservatives. I began to hate Bill Clinton when Somalia, the attack on the USS Cole, and the attack on our American embassy in Africa happened. So many died for nothing, and Clinton did NOTHING in return....gee, what a good guy!....for terrorists!
My first laugh, and incredulousness though, was during the first month of his presidency, all he and his wife did was throw basketballs and baseballs out at sports events. Clinton did NOTHING, but party the first month! He has got to be the scariest president America has ever had!
