"I don't like the Clinton's any more than anybody else in this forum....but they aren't hiding under the bed, or in every freakin closet."
"I am afraid you, and many others, underestimate the raw greed of these two."
Not at all, their greed is famous, and the former President likes to brag about it every four or five months, as we have seen.
I just keep in mind at no time did the former President receive even half of the votes cast on his best day in national politics, and in my view won a second term due far more to the fact that Bob "Its My Turn, Damnit!" Dole insisted on being the candidate than anything else.
When you consider the Thousands of political offices Lost during the Clinton's "era" by Democrats, you get a better perspective of just how "effective" they really were.
What they did best, it can be argued, as compromise the Democratic Party to the point of Minority Status. They lost the House after a forty year run. They lost the Senate. And they lost the ability to claim any "moral highground" due to their absurd stance on impeachment. Check out just how well the DNC has fared with the Clintonites "main man" McAuffile, running the show. Front loading the primaries has given the Democrats a distasteful candidate (among Democrats) for President in the arrogant, boring John F Kerry. I'll also point out that even with four years of "prep" the DNC has failed to remove Nader as a candidate competing for the exact same voters Kerry desperately needs.
I understand people like the Clinton's very very well. Which is why I don't "fear" them. Their time has come and gone. There is no national "demand" for Hillary Clinton to be President. Kerry clearly demonstrates that. There is no national "demand" for a return to power of the Impeached One, in any capacity. Their combined "negatives" in poll after poll after poll should dissuade anyone from "fearing them".
Alas, it doesn't. Some still think they are going to magically undo a decades worth of "image".
Not gonna happen in my lifetime, or yours. Just my opinion.
Clinton won both terms because of Ross Perot. I have zero doubt about that fact.
I sure hope your right.
