You've got to be kidding. If it wasn't for Ross Perot in 92 George H. Bush would have been reelected. If the republicans would have put up a real candidate instead of Bob Dole he could have been beat. If the Monica Lewinsky affair was known about in 1996 he might not have been reelected. And if all the information about him at the end of his second term was available in 1996, Bob Dole might have been president. President for life my *ss.
I will listen to the Limbaugh show tomorrow.
Rush will be away the coming week on vacation.
That's what is so odd; she usually gets it all; she knows as much as I do about politics; this one flew under her radar.
The girl IS good.
Yes, he was quick to point out the dishonesty. LOL.
Isn't Lanny Davis popular with both George Gordon Liddy and Oliver North? Politics in VA does make for strange bedfellows.
My brain just does not work like these people.
I can't watch it. Today is my day to clean the toilet.
Say, pal, put the glass of Kool-Aid down.
That's just an out and out lie.
Clinton, on the other hand, well, if you take the fluff and the self-aggrandizement out of the interview, there's not much left but the commercials
Each ones most famous quote below,
Ronald Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Bill Clinton: "I did not have sex, with that woman, Monica Lewinsky!".
Let me guess: you're on the Gen X ping list.
I don't know about that, but I'm just about certain he's going to turn up on the Missing List when the white coats do a bed check. ;)
It's a good idea to be able to back up statements like that on FR:
I can prove that's an out and out lie.
| Poll Says Americans Would Not Want More Clinton May 20, 2000 2:22 PM EDT By Steve Holland WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton often sounds wistful for the chance to run again for president, but a new poll released on Saturday may give him pause. A CBS-New York Times poll unveiled on CBS' ``Saturday Early Show'' said 57 percent of Americans would not consider voting for Clinton if he was allowed to run for a third term, while 39 percent said they would consider it. The question is moot, since the 22nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution limits a president to two four-year terms, and there is no move to change it. Clinton's frequently muses that he will not be on a ballot in November for the first time in 25 years. ``Most days I'm okay about not being on the ballot,'' Clinton told Democratic faithful on Friday. ``And the other days that I'm not okay about it, you have the Constitution to protect you.'' These comments apparently have gotten the attention of the American public. The poll said 66 percent of Americans think Clinton would run again if he could. Asked if they thought he would win, 56 percent said no, compared to 32 percent who said he would. The White House dismissed the findings. Spokeswoman Nanda Chitre called the poll ``the mother of all hypotheticals'' and referred reporters to the 22nd amendment. What is lacking from the poll results is how Clinton would fare when compared with an identified opponent, Texas Gov. George W. Bush for instance. Bush's Republican presidential campaign said the poll results clearly showed many Americans were suffering from ''Clinton fatigue'' brought about by multiple scandals. ``There's a little bit of fatigue here,'' said Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. ``And if the American people want to make all the scandals and the investigation go away, the best way to do it is to elect someone new and different.'' ``That's one of the reasons why Gov. Bush is doing much better than Vice President (Al) Gore,'' he added. Bush is leading Gore in the polls for the November presidential race, a position Clinton says could change when Americans study Bush's stance on the issues. Despite the poll results, Clinton's public approval ratings have remained in the 60 percent range, higher than the 48 percent rating that the last two-term president, Republican Ronald Reagan, held at this stage of his tenure. Clinton said on Friday he would concentrate on his job for the remaining eight months of his presidency. ``My problem is not that I don't have anything to do, it's that I can't bear to go to sleep now, because I realize I've just got about eight months left and I want to get the most out of every day,'' he said. |
The media created the Boomer myth when I was in high school (there was a Time Magazine article on the "new generation") and magnified the numbers of hippies, demonstrators, etc.
And now that we are older, the media gives the most face time to those same types.
There are plenty of people in my generation who are self-absorbed idiots, but that is true for all generations.
I do not like to indict whole generations, because they are made up of individuals.
And the George and Laura Bush are the same age as the Clintons.
Clinton is more of an economic conservative than Bush 43.
Are you sure you are playing in the right sandbox?
Thanks!
Most of my friends fit that category and they are very conservative and have raised their children with the same ideals. Nice slam!
Forgot about that one. Thanks for the reminder.
I'll buy that book when they pry my money out of my cold dead fingers!
If it wasn't for Ross Perot in 92 George H. Bush would have been reelected.
The reason that I do not believe this statement is that GHWB did not quite hit the 38 percent mark in 1992. And some 6 points that Perot received in 1992 switched to the popular "Bill" in 1996. Three other Perot points of 1992 went to Bob Dole in 1996. That assumes that the 10 other Perot points of 1992 split 5-5 between Clinton and Dole four years later, or many of those previous Perot voters did not vote again in 1996. I really don't think that Perot elected Clinton, but he made Clinton's task a cakewalk in the process. People forget that Perot virtually endorsed Clinton in July 1996, saying the Democrat Party had "revitalized itself." Then he was "back in the race" in October, presumably trying to help Clinton by splitting the vote. But GHWB had angered his base, and many were sitting it out, going to Perot, or even going for "their Bill" too.
OMG.....here they go with that stuff about Congress not sending their sons to the military.
That lie has been debunked on FR in the last month; the Congress and this administration have more children serving in the military at this very minute PER CAPITA than the general public does!
