Clinton's insistence that he did not have a sexual relationship with his intern was directly relevant to this case
clinton didn't have sex with his intern. he had sex with an ex-intern. she was working at the pentagon when they started getting it on, after she left the WH.
how hard is it to inform yourself about a handful of candidates? you can do it in an afternoon if you want.
find out who's on the ballot, see where they stand on local, state and national issues. jesus, it's not like you have to root through piles of old newspapers at the library or anything, you can do it from the comfort of your desk.
i mean, i know that there's 'informed' and there's informed but i'll never understand this attitude of blank-eyed ignorance people have about the people who write and interpret the laws in this country. how can you not, on the most basic level, care about the people who exert control over your life and the state/country?
The Fourteenth Amendment didn't specify the First or exclude the Second, it applies to the entire Bill of Rights.
no it doesn't. the 14th amendment doesn't automatically apply to all the previous amendments. the SCOTUS has to decide to roll individual portions of the bill of rights under the coverage of the 14th.
take the 3rd amendment for example. it has never been 'rolled into' the 14th, because there's no conceivable reason why it would be.
the first, 4th, 6th, parts of the 5th (save the grand jury clause) have been rolled into the 14th, but the 2nd has not.
he ignored the terrorism problem which became apparent after the 1993 WTC attack and the USS Cole bombing
He was far from ignoring the problem, he just understands (as everyone should now, after the WMD fiasco) that intelligence is not infoulable, and he therefor set the bar high for evidence deemed necissary to justify a military responce.
not only that, clinton's administration caught and prosecuted those responsible for the 1993 WTC attack.
as for the cole, it happened like 2 months before bush took over. clinton's administration drew up plans to invade afghanistan in response, but figured they didn't want to start a war a month or so before a new prez took over (similar to what happened when poppy bush handed over the mogadishu situation to clinton in 1992).
clinton's administration also caught terrorists such as the millenium bomber etc. and made foreign terrorism a priority, having cabinet-level meetings to the point where they were accused of being 'obsessed' with bin laden.
say what you want about the outcome, clinton didn't 'ignore' terrorism.
I love how you ignore the fact NASA has discovered regarding rising temps on the other planets in our solar system. Are you gonna tell me WE are resp for those too?
not at all. thing is, other planets have wildly different climate systems than we do.
i think the 'excuse' is pointing out that the WND article might want to be taken with a grain of salt.
i mean, if there was an article in Socialist Worker complaining about an anti-bush video being 'censored' on youtube, i'd expect a similar caveat as well on a/. story about it.
quit it with the conservative persecution complex. it was old 5 years ago.
before anyone starts getting all 'see, all you global-warming believers, this is a perfectly rational natural explanation for the current warming trend,' the periods of these natural cycles are on the order of 1.2 and 2.4 million years. not exactly fast-acting.

i love it. bush didn't lie, he just misspoke if you parse it just so.
on the other hand, hussein merely 'acted guilty', which is more than good enough.
clinton lied, but didn't commit perjury.
legal differences; the judge declared that line of questioning to be outside of the scope of the trial, which means that it wasn't perjury.

how that was sexual harassment, i have no idea.
if its a choice b/w rape or death, i'll take rape. it's the lesser of two evils.
'course, it's still rape.
it's easy. the sac is bigger than the quarter, and the susan b has that 11-sided rim.
actually, it's more like some dude in 1880 saying "if i just save $41 a year, i'll have $5000 in 122 years! $5000 will buy me a huge house!"
not if you cut a hole through the part of the brain responsible for 'fighting back'.
Venners acknowledges that the gasification process produces four times as much carbon dioxide as simply burning the coal.
yeah, that's green all right.
what, i don't live in NY? the moderate muslims i know are secretly something else, because you yourself define who is and isn't a muslim?
get a grip.
uh, being a muslim does *not* automatically mean you follow sharia. any more than being jewish means you automatically follow levitical law.
you seem to be from a planet where there are no such things as moderate muslims. me, in NY, i'm surrounded by them.
it's a joke. christ.

and they'll use the blood of christian children in their pastry-making.
don't forget that.

the state can ignore the 2nd amendment all it wants. that amendment only applies to the feds.
now the first, that's different.
he's also called US T-bills 'worthless pieces of paper' or something to that effect. which is also unconstitutional. so it's a pattern.
then again, i never was a fan of that amendment, as it seems to counter the first.
i've never seen a socialist worker article used in a /. story, or something similar in the same vein as WND.

mars, for example. it's axis tumbles, causing wildly fluctuating natural cycles.

actuall, clinton's deal was a 'carrot and stick' approach. then the GOP congress took away the carrot.
Too bad we don't have a way of keeping the Earth in the same orbit/on the same axis of rotation.
if we drop enough bombs on an arab country it might affect the orbit of the earth.

so why don't YOU buy notebooks and give them to poor children?
where's the profit in that?
