I'm was a big fan of Bill. Even voted for him in 92 (but voted for Browne in 96). He's still the best Republican President since Eisenhower.

Lewinsky was of legal age at the time and there was never a question of her consent 15 years ago IIRC. Seems Paul is just dredging this up to get some more media spotlight of his own.

Republican? The tax increase he pushed through without one Republican vote?
He did compromise with Republicans on some issues (Welfare reform) but he held back the crazier Republican ideas.
Error, Republican not found .

It's a joke. I thought a well known too. Clinton was the first (and last) President to balance the budget 2 years in a row since Eisenhower.

Clinton never balanced the budget... that is actually what makes him closer to being a member of the party founded on imperialism, legal tender, high taxes, corporate bailouts, and military rule.

Here is reality, great leaders keep Mistresses its been going on for as long as we've had great leaders. Honestly yes its poor judgment to mess around with an intern but who has it really damaged. His family and maybe hers, however Monica has done pretty good for herself post scandal
I never liked how it started off with Whitewater land deal that seemed suspicious then moved to a BJ and DNA stained dress.

I wonder what is worse. The President getting a blow job in the privacy of the Oval (Oral) Office, or one U.S. soldier dying in Iraq as the result of the President's lying about weapons of mass destruction.

But Benghazi!?!?!

The Democrats need to take the the Republicans ridiculous concern about Benghazi and make an issue out of it. Something like this, "They are more concerned about Benghazi than they are with providing health care to Americans." "They are more emotionally invested in Benghazi than they are with solving our nation's health care and economic problems."

Someone needs to come up with a catchy soundbite to encapsulate that.

How about, why did Amb. Stevens refuse additional security that was offered to him twice.

How about Hillary just stated that one her biggest regrets Sec of State was Benghazi?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/28/u...ack-her-biggest-regret-as-secretary.html?_r=0

Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday called the deadly attack on the United States mission in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012 her “biggest regret” in the four years she served as secretary of state.
“It was a terrible tragedy losing four Americans — two diplomats and now it is public so I can say two C.I.A. operatives,” Mrs. Clinton said during remarks at the National Auto Dealers Association convention in New Orleans. “You make these choices based on imperfect information.”
Mrs. Clinton then added, “But that doesn’t mean that there’s not going to be unforeseen consequences, unpredictable twists and turns.”

Actually 4 years. 98, 99, 2000 and 2001. Factor in the dot-com bubble and the Social Security till raiding and those were hardly balanced budgets.
