It's human nature...

It's also just another thing they use in their arguments that make no fucking sense. Hey it's Mindia LET'S JUMP HIS SHIT.

Not that I really care seeing as who it is...It's the point of the matter.

Clinton wouldn't be doing anything special right now, get over it. He was an OK president with a few shortcomings that were pretty major depending on which side you look at it from. He's not going to come in and "fix the country"...if you believe so, you're delusional.

Clinton was a dirtbag, and an ok president. His personal affairs and criminal activities far supercede anything positive he did as president. He was undoubtedly the biggest worldwide embarrassment in U.S. history.

You don't know anything about Clinton if that's the only negative thing you know about him.

Mind you that sort of worldview seems to be shared with the Bush administration in general. If you're not one of them, you're not only wrong, you're somehow against America (and frequently God).

Have to love Bush. If your not with us your against us. Forcing countries like Switz to drop their long standing neutrality or be considered an evenmy of the US. We are lead by a man who has determined that he is God and that if you do not fight with him, he may choose to destroy you for it at any time because obviously you are the enemy if you dont join his fight.

Clinton was a lame-duck president. At least Bush is making progress Nationally and worldwide. I love how many of you laud Clinton because you were mesmerized by his oratory skillz, and that he was a Rhodes scholar. :rolleyes: Just further proof that many of you have difficulty in positioning of proper priorities and value systems. Just because you're a democrat, and Clinton was a democrat, does not make him a good president. Bush is much better for business, for the economy, for education, for National social issues, and for worldwide affairs.

For those of you who like to place Clinton on a pedestal, I suggest you read the biography, "The Final Days" by Barbara Olson. Yeah I know... that means you might have to put down your comic books for a couple days. Just open up your minds and read it.

Clinton was reponsible for the longest period of economic growth in the history of this country. I hardly call that "a lame-duck president". He also had one of the best job aproval ratings of any preseident since they started tracking it. The people of this country seemed to think he was doing a damned good job.

I'm really playing both sides of the fence here because I did like clinton but...

Ever think that had something to do with the ginormous .com bubble of economic craptasticism?

He had high approval ratings because he did nothing without taking a poll first. Just because something is popular doesn't make it good.

Hmm, Waco, selling secrets to China, Elian Gonzales, Marc Rich's pardon, vandalizing the White House, using the Secret Service as personal errand boys, gutting the military, policy of appeasing terrorists....yup yup yup...he was great!

I guess everyone just remembers what they want to. Clinton haters remember the bad. Clinton suporters remember the good. The Elian Gonzales is still debated as either a good or bad decision. The GSA has staited the vandalizing didn't even take place (Bush spent 200,000 on that investigation). I still consider him one of the greatest presidents this country has ever had behind FDR and on the same level as Reagan.

You don't consider removing all the W keys, vandalizism? I guess you're right cuz the GSA characterized that as a 'prank'. Wonder how much that 'prank' cost taxpayers....

What did he do that you consider so great? I honestly want to know.

The accounting office confirmed that $9,324 had been spent to repair or replace various items and to clean offices. That included $4,850 for 62 keyboards, $2,040 for 26 cellphones and $1,150 for professional cleaning. In addition, the White House and the General Services Administration estimated that it cost $3,750 to $4,675 to replace missing doorknobs, medallions and office signs and the large presidential seal, the accounting office said.

$25,789 wasted. That's more than a lot of hard working people make in a year. Some prank.

Adds up to between 13,074 and $14,017 to me. And things like the $1500 cleaning bill would have been charged anyway. There is always pranks after a president leaves office.

so it was a 13K - 14K transition and a 200K investigation demanded by the bush administration.

Sure its imature for the clinton or any presidential staff to do what they did when they left. But this is something that heppens every time a new staff come in. It happened between Regean Clinton as well. You also had alot of people who think that the election was rigged in the state of Florida giving Bush the presidentcy even though by popular vote he had lost. I am sure this caused alot of anger amoungst the clinton staff. Lets also rememer it was the huge staff that did this not him. I do think that the Clinton staff should pay the 14 - 15K in repairs and that they should have just been sent a bill and spared the tax payers the 200K investigation.

But as we saw by the recount, the recount, the recount, the recount, and the recount... that Bush was the clear winner.

You missed the important part.

think that the election was rigged in the state of Florida.

As in the number of votes that were not counted or incorrectly counted.
Whether it be the chads, or it be that the order of the people on the ballots was changed in certain areas and in those areas, they had an unusually high amount of 3rd party votes and it just happend that the Demecrate and 3rd party cadidate were swapped on the ballots. And of course that it was the state that his brotehr happened to be the governer of that had all the problems was also fishy.

Regardless, it doesn't matter what you or I think of what happened in that election. I was just pointing out that it was the feeling amoungest the staff and many members of the party at the time of the incident.
