Ronald Reagan did NOT saddle you with a dime of debt. The liberals who
controlled Congress accomplished that dirty deed.

So says the U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8. Congress is
responsible for ALL debt and debt financing. Plain black and white fact.

Peddle your socialist propaganda elsewhere. Your lies don't cut it

Snort! Snicker! Guffaw!

Not one dime eh?

Reagan's obsession with cutting taxes had helped double the deficit.
- Warren Rudman, "Combat"

During his first term few of those close to him dared confront him with the
unpleasant truth that his huge tax cut and defense buildup, combined with his
relatively minor spending cuts and refusal to consider new taxes, had not
reduced the trillion-dollar debt he inherited but -- amazingly and tragically
-- had doubled it. That was the dirty little secret of the Reagan years. The
Great Budget Balancer of the campaign trail had become the Great Deficit
Spender of the Oval Office. - Warren Rudman, "Combat"

"The liberals who controlled Congress accomplished that dirty deed."

LiBBruls? And that chief liberal Bob Dole, MAJORITY LEADER OF THE
SENATE FOR SIX OUT OF REAGAN'S EIGHT YEARS in office???????

The senate prepares its own version of the budget. And the White
House likewise submits a budget.

Now, list here how many balanced budgets the republican senate
came up with as well as how many balanced budgets Reagan
submitted --->

From rec.humor.funny, on the topic of birthdays:

Last week, President Clinton announced a plan to allow people
as young as 55 to buy into Medicare if they lose their jobs.

In the most amazing of coincidences, President Clinton will turn
55 in the year 2001, the very same year his second term will end.

As has been testified to by Reagan Administration OMB Director Jim
Miller, ALL of President Reagan's budgets were MATERIALLY ALTERED by the
Demorat-controlled House leadership upon their delivery to Capitol
Hill. You are playing games.

Article 1, section 8. U.S. Constitution. Congress and Congress alone is
responsible for the debt.

Congress was controlled by liberals. You lose.

Without in general defending Reagan, nor entering into a discussion of
Reagan's motives, "photo op" badly misrepresents the ceremony.

The interrement of the Vietnam War "Unknown" was an important national
ceremony, in particular for veterans of that conflict, who finally got
"their parade."

I stood on Constitution Avenue as the parade went past. There was, of
course, the ceremonious pomp and sadness as the caisson rolled past,
bearing a casket containing the remains of an American serviceman.
Frankly, I have no interest in whether or not those remains could be
identified. The casket symbolized, symbolizes, all of the war dead, and
for many of us the entire sad episode. The casket had to be there.

Behind the casket marched the soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, all
buffed, all young, all sober. And then the parade was over.

But no, it wasn't. A block behind, following the motorcycle outriders of
the official parade, came the ghost army, camouflage and slouch hats,
jackets with ribbons and embroidered patches celebrating Danang and Hue
and the other strange names that haunted our youths, full metal jackets,
helmets, the familiar black and white POW/MIA flags, full beards, long
hair, bald heads, big bellies. Men in wheelchairs, men limping in their
old canvas-top jungle boots.

Five yards east of me, an older gentleman, with white crewcut, stood at
attention, holding a long salute to the ragged column of veteran grunts,
as tears flowed down his face, and mine.

Some photo op.

I was a little angry at the time that the Vietnam Vets had not been
included in the formal parade, excluded as too scruffy, they reminded us
too much of the divisions and anger of Vietnam. But the Veterans
marched anyway, their way, and had all the more honor that way. It was,
finally, at long last, their parade.

Whatever Reagan's motives at the time, I was glad then, and am still
glad, that the ceremony unrolled. If indeed the remains can now be
identified, then the dead soldier's family should have that fact
confirmed, and then should be asked to allow their son, brother, father
and uncle to serve his comrades with honor, one last time, forever a
symbol of the soldier's sacrifice to his country, whether his country be
right or wrong.

Gary - Keep showing us that you can't argue the facts and must resort to
cheap nasty namecalling to cover up your intellectual dishonesty.

U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8. Congress is responsible for
the debt. Period.

President must sign their budget or veto all of it and shut down the
government exposing the country to military threat and economic
unstability. No other choice in the Reagan years as Congress refused to
grant the LIV to President Reagan.

U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8.

Mr. Christian - in general this is a very well written contribution to
Usenet and I personally thank you for sharing your observations and
thoughts and emotions with us. I genuinely do respect what you've
posted here today.

The Vietnam era is a sad legacy in America's past. One of the many
lessons to be learned from the Vietnam experience is that the
motivations of our leaders must be continually checked. It is now
PUBLIC INFORMATION that Lyndon Johnson OPENLY ADMITTED to his senior
aides that he realized very early on that Vietnam was an unwinable
situation. Yet the bastard Johnson INSISTED that young, brave,
wonderful American men be sent to their deaths because the bastard
Johnson was concerned about his presidential image and did not wish to
go down in history as the first American president to lose a war.
Instead he will go down in history as a terrible bastard who caused the
unneeded deaths of tens of thousands of American men.

Richard Nixon, despite all of his flaws (and flaws aplenty did he have)
did end the war albeit not as quickly as we all would have wished and
for that President Nixon should always be remembered with a degree of
compassion when we weigh his place in history against his other
activities in office.

As for Lyndon Johnson, he will always be America's worst president in my
book. A dirty bastard of the worst degree, a man who makes Clinton look
saintly by comparison.

The Unknowns represent something deeply personal for those who have
served our country. It's their sacrifice and those who served and
those who died for our country that consecrate the the ground they lie
in. The idea that something some politician did could sully that is
infuriating to anyone who has served this country.

It's bad enough that Arlington got dragged into this partisan
bitch-slap contest. Leave the soldiers who died nameless and alone out
of it.

Here's one for you to chew on, smack. While it's true that Reagan
presided over that ceremony on Memorial Day, 1984, those remains were
reclassified as unknown in 1980 - during the CARTER administration.

Really?

Odell, don't you know that Reagan had a working majority in the Congress
for the first six years of his administration? Not only did
Republicans have an outright majority in the Senate, but in the House a
coalition of Republicans and "Boll-Weevil" Democrats (to include
current Republicans like Phil Gramm) supported Reagan's budgets.

Do you think you can just, in the manner of a true follower of INGSOC,
rewrite the past to your own ideological tastes?

You haven't posted facts. Your entire post is intellectually dishonest
and revisionist.

In fact, the Congress gave Reagan >less money< than he originally asked for.

Ronald Reagan gave us stupdendous deficits, aided and abetted by a mostly
conservative Congress, that couldn't control its own appetites for pork
barrel spending.

You're still a kook, Odell. Congratulations on coming in third for
USENET Kook of the Year.

...and of many more Vietnamese men, women and children.

Johnson could have been remembered as the President who signed the Civil
Rights Act. He isn't, nor will be. Odell's harsh assessment of
Johnson's legacy accords, unfortunately, with mine, and (I suspect) with
a great many of those "fine young men" (I'm quoting from memory) who as
a consequence lost respect for the military profession. In their
maturity, one hopes that they regained that respect, especially as far
as the soldiers were concerned, retaining their distain for the
so-called leaders, some of them in uniform, more of them not, whose lies
and dissembling prolonged the war.

That's Richard "Peace with Honor" Nixon to whom Mr. Odell refers.
Architect of the widening of the war into Cambodia, supporter of the
incompetent, cruel and wildly corrupt Lon Nol regime---a regime which
managed to transform what was under Sihanouk a marginal band of lunatics
into the toxic flood tide of the Khmer Rouge. That Richard Nixon.

Historians may cut Nixon some slack on the basis that he inherited the
Vietnam War, rather than building it (as did LBJ), and should recognize
that he did, finally, wind up the war...but he bought into it just as
much as did LBJ. Perhaps it was primarily LBJ's war...but Nixon was a
minority shareholder.

I have always thought that canonizing politicians was rather silly.
There are a lot of reasons to put Nixon and Johnson in the same chapter.
Both were highly effective politicians, and the last former members of
the U.S. Senate to sit in the White House. Both were ruthless, and
extremely partisan...in the sense that partisan loyalty, and partisan
power, counted for both of them far more than did party ideology. Bush
fits that mold; Reagan and Carter do not. I have a hard time ascribing
either party loyalty or ideology to Clinton; he strikes me as more of a
technocrat...resembling Eisenhower on that dimension.

Clinton deserves credit for sane economic policy...which is faint
praise, more for what he has not done than what he has done. He has
been helped by the presence of a recalcitrant Republican congress...I
suspect that having a Democrat President and a Republican congress makes
for a saner economic policy than any other combination. Otherwise I
reckon Clinton's administration will be remembered for the lurid air of
scandal, never really consummated, never touching areas of policy (no,
no Mr. Bill, don't touch me there!), in an economic climate of general
well-being, than for any notable positive or negative accomplishments.
If the nation slept with the Reagan presidency, under Clinton it has
been on an extended visit to a peep show that delivers rather less
than it promises. Even Starr's name misrepresents his role: he is just
the barker out front.

False. The House was controlled by liberal Demorats for ALL eight
years. The Senate was in Republican hands for the first term but so
what?

During the first term but again so what? Some Senate Republicans are no
better than many Senate Demorats. I've never claimed that the Republican
Party is pure. There are many Republicans in Congress who should be
hung on the same gallows used to hang free-spending liberal Demorats.

Malarkey. The House was controlled by lunatic liberals and you know it.

U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8. Congress is responsible for

Baldface lie. Former Reagan Administration OMB Director Jim Miller has
testified that the liberals on the Hill MATERIALLY ALTERED ALL of
President Reagan's budgets. FACT.

And to cut to the chase, the presidential budget is largely just
ceremonial. The president submits it and Congress disposes of it as
they wish. Learn your civics and read your Constitution you poor
ill-educated tyke.

> Ronald Reagan gave us stupdendous deficits

Amazing. How do you lie like this with a straight face? The
Constitution of the United States (Article 1, section 7) grants spending
authority solely to the Congress and Congress alone. The president
couldn't give you deficits if he wanted to. Congress must appropriate
ALL spending. Learn your Constitution.

> You're still a kook, Odell.

I certainly won't disagree with you that Reagan was a teflon president who
did much of what he did for the sake of the camera. But to be fair, one
must say that Clinton does the same thing. That infuriates me just as much.

And Ronald Reagan never once proposed a budget to them, right? If the
money asked for by the President exceeds the revenues received by the
government, a deficit (which must be financed through debt) results. Are
you denying that Reagan submitted anything but a balanced budget to Congress?

Jason Christian started out here with a piece on Veterans. As this
thread evolved, he went on to highlight Clintonomics (the business of
stealing credit for a good economy when Clinton doesn't deserve it).

What follows is interesting trail of where liberal logic will go if you
follow it to its ultimate end.

Wanna know who to give credit to for a healthy economy if you follow
liberal logic to its ultimate end? Read on, the answer will make those
same among you laugh...


Jason Christian wrote:

> I have always thought that canonizing politicians was rather silly.

Regrettably there are not many to "canonize." There are great men such
as Washington, Lincoln and Reagan who defined their greatness while in
office. Men such as these three indeed do deserve to be canonized.
There are also men who were great men apart from their office as
presidents and indeed may have better distinquished themselves before
and after their presidencies than while in office. I refer to men such
as Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower as examples. Then there
are men such as Johnson and Clinton who disgrace and offend the office
of the presidency with their mere presence.


> Clinton deserves credit for sane economic policy

Now that sillyness of yours which has historically earned my contempt is
rearing its all-to-frequently seen face here Mr. Christian. If you were
to be pushed for a specific response to define Clinton's economic
policies, you would be driven to exhaustion to find any identifiable
policy on which to hang your hat. As quite properly pointed out in the
latest literary exercise to honor our nation's greatest living hero,
Dinesh D'Souza notes that Clinton has NO economic policy ---- he hasn't
needed one ---- he is benefitting from the policies which are still
priming the pump of our American economic engine and which were put into
effect a decade ago by our nation's beloved 40th president.

Bill Clinton is basking in happy economic times basically because of two
reasons: 1.) The current Republican Congress is not passing big spending
tax-raising bills at every opportunity and 2.) U.S. military spending in
a post-Cold War world can be significantly reduced. In other words, we
can afford the frivilousness of a Clinton Administration because the
Soviet Union is but no more.

But why is that? Let's look closely...

Your gang, Mr. Chrisitian, has long argued that Ronald Reagan did not
cause the fall of the Soviet Union and that the Evil Empire merely
imploded from its own weight. Of course the fact that while President
Reagan worked tirelessly to bring an end to Soviet communism and while
he long predicted the fall of the Soviets only to see virtually all of
your gang, to a man, laughing at him for doing so is of course to be
ignored. Just as the facts are always to be ingored (or rewritten) when
they do not correspond to the liberal view of life.

Your gang, Mr. Christian, claims that Mikhail Gorbachev (of all people -
what a joke) caused the fall of the Soviet Union. This has always been
humorous to reasonable people, rational thinkers and conservatives in
general as it seems clear that Mikhail Gorbachev could have only caused
the end of the Soviet Union by using the same logic that Adolph Hilter
ended World War 2 by committing suicide. Indeed even the bulk of
residents of the former Soviet Union dispised communism and wanted to
hasten its end, but even THEY do not give credit to Gorbachev whom they
disliked and viewed as a bungler.

But the Soviet Union is no more. And your gang gives him credit for
ending the Soviet Union. So let us follow the liberal logic here. We
are spending less and less because the military no longer needs to be
funded to compete with the Soviets. Conservatives give Reagan policies
credit for this. Liberals viciously argue that the credit goes to
Gorbachev.

So if Gorby gets credit for ending the Soviet Union and there is no more
need to spend money on the military and this is all Gorby's doing, then
it MUST ALSO FOLLOW, that it is Mikhail Gorbachev who is responsible for
your "sane U.S. economic policy" and NOT Bill Clinton. Understand, I'm
only following contemporary liberal logic here.

So please, let us not give Clinton credit for the economy. Using
liberal logic, that credit MUST be properly given to none other than
Mikhail Gorbachev!

Let's all send Gorby our thanks for our great economy!

Praise the Lord!

Asswipe? I guess when you are frustrated beyond belief because all of
your most cherished screwball liberal beliefs have been ripped to
shreads before your eyes by the truth of my posts, you then have no
other release other than lashing out with 5-year-old tactics.

As posted at least 500 times, the president submits a budget. That
process is largely ceremonial as the Congress will dispose of it as they
wish upon its delivery on Capitol Hill. With Reagan's budgets the
liberals then in charge of the House materially altered the numbers
submitted (as so testified by Jim Miller OMB Director) and then
discarded it and said that Reagan's budget was --- and these were their
words "dead on arrival."

The Congress then fashions their own budget as they wish. This is their
privilege as specified under the Constitution -- article 1, section 7.

The Congressional appropriations and budget are then sent to the
president for his signature. This too is largely ceremonial as in the
pre-line-item-veto era, ALL the president could do is either sign the
legislation in its ENTIRITY or veto it in its ENTIRITY.

Vetoing the ENTIRE budget would have shut down the ENTIRE government
causing the military to be defunded and leaving the United States
vulnerable to foreign threats. This action would also have likely
created a global depression as we would have defaulted on debt
obligations and unstablized global money markets. The Congress would
have to (rightly) move to impeachment proceedings. By vetoing the
entire budget, Reagan or any president, would cause massive security and
economic disasters. Signing the Congressional budget is not an
option. It is the equivalent of having someone hold a gun to your head
and tell you to sign a blank cheque.

Now anticipating your next piece of baloney, Clinton did NOT veto ANY
budget. The standoff of a couple of years ago was the result of the
Congress refusing to raise the debt ceiling and appropriate ADDITIONAL
spending. Some lying or confused liberals have made the argument here
that Clinton stood up to the Congress and vetoed their budgets. This is
laughable. Congress vetoed Clinton spending any MORE money.

So again we see that President Reagan was not responsible for the debt.
He had to sign the Congressional budget or force the government into
default and shut down the military. Hardly reasonable options to solve
the budget problems. The only option open to him was to ask for the
line-item veto which would have allowed his to veto SPECIFIC sections of
budget bills without shutting dowm the whole of government. Liberals
would not give Reagan that control and so they continued to pile on debt
to the current 5.5 trillion dollar bill our children will face.

Any reasonable person will see who is right and who is wrong here. I
have offered facts and history and you offer hate and namecalling.

The facts are that congress spent more than Reagan asked for.

You can try to change the subject and state that congress
asked for even less, but then that only makes them look like
even greater liars, for having such a huge discrepency between
what they promised to spend and what they eventually did!

Seems fiting that 19(87) was around the time the iran-contra drugs for arms

clinton does with his women... A tad bit hypocritical..

And don't give me that shit about he did the iran-contra deal to support

those arms to get money...How is that DEFENDING democracy by making a mockery

Earth to Odell - Congress is *supposed* to revise the

Indeed I do. I would probably be classified as the most knowledgable

administration in well over a century. I am so because I have studied
President Reagan and his fine accomplishments in detail and unlike you
don't spend all my hours hating a man who is unquestionably America's

Now on the "jelly donut" thing, I must admit that I can't recall
anything President Reagan did regarding jelly donuts. I can remember
John Kennedy standing in front of the German people and claiming to be a
"jelly donut" by using inappropriate German but we've been over that

For which you won Kook of the Month honors, Jelly Donut, after native

Tom, before I deleted the rest of your ramble, I searched for the string
'> >', indicating that you had found some words of mine with which to
argue. The search failed. The entire rest of your post, which you
claim is an explanation of my logic, responds to...your own imagination,
or your fictional construction. You even, for reasons known only to
yourself, snipped the rest of the sentence, and the sentence following,
wherein I gave credit to Clinton for what he has not done, rather than
what he has done. In this, and probably in this alone, I seem to agree
with D'Souza.

You also snipped the part where I asserted that a Democrat President in
combination with a Republican Congress (d-r) might produce a less damaging
economic policy that any other combination (including d-d, r-d, and r-r).
You seem to have appropriated part of that point in your ramble. A cite
would have been appreciated, albeit astonishing.

By the way, "pump priming" is old Keynesian jargon for
expansionary fiscal policy...which is how professional economists (as
opposed to the gold-bug quacks) explain the early-'80s nominal boom.
The runup in real interest rates that followed follows quite closely the
predictions of the *monetarist* school of professional economists.

I give Clinton credit for working within the bounds of very sober fiscal
policy, cooperating with the Fed, and allowing the economy to find a
zero-inflation growth path. Reagan's obsession with cutting taxes
prevented his doing this. If you want to call Clinton's performance a
"lack of policy," I'll agree with that; I differ from some of my more
liberal colleagues in thinking that a very restrained fiscal policy is,
at least these days, A Good Thing. Vigorous tax cutting, unaccompanied
by vigorous reductions in government expenditures, is *not* a restrained
fiscal policy.

The real credit for the apparent health of the U.S. economy belongs
neither with Clinton, nor with his predecessors. It belongs with all
of our history and our society, which has allowed the development of a
fundamentally robust political economy...including a variety of
features that soften the pain of the occasional and unavoidable
shocks.

This is thorough going nonsense, as has been pointed out to you any
number of times. From 1981-1987 the Republicans held the majority
in the Senate, the Democratic controlled House offered budgets LOWER
than HIS 7 out of 8 years, and Reagan had the Presidential veto to
send any bill back to Congress if his principles were offended by
their proposed priorities or amount of spending. Your argument is
knowingly and unambiguously deceitful.

> So says the U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8. Congress is

You might benefit by giving Article 1, Section 7.2 a cursory read:

Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives
and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the
president of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it,
but if not, he shall return it, with his objections, to that house
in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections
at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after
such reconsideration, two-thirds of that house shall agree to pass
the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the
other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if
approved by two-thirds of that house, it shall become a law. But
in all such cases the votes of both houses shall be determined by
yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against
the bill shall be entered on the journal of each house respectively.
If any bill shall not be returned by the president within ten days
(Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the
same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless
the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case
it shall not be a law.

Reagan could only shut down the ENTIRE government and cause massive
economic and security nightmares in the process. Your argument is
complete balderdash.

U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8. CONGRESS is responsible for
the debt. Plain black and white fact.

> Your argument is

Kettle/pot Mr. Weasel. Article 1, section 8. Note is taken that you
cannot refute the facts and so must resort to piling on loads of
diversions and dodges rather than admit your defeat.

U.S. Constitution. Article 1, section 8. Congress is accountable for
debt. Period.

Sorry you again lose on this one. Don't waste any more of our good time
with your diversions and baloney. Unless you can specifically address
the very clear words of the Constitution, you've lost this argument.

Crinimally indicted? Like Ray Donovan the guy you libs indicted and who
was subsequently found to be 100% innocent of the trumped-up charges you
slandered him with? Or like poor old Cap Weinberger the guy you sleazy
libs indicted with a pile of lies? You mean those indictments?

How many of those 138 people you mentioned who were SLANDERED by
hatefilled liberals were ACTUALLY convicted of anything?

Post your answer right here ----->

Now tell us about how many former Assistant Secretaries of Justice and
how many former governors of Arkansas and others have been convicted and

Now also tell us how many of the following Clinton cabinet are facing

It's factual to note that Congress passed initial budgets
which were lower than Reagan's initial submitted budgets
seven out of eight years. What I haven't seen, and can't
recall, is information about how Reagan's departments
actually spent their funds. Did his department heads
waste their money, or spend it within the letter and
spirit of the signed budgets? Doesn't a President send
supplemental budget requests to Congress when original
budgets were exhausted? This would void rightwing
arguments that Congress authorized supplemental spending
Reagan didn't want. I know for a fact that at least one
goverment agency raced to spend all their budget (initial
and supplementals) as the fiscal year came to an end
rather than have a surplus.

Arguments about who created the Reagan/Bush era deficits
are incomplete. (AFAIK.)

Between 1980 and 1989, some 138 appointees of the Reagan
administration either resigned under an ethical cloud or were
criminally indicted. This marks the largest collection of
political wrongdoers in the nation's history.
Elite Deviance - David R. Simon & D. Stanley Eitzen

During his first term few of those close to him dared confront him with
the
unpleasant truth that his huge tax cut and defense buildup, combined with
his
relatively minor spending cuts and refusal to consider new taxes, had not
reduced the trillion-dollar debt he inherited but -- amazingly and
tragically
-- had doubled it. That was the dirty little secret of the Reagan years.
The
Great Budget Balancer of the campaign trail had become the Great Deficit
Spender of the Oval Office. - Warren Rudman, "Combat"

Reagan's obsession with cutting taxes had helped double the deficit.
- Warren Rudman, "Combat"

When the Commander in Chief of a nation finds it necessary to order
government employees or agents to do things that would technically
break the law, he has to be able to declare it legal for them to do so

Unlike you Mr. Frazier, I do investigate matters and get facts before I
draw conclusions. For instance I know that Bill Clinton told Gennifer
Flowers to lie about their relationship because I heard the recordin g
of him telling her to do so. I also have followed the cases of
Clinton's sexual escapades with Mdms Jones, Scott and Willey. I also
know that White House records show that Monica Lewinsky visited the
White House -- late at night -- over 3 dozen times AFTER she left
employment there. She claimed to be visiting the president's secretary
-- at midnight. Now I've been in the employ of my current company and
have NEVER visited my boss' secretary at midnight nor do I know anyone
who has ever had a similar experience in a work setting.

Today's news reports have released the news that Lewinsky is willing to
testify that she has indeed had sexual relations with Mr. Clinton. This
runs directly in opposition to Clinton standing in front of the American
people and shaking his crooked finger and saying "I did not have sexual
relations with THAT woman." He's lying. It is so apparent that anyone
with two brain cells to rub together could figure it out. You tell us
what this 21-year-old girl was doing at the White House at midnight OVER
3 dozen times AFTER she no longer worked there. Discussing Asian
economic matters? Peace in Bosnia?

Lame. You are completely lame. Now I know that you are desperate to
namecall and rant and pull your regular hate tactics because your hero
Clinton is going to fall and fall hard and even you know it inside and
it is just eating your gut out. And that's too damn bad. Perhaps you
ought to think harder about the leaders you choose to admire and the
character values that they hold. Clinton has been dirty since day one
and anyone who studied his tenure as governor of Arkansas could tell you
so. I mean really, what was he doing all those days in Mena? He was
doing drugs. It is documented that he was in Mena, Arkansas time after
time after time with no explanation for being there. Mena was where his
buddy Dan Lassiter was arrested for trafficing in drugs. And of course
Lassiter is the same guy Clinton pardoned for the drug conviction.
Clinton may have been able to get away with this crap in Arkansas but he
can't pull off his slimy Dogpatch act on the world stage. It was only a
matter of time before he got nailed.

And now he is going to fall. And fall hard.


> What an incredible dumbass.

Yes, Clinton is for thinking that he could get away with his antics in
the White House. And regrettably you are also a hatefilled man who
needs counseling badly.

so that must mean that same congress was responsible for that economic
recovery that you false label as raygun's? After all if the drooling
idiot couldn't find his veto stamp, how would any sane person expect
him to understand a more complex concept like the economy.
