The Clinton Bashing Is Heating Up. I Won't Fall For These Smear Tactics.

Am concerned that her record will not be really understood and the bodies that have littered the way to their current positions will never be truly solved. There are too many questions about these Clinton people, that should preclude them from the White House. Especially Bill that cannot keep his parts to himself and embarass the country. Anyway, I hope things go smoothly this election and the indeed the best representative enters the White House. No animosity needed. We believe what we do is all.

Howdy, I'm from Arkansas and I've known of Bill Clinton probably before you even heard of him. I think you are over looking a few things concerning him. Let's go over your posting and I'll point one of them. "They bought up a 20 year old land deal called Whitewater." At the time of Whitewater, Bill Clinton was the Attorney General of the State of Arkansas. That means Bill Clinton was the chief law enforcement officer in the state. James McDougal, a real estate developer, was a notorious huckster wanting to pull off a real estate scam, if he could find a way to do so. He found a way! And it was legal in the State of Arkansas. Back then it was legal. Today it is not. You see, what James McDougal and Bill & Hillary Clinton did was so onerous, so vile, so much in disregard of the public trust that it was made against the law. In most states it already was against the law. Well, what did James McDougal, and Bill & Hillary Clinton do that was so terrible? James McDougal, the huckster scam artist, bribed Bill & Hillary Clinton in advance with a partnership in the real estate scam he was setting up. Never heard it put that way? What else do you call it? James McDougal was setting up a scam he knew could possibly land him in jail, as it eventually did. How to avoid jail? Why, for no charge, make the chief law enforcement officer of the state your partner, IF HE IS CORRUPT ENOUGH! Bill & Hillary were that corrupt. It was Bill Clinton's job in trust to the people of the State of Arkansas to find crooks like James McDougal and put them in jail. Instead, Bill Clinton accepted a partnership from James McDougal, for free. Do you not see that this is the same as agreeing to take half of a crook's profit instead of jailing him? Like I said earlier, the deal made by McDougal and the Clintons would be illegal in the State of Arkansas today and is illegal in just about every other state. ATTORNEY GENERALS MUST NOT ACCEPT FINANCIAL GIFTS FROM THOSE THEY SHOULD BE PUTTING IN JAIL. This 20 year old land deal called WhiteWater was in and of itself sufficient to have disqualified Bill Clinton to serve in any other elected office ever again. That he later served as Govenor is a disgrace to Arkansas. That he later served as President is a disgrace to the USA. This is just the story about WhiteWater. It is not even the worst thing he ever did. There is more, much more that disqualifies either Clinton from elected office. Books have been written about these two. The horrible things in those books are true. Read a few of them. I am certain the democrats can come up with a more honest candidate than Hillary Clinton. BTW: Nothing I've said here should be seen as an endorsement of the republicans. They are mostly crooks, too. BTW: Ever talk to any former military officers from the VietNam War era and ask them what they think of John Kerry? I've known quite a few. Mostly, they agree with the swift boat vets and think John Kerry is a disgrace, a liar, and was never fit to be an officer.

I agree with you. The Whitewater matter was investigated exhaustively, people were punished, and the whole thing was laid to rest long ago. I would hope people's marriages and affairs would become less important in presidential races as there are fewer people with a totally spotless past. Rudy Guiliani has been married 3 times and divroced twice, and other candidates have had affairs or rumors of them. I read reputable news sites and channels but ignore all the 'talking-head' commentaries. Re: Libby-- don't know if he'll ever serve his sentence; he may well get a presidential pardon.

I find it interesting that people always seem to try to dig up dirt on a front runner. You are so right about all of the people doing the yelling. I think they are all afraid of Hillary. I agree that the Monica thing was not right but let's face it if someone really wanted to there could be a lot of impeachable things on Bush. I think the public is too inclined to believe what ever news channesl say. Many decide to believe something because their favorite newscaster or channel says it. Some are slanted more than others I have noticed that CNN is less biased that Fox who says they are fair and balanced and yet they are very pro republican/Bush. No politician is without something questionable in their history. At this point, I wonder if the best person will get their parties nominations or will it be the one with the most money and the best spinwriter. It is too bad that somewhere out there is someone who should be elected to political office and would do the best. But we will never know cause every politician will say what the public wants to hear and will pander to almost anyone to get money.

I'm not so sure the Clinton's were ever a quiet subject. Some say there was a Clinton fatigue, if there was one it is b/c some people were obsessed with them. There is nothing the Clintons can do to avoid the press. If one of them were to donate a kidney, someone would say it was for political gain...no, the talk never did rest/cool down for it to heat up. The level and intensity is the same it were when Clinton was president.

Amen. I am tired already of half-truths, untruths and lies about politicians. The Clinton's have had their share of problems which were made very public. Why do certain people keep harping about them when there is Newt, Libby, Reagan (pardoned 393 and commuted 13) and don't forget the pardon's of the senior Bush. So, you are right. Listen to Lloyd.

Might want to search the Logan Act that Hillary violated while Bill was in office and the Mena coverup before singing their praises too loudly, my friend. Scary stuff.

I'm a huge Hilary Clinton supporter. She will be the first serious female contender for the presidency in my lifetime and she definitely will get my vote if she runs. Her candidacy will bring out the worst in the good ole boys. I expect it will be the dirtiest fight in the history of politics and I'm sort of steeling myself for that. As you said, the right is afraid and when they get afraid, they get mean and fight dirty. Hopefully, they'll go too far and turn off the voters.

Thanks for a very good post. You are so right I just hates when politics get nasty. I get they have never heard that "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". I still like Bill Clinton and would rather have a "lover" like him as president that a sanctimonious idiot as we have now. These kind of tactics make me only look with distaste at the source.

all i habve to say to your posting is a big AMEN !!!

I agree with a lot of what you say, but all politicians have dirt on their hands whether they are Republicans or Democrats. Having said that I won't let any slanted view of any politician running for President cloud my own opinion. It will be very interesting though to see how this Presidential race starts to really heat up given the current administration.

With you 100% on this. Republicans almost always use character assassination of their opponent if they can't win an argument. They're very good at avoiding the real issues and digging up dirt. Like that couldn't be done against just about anyone, particularly politicians. The waste of tax payers money to try impeach Clinton was a disgrace. How can this be considered for the good of the people? It was just vindictive partisan politics - totally non-constructive. I agree Clinton was the best president probably since JFK, though that's before my time. And this despite the distraction of the Starr investigation, and impeachment proceedings, etc. Sure he didn't follow through with all his campaign promises. Mistakes at the start of his first term led to disasterous mid-term elections, and after that he was forced to compromise to get anything done. Still, much positive came from his presidency. Anyway, Hillary would be my first choice. But I'm unsure whether the country is ready for a woman president, or an African American president (still too many bigots around, unfortunately). I'm encouraged, though, that even the Republican candidates are not all bad, in that some have liberal (read tolerant) positions on social issues. I'm fairly optimistic about the country picking a president better than the current one. You'd think that would be easy, but I still suspect the entry of a Gingrich type, or the foisting of some ultra right-winger, puppeteer (ala Cheney), as running mate for whoever wins the Republican nomination.
