Clinton --DID SIGN FOR THE DRAFT.
Clinton had a once in a lifetime educational opportunity at Oxford.

He joined the inactive reserves and promised Colonel Holmes he would join the active reserves upon his return from Oxford.

He completed one year and was in his second year when he got notification he had been accepted into the Yale Law School.

He returned home to Hot Springs to prepare for entry into Yale.

He signed up for the DRAFT since it was required by law.

This was confirmed by his friends, his fellow students at Oxford and, in 1992, by the only surviving member of the draft board.

His problem--He write a letter to Colonel Holmes and stated "thanks for saving me from the draft".

He error. He should have written "thanks for saving me from the draft so I could take advantage of a once in a lifetime educational opportunity".

BILL CLINTON SIGNED FOR THE DRAFT.PERIOD.

He received a high number which meant he would not be called since few were at that time.

Critics hit on "Yes! He knew he would get a high number".

Baloney--HE SIGNED BECAUSE THE LAW REQUIRED IT.

Bill Clinton is no coward.

Bill Clinton has never been a coward.

Bill Clinton is a man's man.

He has guts. He whupped on Newt's Barbarians in the House. Big Time.

He took everything the evil Conservatives could throw at him which included starr of scum.

Conservatives spent $110,000,000 on hearings and investigations trying to destroy his presidency. No luck. Too honest. Too strong in character.

EVER HEAR HIM WHINE? EVER HEAR HIM MAKING EXCUSES.

I have hundreds of hours of video on his speeches, press conferences, etc.

BILL CLINTON IS ALL MAN.

I AM EXTREMELY PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A SUPPORTER OF BILL CLINTON AFTER HAVING BEEN HOODWINKED BY REAGAN WHO GOT MY VOTE TWICE.

HISTORY WILL BE VERY GOOD TO CLINTON. HIS RECORD IS HIS CROWN. HE WILL NOT NEED MILLIONS PROMOTING HIM LIKE THEY ARE DOING ONE OF OUR WORST PRESIDENTS-REAGAN.

$$$ SPEAKS. Conservativs are buying a legacy .

HISTORIANS RANK PRESIDENTS THE FIRST TIME AFTER OUT OF OFFICE FOR 5 YEARS.

IN 1994--REAGAN WAS RANKED 10TH FROM BOTTOM BY TWO MAJOR POLLS OF HISTORIANS.

1. BRAVO Swinney
Lets hope the democratic nominee is smart enough to put President Clinton to work for him.

Bill Clinton has never been a coward. The rove/bush machine does not want to tangle with the poor white trash from Arkansas. Bring it on Scaife, you are well versed in failure.

2. I never could understand the fuss
over this. It was really rather brave of Clinton to write that letter and put his name on the draft. Repukes were always saying that he had planned on the Presidency from when he was young. This wouldn't have been the right move then. He followed his conscience, he didn't say that he "had better things to do" like Cheney or play dress up like Bush*.

3. Nite Owl Conservatives hated Clinton with a passion Why?
He whipped their butts.

He whipped them in 5 elections in Arkansas which drove Lee Atwater and RNC batty.

When he drove them out of the White House it was treason.

They thought they owned it for life.

They spent $110,000,000 trying to destroy his administration.

They knew he was great and a danger.

RNC HEAD, THE EVIL LEE ATWATER, SAID IN 1988 "THE REPUBLICANS HAVE ONE MAN TO FEAR THE GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS. HE IS BRILLIANT AND THE BEST CAMPAIGNER I EVER WITNESSED".

THEY WILL ALWAYS HATE HIM. HE WAS GREAT.

HOW GREAT? IDOLIZED AROUND THE WORLD. HIGHEST POLL RATINGS IN HISTORY FOR A PEACETIME PRESIDENT IN EUROPE, ASIA AND AFRICA.
