"It takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush"
I fail to see why this recycled line gets press anymore, but mostly what concerns me is:


Didn't Clinton take us right back to Bush again?

13. What has bank deregulation, bloated military, etc., got to do with my assertion that.....
Gore got mugged in Florida?

BTW, I was in the US Army from Dec '82 - July '91 and the Army Reserves from July '91 - May '02. This military bloat you speak of started disappearing around 1988. Dollars for military training started to disappear.

4. if Bill was such a success
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 10:46 AM by jakem
at cleaning up there should have been too great a margin to steal in FLA.

Dont get me wrong, I liked Bill at the time. But he did not clean up.


He tidied.

It is not the same. Just ask my wife.

14. Bill's "cleaning' for Poppy Bush ushered Bush2 back in WH. They should've been in jail
by the end of 1994, not preparing for a WH run.

10. Storing that one in the memory locker to be used later. :-)
That line would've killed if he'd actually gotten a chance to use it.

6. Yes! that's my main concern other than IWR...
The RW will become so galvanized and the left demoralized that we will be destined for another "GWB".

12. Who HELPED Bushies to STEAL those elections?
Historian Douglas Brinkley observed that alot of backstabbing was going on in 2003-4:

http://www.depauw.edu/news/index.asp?id=13354

Bill spent his entire book tour DEFENDING and supporting Bush's decisions on terrorism and Iaq war:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/19/clinton.iraq/

Carville calls WH on election night warning about Ohio challenge:
http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/coffeehouse/2006/oct/07/did_carville_tip_bush_off_to_kerry_strategy_woodward


And we are all supposed to believe that Terry McAuliffe just FORGOT to secure the election process after 2000's theft?

Why was the RNC allowed to go uncountered as they spent their four years gaining control of the election process at every level where the votes are allowed, cast and counted?

16. I just put up articles. Who is lying? Brinkley? Woodward? Did Bill's 3week support
of Bush in summer2004 helpful to the Dem nominee attacking Bush on his decisions on terrorism and Iraq war?

You think Bill didn't KNOW he was shoring up credibility for Bush in every interview at the exact same time that Kerry was trying to get out his message of OPPOSING Bush's decisions and asserting his own alternatives?

You think Bill is so naive he didn't REALIZE what he was doing?

You think McAuliffe really had NO clue the elections of 2002 and 2004 were being set up to be stolen by the RNC? Even after the hearings on 2000s theft?

THAT, my dear, is ALOT to swallow.

9. BushInc should've been in JAIL by end of 1994 not getting the keys to WH in 2001.
Bill provided a Cleaning Service for Poppy Bush that most Dems and media ignored while they were enveloped in smokescreen issues sure to keep the press occupied.

What happened to the BCCI report that was handed to Bill when he took office?

How did Bill hold Bush1, Jackson Stephens, AQ Khan, Marc Rich, Adnan Kasshoggi, Dubai and Saudi royals, and scores of other global criminals accountable?

What happened to all the serious matters in that report that REQUIRED further scrutiny and access to documents long stonewalled by Bush1? Clinton NEVER declassified the documents to facilitate further investigation.

Same with the outstanding matters in IranContra. In Iraqgate. In the CIA drugrunning story that broke in 1996.

"Cleaning' up after Bushes is EXACTLY what led to Bush2, 9-11, and this Iraq war.


http://consortiumnews.com/2006/111106.html

When we end up in war with Iran, remember who sided with protecting the secrecy and privilege of the Bushes on all these matters that could have STOPPED much of this violence if we had a Democratic President who RESPECTED the citizenry enough to let them see and know the truth.
