How Many In U.S. Feel Lewinsky Insignificant Compared To Clinton Economy?

[DrFunkenstein]

First of all, DU is becoming very annoying. It was one thing to debate the IWR vote, it's another to go immediately into desperation mode.

Does anyone here really think that people are going to lose perspective on the fact that Bush lied to push us into war vs. a completely unsubstantiated rumor that Kerry had an affair a long, long time ago?

Didn't think so.

This really is a new low for DU. I'm thinking about just spending time at the Kerry blog for awhile, because it is getting stupid in here.

1. I loved the Clinton economy - I was making lots of money

and now I can't even get work in my 25 year profession.

2. Probably a minority...

You would be surprized first on how many people actually think.

8. Most people thought the economy was more important

that's why Clinton survived impeachment.

10. and enjoyed a 65% approval rating ...

during that time.

I long for the day when the only thing our President has to lie about is a blowjob.

3. This is not about an election on DU. This is about an election

where 100 million americans go to the polls.

Why is this so difficult for some to understand?

[BidMarx]

4. Because we like to believe each one is just like us...

And time and time again, we are proven wrong.

5. Nice pic. Laptop with the POTUS seal.

I'll bet Bush doesn't even use his.

[charlie]

6. Yes, he does

I've seen it, it's got a Fisher-Price seal.

7. I beg to differ

Windows still has solitaire, minesweeper, free cell and hearts, doesn't it?

9. Monica was insignificant compared to ANYthing.

The BJs were totally insignificant compared to any of the many ways in which Clinton sold us out during his time in office.

This nonsense about Kerry is total rubbish. Despite having great respect for you and blm, Funk, I judge today's Kerry to be a poor, possibly even a losing, choice as candidate---but it's not because of this idiotic allegation of a midlife affair!

11. All About Repub using slime to make Billions for themselves and Cronies

12. Lewinsky was insignificant

but his lack of discretion wasn't.
When he did that he gave me (along with the rest of the Democratic Party) a black eye.
He forgot that the casino is gamed against him, he forgot this while playing the game.

It is NOT ok to make the Democratic Party look bad.

13. it's not a meme to ignore

It's surprised me how many 'middle of the road' people I know give
a sh*t about this but they do. It defies logic.

Americans are f*cked up about sex and violence and we
don't even realize it.

Deep down, a LOT of people think: "who cares about us going
to war? *I* don't have to go. F*ck those ragheads, they're all
crazy anyway, and we need cheap gas (and I actually get a
hard-on over all the ASS KICKING, as long as it doesn't involve
me). OTOH, that fag lover Kerry, and n*gger lover Clinton,
anything we can do to bring those 'p*ssies' down, is fine
with me".

Really; I've spoken with people that seem to go on and on about
blowjobs and dignitude in the Oval Office, but truly don't give
a rat's ass WHAT reason we went to Iraq as long as they don't
have to go and aren't impacted in any way.

I almost got in a fight at a bar when I let this guy go on and on and
ON about how we had to take out Saddam and all his Al Qaeda crazy
raghead pals or we'd be destroyed.

I said: "man, if this is really, truly, a clash of civilizations with
DEATH to the losers, WHY DON'T YOU SIGN UP? If LSTs were
hitting our Atlantic beaches straight from Alqaedia, I'd be going
to Walmart and buying a f*cking AR-15 and manning the
barricades! Why don't you GO TO IRAQ?". He called me a loser,
unpatriotic and told me to "move to France". He cut off EVERYTHING
I said after that with "MOVE TO FRANCE". Loud, rude and creepy.

This past week, trying to make amends, I buy him a drink. I ask
him about Bush's lying about Iraq, about his draft dodging,

And he says "who's going to be better than Bush? Kerry? Kerry
will probably have a threesome with a whore and a fag in the
Oval Office if he gets in. Plus, he wants to eliminate the military
and name Hanoi Jane to Secretary of Defense". Funny, the guy's
under 30. Was he even ALIVE when Hanoi Jane went to, um, Hanoi?

It's HARD to penetrate these 'lizard brain' thoughts and get people
to understand complex issues.

Kerry = fag lover = draft dodger (cuz he threw his medals back,
and I don't CARE what he did in 'Nam otherwise) = Clinton =
blowjobs in the Oval Office

Bush = kicks ass = cuts taxes = hates fags = never cheats on
Mary^^^Laura

Don't BOTHER me with egghead details cuz my lizard brain don't
wanna know!! Move to France if you don't LOVE BUSH.

14. Move to France if you don't LOVE BUSH.
