You have a lot of balls going anywhere near this. Bush is the worst speaker EVER to sully the Whitehouse. Clinton was an EXCELLENT communicator, IMO.

of coarse it is. it's done all the time around here. dems hate bush, and repubs hate clinton. mainly because they are both wildly popular with their side.

Nobody hated Clinton. Look at the poll.

Right, That's why the fvcking Repuglicans hounded him for 8 years, bankrolling investigation after investigation with taxpayer money.

Put a viable third-party candidate in there and see how many the Propagandist gets then.
We would but the Dems kept trying to kick Ralph Nader off the ballot. Kind of funny considering how they never would have won a thing had Ross Perot not been in the election.
They weren't trying to kick him off of anything. They were trying to be sure he was following the rules. It's a good thing, too, as members of the GOP were found to be attempting to commit fraud in gathering signatures to get Nader on the ballot in some states.

And, Ross Perot *might* have won if he'd picked a decent running mate. When he chose Stockdale, he lost my vote.


I think Ross "Coo-Coo" Perot was the problem not Stockdale. Plus if it can't stand the heat of a couple hecklers how's he ready to face off angist international threats.

Lib knee-jerk answer: "Oh come on. You can't possibly compare a BJ in the oval office to TREASON!" (Said with straight face and as though that was ALL Clinton was investigated for)

Again like what? were you even alive then?

Actually yes, I was. :roll:

He was an ineffectual Preident, failing to live up to his many campaign promises, such as tax reform (which he blamed on the Big, Bad Congress, which I'm pretty sure were both Democrat-controlled) He certainly did not succeed in "reducing government bloat and bureaucracy." And do you recall the whole allowing Pahlavi into the US with political asylum which led to the Iran hostage crisis in Tehran?

So yeah, Carter is a great man and quite the humanitarian, but that alone doesn't make a successful World Leader.

What you mean is that he was moral and tried to lead morally. The assholes that make up the political elite in this country are the ones who wouldn't follow and paralized his leadership. Carter was one of our greatest Presidents and a REAL CHRISTIAN.

a marked difference from the sleeze that reagan brought in.

Happens in a leftwinged forum. Guess who got more votes?
You'd have to guess because no one really knows since there is no paper trail.

Happens in rightwinged elections.
Bush got 62 million votes. Clinton got 44 million. Guess you'd need quite a big paper trail to make up that gap.

The Dems certainly seem to think he's president, considering how desperate they want his blood.

Gave him a B,he did good things but far from perfect. He pounded the drums until he got NAFTA passed,and that giant sucking sound started.

He passed the telecommunications act that let mega-buck radio corporations like Clear Channel take over the airwaves. Not only is it non-stop RW flaming talk on AM,their FM stations SUCK with their 30 song play lists and non-ending commercials.

He gets a B the things he did for the isreali-palestine conflict ending IRA issuses are definatly comendable, he didn't deserve being impeached by any means. As a president he should have held higher standards for himself and been more mature.

I give him a C

I lost a lot of respect for Clinton when he started pushing affirmative action. NOBODY deserves a job or a break just because of the color of their skin. PERIOD!

B-...voted B.

One big gripe with him (and a gripe with W) is his belief we should have trade agreements at any cost with other countries hiding behind the weak argument of respecting foreign sovereignty. Lame.
