And brush cutter man still has time to go WAY lower than 41%.

Can you poll in square roots?

Having a Republican congress was a drag I’m sure, but at least if he didn’t accomplish liberal goals, it wasn’t because of so-called liberals anymore.

So go ahead and call him the finest Republican president of your lifetime. So long as in the same breath, you also call the ‘92 congress the most effective Republican congress of your lifetime.

Republican? Oh! [moment of puzzlement] You know, you’re right! And this explains why my Senator coleman has switched from his perennial hard-on for George Galloway [Sen Coleman playing a real tough guy copper in those Committee investigations in the Food for Oil scandal] to having a hard-on for Hillary!

Yes, in a recent email response to me, he attempted to justify his position by suggesting that none other than Senator Clinton had voted for it, so therefore I should also support him in his ‘yes’ vote!

Maybe that could be our Favoritest Republican [DLC] Senator’s campaign sloggan:
“Time to get a hard-on for Hilary.” Think of all the Republican votes she’d get with THAT one!

Clinton tried (but failed) on universal health care. He did increase health coverage for kids, get vaccinations up. His economic policies were sound and for the first time in decades, unemployment for blacks dipped below 10%. Take home pay increased. With a combination of child care, EITC, raising the minimum wage, education credits and other programs, the lowest paid workers were able to do about seven times better than they were on welfare or unemployment. </p> <p>In the US, benefits and standing in society are all tied to HAVING A JOB. Clinton ran fiscal policy and programs in a way that Americans had jobs to support their families. Bush presidency has been characterized by people being less able to find jobs and have jobs that can support their families. Bush is all trickle down. Clinton was all about rewarding hard work. The Democratic message should be (is) that people who work hard should be rewarded. The purpose of government is not the Bush ideal to only reward the politically well connected and wealthy Republicans.</p> Bill Clinton was so totally not a Republican.

I like Bill but I have Republican friends that didn’t but they lived making money and the way the country was going. If we impeached every President that had an affair we wouldn’t have Presidents. Now look at dumb America looks to the world. Clinton impeached for having an affair and lying, Bush stealing both elections , invading countries,tortureing prisoners, secret jails, 9 trillion debt, stealing taxpayers money, illegally spying on Americans, lying to Americans and world leaders for 5 years and killing our kids. I guess we only impeach men who have affairs not Presidents who commit 751 criminal acts.</p> You don’t know what good you have until it’s gone.
