Former President Bill Clinton has issued a statement urging Scots to reject the upcoming independence referendum. In a statement released through the pro-unity Better Together campaign, the 42nd president said Scots could send “a powerful message of both identity and inclusion” by voting to stay within the United Kingdom.

If Billy says vote “no”....then a YES vote is what it should be!

Bill is concerned about the availability of Scotch whiskey. Can you imagine living with Hillary without access to Scotch?

You only need the good stuff until you're buzzed. Then you can get by on moonshine and not really notice the difference. Drink harder, not smarter.

If the vote is no, then the spirt and legacy of William Wallace may as well be forgotten.

All of those currently in power, all of the new world order cognoscenti,
are urging a “no” vote. They have done a wonderful job of destroying western democracy and capitalism. A “no” vote is a vote for those who would continue to attack our western cultural values as we know them,
and for which generations of our ancestors fought to preserve.
Clearly a “yes” vote is a difficult road and there will surely be difficult times,
but the time is now to take back what is theirs and start anew. Kind of a Scottish spring. Maybe it will be a call to the remaining bastions of Western civilization to do the same.

Bill Clinton: Vote ‘no’ in Scotland

He just convinced more people to vote "Yes" than Sean Connery has.

Probably sees a “NO” vote coming and wants to be able to take some credit and be on the “winners” side.

Sean Connery is not even going to Scotland to vote on this. In order to avoid paying taxes he has to limit the number of days he is there and not voting or campaigning in person is not worth it.

Bill Clinton, the traitor of Chinagate and the woman molesting liar, who should be in prison, is looked up by some as a world leader. He’s a popular guy, donchano.

Because we’d kick the crap out of them, and I am a NO voter.

If ever there is a single word that all democraps hate, it is "Independence."

Except for the late Harry Truman, who lived there.

Are you saying Connery has a negative impact on the “Yes” vote? I thought he was a major driving force (even if absent in body and taxes).

The yes vote will show that the spirit of Karl Marx has been remembered. Wallace, I’m sure, would not be voting yes. A different time, of course, in the 13th Century.

Not neccesarily. Even a broken watch is right twice a day.
