The border issue is essentialy a wash. Do I agree with it? No. But nobody else was going to stop it.

As I recall, Perot made border enforcement a campaign issue (even though he didn't make it a centerpiece issue like Trump did), unlike Bush and Clinton. Furthermore, it was Bush who nearly doubled the quota for legal immigrants in 1990.

Immigration is far from the only issue where Bush aligned with liberals. If you and others think in terms of actual policies as opposed to party affiliations and rhetoric, you'd notice that Bush and Clinton had a lot more in common than either their fans or enemies would concede. Clinton wasn't that far left, especially on economic issues, and Bush wasn't much right of center. They were more or less on the same page on taxes and fiscal policy, on trade, on immigration, and on foreign policy. Perot offered voters an actual alternative on many of these.

I think GHWB’s judicial appointments were better than Clintons.

You may be able to point out a few stinkers, but Clintons were all stinkers.

Bush’s refusal to enforce the new laws Reagan signed into being along with the amnesty, was essentially a betrayal of Reagan and the nation.

I still think there was a murder with people no more than one to two postitions from Clinton in on it, and his wife intimately involved.

She was given powers she was not fit to exercise. Here obtaining of over 1000 FBI files on people was just one of her antics. She also ordered her staff person to deny access to Foster’s office, and that same person carried out a number of items to keep them away from investigators.

She had a staff that was criminal in nature, so with Bill Clinton we not only got his sordid person, but we got the female Satan with him.

The damage these two did to our respect for the presidency was incalculable. He was still poking anything with two legs. Our youth were exposed to it in the media.

There were five or six legitimate scandals of a nature that could have taken Bill down. The Republicans charged him with minor offenses compared to what he had been up to, and then the Senate refused to try him.

I think Dole was in charge then. Voting for him made me feel unclean for years.

He was as bad as Mitch McConnell is today.
