[Fundraising for Democrats in Oregon]

(snip) Bill Clinton's first major non-sex act as president was to fire the federal attorney in every state who was not a lockstep follower of his, and replace them with lawyers who were. It was an unprecedented move, and CYA on a national scale. (snip)

Next, in collaboration with the then Democrat-controlled congress, he saw to the passage of perhaps the largest single tax increase in American history. Part of this package limited corporate deductions for the paychecks of CEO's to one million dollars per year -- which resulted in the switch to stock options for top executive compensation....(snip)

At this time there are several out of control forest fires in Oregon, thanks to Blubber Clinton's turn over of our forests to the Druid Pyscho Wackoo's the Green Enviralists from hell! (Many Wildfires in Oregon are out of control)

During one of the bombing distractions in Europe, someone within the administration compared clinton with Winston Churchill. I've often thougth that his personality was more in line with that of Hitler and that he would have produced similar results, all in the name of helping the people, if he had only had the power to do so.

GREAT ARTICLE, thanks!

BTW....I believe there's a typo in there....the Democrat controlled congress enacted the laws they are having such a fit about after WHITEWATER gate...yeah, that was after Watergate, but I think White Water is what the author was referring to.

You are correct, cake_crumb, it was White Water. It did come to be called the White Water "Gate" at that time because of the corruption but secrecy of the administration, though.

Well, today's the day that Bubbah will be in Portland, trying to get money to get rid of the only Republican Senator on the West Coast, our very own Senator Gordon Smith.

I think the Oregon Republican committee plans a demonstration outside wherever the fundraiser is being held. Anyone know more about this?

Thanks for the bump.

I don't know whether it is chutzpah or stupidity, but Bubba visiting Oregon after what he did to undermine effective forest management has got to be one or the other.

He does seem to have plenty of chutzpah and stupidity both, just like his wife, and just like the Democrats he's doing fund raisers for, as he is did in Portland today.
