Oh yes because God know there are no democrats on the take, was it not just a few years agor Fritz Hollings (D-SC) helped push through all the legislation that people here are always crying about..
Lets see Flordia's constitution required a full recount and cert by x date, that was impossible so the SCOTUS ordered flordia to obey its constitution. could Gore have won? I dont know I do know he was trying hard to exclude Military ballots...

Here is the point what good does bombing do? did anything change in Iraq becuse of the 1998 bombing? At least with the current situation some chage has actually happened. Clintons actions killed people with no real purpose, it was purely punitive and in that way is worse than going in and getting rid of a butcher.
Now I wish Bush had not tried to play the WMD card (same one Clinton pulled in 1998) there was a war that never ended in 1991 and countless UN mandates that were ignored. That in and of itself was reason enough to go in...
in 1993 the congress was not led by republicans it was a democratic majority in both houses until 1995.
Thomas S. Foley a democrat form texas was the House Speaker and the uber liberal George J. Mitchell from Main was the Majority leader in the senate. This was why the failure of the Clinton health care plan was so key, the Republicans who were a Minority party at the time fought off the system.
in 1996 he supported Nafta and GAT (well after both were passed and done in an effort to userp the GOP on the issue. in 1992 when running he said he did not like NAFTA in its current form because it did not force Mexico to live up to labor and environmental standards.
BILL CLINTON: I am the one who's on the middle on this. Mr. Perot says it's a bad deal; Mr. Bush says it's a hunky-dory deal. I say it does more good than harm if we can get the Mexicans to live up to their own labor standards, their own environmental standards, and if we have genuine protection for workers displaced in America.
Of course when in office he signed the NAFTA that was in place.
Hey whore, get this through you rather empty head, I dont like bush I dont agree with him on more than half of what he says and I dont plan on voting for him in the upcoming elections.. Now get the back to the nunnery.
Kinda like libs pissing and moaning about Iraq who said nary a word in 1998 when we (Clinton) decided to bomb them with no agenda other than bombing them? No need to rush to the table there is enough Hypocrisy to go around..
When are people going to wake up and realize that a candidate's platform and record are what matter, not what he/she quips in a 30-second sound bite.
Eh it runs both ways, Clinton ran in 1992 on letting the Hatians in and stopping nafta and before he even took office he reversed those decisions.
The republicans are so happy to have the white house they will keep giving king george whatever money he ask for. If they will wirte him a check for the DoED for multi billions of dollars I dont think they will have an issue with a few billion for space. But alas you are right like Clinton did bush is just putting in big things with late payments for another administration to worry about.
Ladies and Gents today's lame a$$ karma whore award goes to Guano Jim, remember the slashdot rule any post no mater how far removed from politics can turn into a Bush bashing fest...
What are you talking about, uninformed? The federalist papers were written for farmers, give them to the average voter now and ask them to read, and understand them.
Take a look at an eighth grade exam and give it to an eighth grader today.
Now onto the reason for the electoral college look at the trouble we had with a close election in Florida with the recount now imagine trying to count and recount if we went by a popular vote, not only Florida but every vote in the nation would have been recounted. Today with computers to tally think of the effort that would have taken.
An electoral college gives you a reasonable way to break down the vote into countable chunks and only twice in more than two hundred years have the EC and the popular vote differed.
Kosovo was all about regime change, BTW more serbs have dies in Kosovo after the UN action than Muslims died before. Just because you have the power to bomb someone back to the stoneage and they cant fight back does not make it any less of a war.
Yea if only clinton would have taken Bin laden when the sudanese offered to hand him over.. You may not rember the bombing of Iraq but it did happen

In fact clintons reasons for bombing Iraq were familiar to something I heard out of the whitehouse recently..
They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
Wow where were the peacnicks demanding more time for the UN? did Clinton ever proove that Iraq had or was developing WOMD?
Jane you ignorent slut read some of my post, I dont like Bush he is not a conservative and I am not going to vote for him in the next election. But as you have brought it up what technology has bush moved to the commerace department from defence??
Those bombs Clinton lobbed into Iraq kept him disarmed, and finished the job Bush 1 started. A better question: What good did Dubya do? He's gotten us tangled up in a war we can't win, and is getting our soldiers killed every day.
Umm Clinton let him use oil-for-food money to build palace after palace, Bush put him in a hole and then in jail. The fact is (as you said) the first war never ended there was a cease fire which saddam broke, the cruise missles Clinton sent over changed nothing.
this administration is taking unprecedented measures on behalf of its corporate sponsors
Umm Clinton moved aerospace technology from the dept of defence to commercse to appease Boing/Lockheed so they could sell tech to the chinese. Nothing that bush has done is unique. Clinton signed nafta/gat do you think they have helped the American worker? no they helped industry.
I dont like Bush, I wont vote for bush but he is no worse than Clinton..
ummmso its ok to have a war, just not one in which any of your people die... wow you t got the moral high ground on me there. Look at all the bombs Clinton lobbed into Iraq did they do any good?
The Economy 'Sucks' (Actually the growth in the last few quarters has been better than at any time during the Clinton admin) because of 9/11, Corporate scandles (which happend under Clinton but were caught under Bush), and outsourcing which has to do with the weak trade barriers that both parties put into place.
Lets see what the taxcut has done... The amount of Tax receipts pulled in by the US Government was 1,827,454 Million Dollars last year it was 1,853,173 Million, oh yea that tax cut killed our revenue (and this was after 9/11 and the economy that 'sucks'). Now where any problem lies it with the fact bush spends money like a liberal (education is more than 65% up under him, the only things down is transportation. If Bush did not spend money like Ted Kennedy on a bender the problem of deficits would not be there..

Clinton was the commander and cheif of the US military, not a cruise missle was fired without his ok.

Really the whole think about bombing the Balkans, Afganistan, Iraq, and the Sudan was a hoax? The USS Cole was not bombed under Clintons watch?
economy was great
Had as much to do with the Republicans in congress as it did the president..
umm the ass that took a post about a space program and turned it into a 'bush is an a hole' post..
