What is your hang up on this guy ? He was probably the worst president in modern history.

THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY by Bill Clinton was the worst experienced under any incumbent president since Grover Cleveland. Here are some of the stats:
- GOP seats gained in House after Clinton became president: 48- GOP seats gained in Senate after Clinton became president: 8
- GOP governorships gained after Clinton became president: 11
- GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president: 1,254 as of 1998
- State legislatures taken over by GOP after Clinton became president: 9
- Democrat officeholders who became Republicans since Clinton became president: 439 as of 1998
- Republican officeholders who became Democrats: 3
CLINTON'S SCANDALS, going far beyond Monica Lewinski, were a major liability for Al Gore in 2000, far more so than Ralph Nader. According to the 2000 exits polls:
- 60% of voters disapproved of Clinton as a person
- 59% - including some who approved of him - disliked him
- 68% said he would go down in the history books for his scandals rather than for his leadership
- 44% thought the Clinton scandals were important or somewhat important. In contrast, only 28% thought Bush's drunk driving arrest was important or somewhat important.
- 15% of those who had voted for Clinton in 1996 voted for Bush in 2000.

I wish he would stop ankle biting our current president and go away, his nightmare administration is over !

Name names, give dates and cite sources. Otherwise, it's the same bucket of lies boosted by repetition.

The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance

HA! HA!

I started to address each one of Anderson's theories but then I re-read everything and realized this is unworthy of the time/effort. It's a bunch a generalized innuendo that never materializes into much of anything. My gosh, the 'CLINTON MACHINE CRIMES'...no wonder ya'll could never get Clinton, he had a machine doing his dirty work. And, 'Most number of witnesses to die suddenly'? What in the hell does that last statement mean? I always thought that organized crime figures had the upper hand on that witness-killing thing (TV, I guess).

Yeah, I wish Clinton would quit the ankle biting and move upward to something more damaging...and long-lasting.

Pathetic....and h is the worst president ever.

Oops...BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!</b

Talk about culture of corruption.

Come about 7 Nov there will be talk of a culture of corruption. I must hand it to you guys. You have controlled the microphone since 94. That is about to change and is changing as evidenced by AT blog, the most active and successful blog in this red state. Try going to a wingnut blog and having the liberty to post as you do here. Last time I checked Americans are not yet ready to give up freedom of speech
but give your religio-facists a little more time and they will have the faithful believing it's for their own good.

But we really need a new name for this ilk that has taken over and I suggest Culture of Incompetence.

The source for my stats is a liberal website called the

Progressive review

they are a liberal website that is upset with what clinton did to his party.

check it out for yourself,

OMG, is that the kind of crap you read and believe? Sorry, no facts there.

I miss Bill.

The only thing that needs to be looked at when you compare Bush to Clinton is this- is this county better off today than on the last day of Clinton's presidency? How anyone could say yes is beyond me.

Good Gawd, you goobers are bedeviled with a 'Good O'Arky Boy' made good...can't stand it can ya'...try digging another dry hole for awhile, or just give it up altogether.

Note: Research information on the internet requires intelligent filtering/accreditation.

Lordy, citizen probably believes in unicorns too. Is he still gathering money for the anti-Clinton Museum to be placed in LR? Does he still have his John Birch membership card?

It's just a damn shame there are so many haters in this world and so many of them Republican. What did their Momma's put in their milk? They need to read John Dean's book, Conservatives Without Conscience and understand they can't help being authoritarian's whipping boys any more than gay people can help being gay.

For my money I'd rather spend the weekend fishing with 10 gay guys than 1 torture loving son of a bitch who is in love with George Bush. What a sorry waste of 6 years of my life and all those dead bodies Bush has caused. I'm sorry I don't believe in hell.....it would be a perfect place for him and his supporters.

I like the "randomly selected American" test.

Would it would improve the country to replace the president with a randomly selected American who meets the constitutional requirements?

Clinton is definitely way above average in just about everything except morals, where he's the average Joe. Trading him would not improve the country.

Bush is clearly below average in just about everything -- if he had been born into an average family instead of one with great wealth and power, he'd be managing some small local business if he were lucky -- so trading him in would defintely improve the country.

LOL, even presented with facts and you libs are still in denial.

"I'd rather spend the weekend fishing with 10 gay guys than 1 torture loving son of a bitch who is in love with George Bush."

Im sure someone at backstreet could set that up for you deathbyinches.
LOL

Good Come Back...LOL (no facts) LOL. 'bout par for the RePucKLian Klan.

How funny, Citizens Journal, I just read the links that you posted to back up your "facts", They are a real hoot......sorry dude you got a serious credibility gap there.

If that is what you classify as facts I'm REAL glad you aren't the prosecuting attorney for Pulaski County.......or anywhere else for that matter

Is there someone sane who wouldn't?

I don't know any gays who sanction torture and (I love this one) allowing prisoners to be sentenced to death without seeing the evidence against them.

It's scary to think that maybe half of Arkansas is walking around thinking that torture is a good solid law enforcement technique.

You damned conservatives on this blog -- do you torture your children to get the truth out of them? If not, why not? It seems the height of hypocrisy to me to encourage our government to torture someone's child when you aren't willing to personally do it to yours.

I know what you're going to say. They're terrorists, and we aren't.

Millions of people around the world do consider us terrorists (and we do a great job at spreading terror), and that includes your children.

So what do you think about lilttle Laurie and Georgie Jr. having their genitals ripped by dogs? Maybe while you get to watch, swearing you know nothing and hearing nothing but laughter and cries in return?

Fair is fair. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Roland, the angry liberal and hater of your evil.

I read the entire article. Very interesting.
Sadly, numerous websites like the one quoted by Citizen's Journal exist.
And, even sadder, people like the poster buy this crap hook, line, and sinker.
Hubby and I took a little trip today through the northern part of the state, up through Independence, Sharp, and Fulton counties.
The Beebe yard signs outnumber the Asa! signs about 10 to 1.
I miss Bill Clinton, too, and it will be a great day when we elect Hillary to lead us out of the dark, slimy pit we are in now, thanks to Bush 43.

John Anderson, one of the wingnuts, from Citizens Journal, has given Coulter's book, Godless, as something he's reading. Problem is he's listed it for the past 6 weeks or so. John, if you're about through with Annie's silly screed here's three books that will give you some facts:
Cobra II
The One Percent Doctrine
Fiasco

Wow, you mean someone is actually reading Coulter's book, and it is still on their radar after six weeks?
I could have zipped through it in less than a day and set it on fire, if I had wanted to roll my eyes, gasp for breath in outrage, and control the urge to choke the living crap out of that idiot.
Glad I didn't buy the book.

Whose malfeasance? Asa the Inquistion King, Ken Starr the executioner? Or just idiot jerks like you could never discern the difference between a blow job and
Major crimes and misdemeanors.

No Clinton didn't bring down the Demos, Monica did. She set her sights on having sex with the guy before she went there. How's that for a limp argument? Original sin should appeal to some of you totalfukingnutjobs.

Wonder how desperate the Bush loyalists are? Calling their own websites liberal! and masquerading as Democrats or sympathizers.

". . . they are a liberal website that is upset with what clinton did to his party. . . " The Citizen's Journal AKA EEC

And Citizen's Journal? Don't despair! George is moving to eclipse all of your imagined records with no help from the loyal opposition.

"There is a major reason why Bush is trying to work the country into a frenzy of inchoate fear right now, even beyond the necessities of the upcoming election. The only way he can justify his torture regime and destruction of the Bill of Rights is to create a boogeyman so heinous that the rules that stood this country in good stead throughout its history and even in fighting WWII and the Cold War are no longer adequate." AND

" What the President has accomplished with his bellicose media campaign is to cement the idea that torture is a Republican idea, pushed by a Republican President, with Republican backing."

Clinton says he just can't understand the phenomenon of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth tarring a guy like John Kerry, who was a real war hero in Vietnam, and getting away with it, with all the tacit encouragement of the Republican national campaign. It's beyond his imagining.

Yeah, just like Clinton "did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky." One fraudulent liar is amazed that another even bigger fraudulent liar is outed?

What the hell has happened to the Democratic Party?

Bill Clinton is a narcissist and largely responsible for the destruction of the Democratic party.Posted by: The Citizens Journal

Just for the record, under Richard Clarke's leadership as Czar of
Counterterrorism:

~CLINTON developed the nation's first anti-terrorism policy, and appointed
first national coordinator of anti-terrorist efforts.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold the Al Qaeda millennium hijacking and bombing
plots.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to kill the Pope.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners
simultaneously.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up UN Headquarters.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up FBI Headquarters.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up the Israeli Embassy
in Washington.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up Boston airport.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up Lincoln and Holland
Tunnels in NY.

~Bill Clinton stopped cold a planned attack to blow up the George Washington
Bridge.

~Bill Clinton tried to kill Osama bin Laden and disrupt Al Qaeda through preemptive strikes (efforts denounced by the G.O.P.).

~Bill Clinton brought perpetrators of first World Trade Center bombing and CIA killings to justice.

~Bill Clinton did not blame the Bush I administration for first WTC bombing even though it occurred 38 days after Bush left office. Instead, worked hard, even obsessively - and successfully - to stop future terrorist attacks.

~Bill Clinton named the Hart-Rudman commission to report on nature of terrorist threats and major steps to be taken to combat terrorism.

~Bill Clinton sent legislation to Congress to tighten airport security. (Remember, this is before 911) The legislation was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the airlines.

~Bill Clinton sent legislation to Congress to allow for better tracking of terrorist funding. It was defeated by Republicans in the Senate because of opposition from banking interests.

~Bill Clinton sent legislation to Congress to add tagents to explosives, to allow for better tracking of explosives used by terrorists. It was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the NRA.

~Bill Clinton increased the military budget by an average of 14 per cent, reversing the trend under Bush I.

~Bill Clinton tripled the budget of the FBI for counterterrorism and doubled overall funding for counterterrorism.

~Bill Clinton detected and destroyed cells of Al Qaeda in over 20 countries.

~Bill Clinton created national stockpile of drugs and vaccines including 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine.

Of Clinton's efforts says Robert Oakley, Reagan Ambassador for counterterrorism: "Overall, I give them very high marks" and "The only major criticism I have is the obsession with Osama".

Paul Bremer, former Civilian Administrator of Iraq disagrees slightly with Robert Oakley as he believed the Bill Clinton Administration had "correctly focused on bin Laden."

Barton Gellman in the Washington Post put it best, "By any measure available, Bill Clinton left office having given greater priority to terrorism than any president before him" and was the "first administration to undertake a systematic anti-terrorist effort".

Clarence Swinney,

Political Historian

(And he did it all without violating anyone's rights.)

Thank you, Mr Swinney. That's worth saving for the next time CJ or one of his clones pulls out their standard pack of lies.

looks to me like the usual nameless pile of shit they put out daily. put a name and facts behind and i will consider it.
