Let me start with one thing, I don't care about the sexual indescrepencies of Clinton. I care about the fact that he lied to the American People and a Grand Jury, which is perjury and obstruction of justice (mind you, the same charges Richard Nixon was brought up on). And you keep bringing up the fact that "oh, that carrier stuff was all PR crap" CLINTON DID IT TOO, except, was he EVER part of the military? NO! He hightailed it to Canada to smoke dope and smoke crack. Ok, if the man is inept at diplomacy, how the heck did he negotiate that very high tension situation with China and the recon plane? Huh? Can anyone give me the answer on that one? You bring up he whined about the WMD, that are in fact there, to the UN until they let him do it. He could have just sent the military straight to Iraq and done what has been done right from the get-go. Instead he went through the proper channels, knowing that France, Russia, and China would oppose him all the way. Ok, if he can be honest and evil at the same time, how is that possible, it doesn't go together, it just doesn't. He's a man of God, which I am thankful for, which will instill moral reasoning in his policies now, which I am also thankful for. And those WMD are there, trust me. Granted, he isn't the greatest orator in the world, but he tries ok, and he's getting better, there have been fewer slipups than there used to be. And the thing about the Texas Rangers, the Rangers will forever be a crappy team, because management doesn't realize that THEY NEED PITCHERS. But I digress. You guys are creating a double standard here, ok, I agree with you now, Bush could have rode in on a chopper, but he chose to fly co-pilot (a position that is required to be wearing a flight suit, check with any pilot, it's standard procedure). WTF is the big deal? Do you dare bring up something like that when Clinton continually showed no respect for the military whatsoever. Big flippin deal that he was the POTUS that deployed the military the most times ever in the history of the Oval Office, he misused them, and didn't let the correct people run things and thus, we had debacles like Mogadishu. So don't even frickin bring up the so called "military failures" of Bush, without thinking about the military screw-up that Clinton was. If your going to bring up the blemishes of Bush (there are, he's human) then don't double standard it and say it was allright for Clinton to do the same thing. And I believe 9/11 is a valid excuse, because it has hurt the airline companies so much (all the major corporations are declaring Chapter 11), consumers don't really want to spend, and ppl are still reacting from the huge loss of the dot com one hit wonders, that's what's responsible for the bad economy, was everyone putting stock in the flash in the pan internet companies. After the '29 and '89 Crashes, you think we'd learn, so that's no fault of the Administration's (Democrat or Republican). So don't try that card, not to mention the fact that for most of the Clinton years, the DJIA was at about the level it is now.
