I kept promising myself I wasn't going to do this, but I guess the part about not caring if he was a serial killer (but Bush LIED!) put me over the edge. That, and two people saying Clinton was "one of the best presidents in [their] lifetime."
No, and to paraphrase Politicophile, I will not put up with the current liberal hypocrisy, namely, that Bush should be removed from office for doing a tenth (maybe) of what Clinton got away with, namely, but not limited to:
His "wife" trying to nationalize 17% of the nation's private economy through her heavy-handed plan for socialized medicine.
Major Democratic campaign contributors sold and transfered vital American nuclear, missile, and satellite technology to avowed enemies of freedom, and of the United States.
[This was the WORST offense, in my opinion, and I can't think of another politician particularly a president, who would have even CONSIDERED such a thing.]
There were wholesale violations of basic campaign finance laws. Then we saw the Democrats and the Clintonistas engage in a concerted effort to make sure that none of these campaign finance law violations were subject to a serious criminal investigation.
Five members of Clinton's Cabinet came under criminal investigation.
Thirty-three connected to the Clinton administration were convicted of crimes.
The Lincoln bedroom in the White House was turned into a high-priced five-star hotel almost 600 times, with the basic rate being a huge campaign donation to the Democrats.
Seats on government overseas trade missions were sold to the highest bidders --- for campaign donations.
Monica.
The president groped and fondled a woman who came to him for help in securing a White House job --- wrapping up the sordid episode by taking her hand, and forcing it into his crotch.
Forty-five witnesses in criminal investigations or critics of the Clinton administration were subjected to IRS audits.
Five women who were said to have been associated with Bill Clinton complain publicly of physical threats having been made against them.
Hillary Clinton issued a 42 paragraph sworn statement to a House investigating committee investigating Clinton wrongdoings, and in those 42 paragraphs, she used the phrase "I don't recall" or its equivalent no less than 50 times. Even Randy Cunningham didn't feed us THAT crap.
Bill Clinton said "I don't recall" or its equivalent in portions of his testimony about Paula Jones 271 times.
Other Clinton administration friends and officials said the words "I don't recall" or its equivalent a total of 6,125 times before various investigating committees --- for a grand forgetfulness average of 235 times per person.
He lied under oath - several times.
He used the powers of his office to obstruct justice and to deny a private American citizen her constitutionally guaranteed right to a day in court.
American servicemen were scattered to nearly 100 foreign nations to serve as glorified cops, and cafeteria workers in various international "meals on wheels" schemes.
Aspirin factories in foreign countries were bombed to divert attention from presidential scandals.
Bodies of dead American servicemen were dragged through the streets of half assed inconsequential foreign dog-patch nations by mobs of people who aren't fit to utter the phrase, "would you like french fries with that."
He agonized over what the definition of "is" is.
He refused to personally respond to a very credible accusation of a violent rape.
Almost one thousand confidential FBI files of those not friendly to the president's political agenda were gathered by former bar bouncers working in White House security positions --- with absolutely no consequences. [Yet people complain about the Patriot Act.]
[My second-place winner of worst offenses] In 1996 the Democrats rushed to naturalize tens of thousands of [some sources say 650,000] illegal aliens, while ignoring the legal requirement for background checks, in time for them to vote Democratic in the election. In the process they included thousands of violent felons ... for their votes. There is also evidence that the perpetrators of 9/11 were allowed to enter the country then.

I give credit to Neal Boortz for compiling this partial list. I give very little credit to Clinton for what he did during his term in office.
