If the motto is "Forward", why are they dragging out Bill Clinton?
WCA foolishly asks:
Got a memory problem WCA? It's your party of ideologues that's been trotting out President Clinton as an exemplar of excellence - just about the only thing they've gotten right.
Try really hard to remember. It was Clinton who ran the country relatively smoothly in cooperation - see that word "cooperation" - with a G.O.P.-dominated Congress.
If the motto is "Forward", it is to draw a sharp contrast with the hopeless Neanderthals masquerading as Republicans who want desperately to go backward.
Because he is the only Democrat America can tolerate.
Thats the only reason.
Naw, ruddy - it is because we know it always gives the neocons fits! Plus, you guys really really hate it when someone poor gets wealthy and actually remembers how they got wealthy, and President Clinton is a great example of how it should work in this country.
Cant wait, last night was a barn burner. So much joy, so much energy, Tampa was like a funeral by comparison
You are so right. What a contrast. Tampa seemed like just a bunch of angry white people worried about taking back "their" country...
What a role model to lecture Americans. Lied, Impeached, called women bimbos. Yep, Bill Clinton, a real American role model.
The Democrats show that they truly are the party of the American middle class. How unlike the Republicans, who are aloof, wealthy, harshly judgmental, and focused on the past.
Obama had the country in the palm of his hands when he was elected. He could have done great things. He came in as the great uniter. He said he'd have a transparent administration. Instead, he's divided us along socio-economic, racial, and even religious lines. He's a committed marxist and despises business people, who actually pay the taxes to run the country. He's probably taken us over the cliff already with his overspending. But if he hasn't yet, he will if he's re-elected. He'll consider that another mandate from the people to turn us into a welfare nanny state.
They will not listen to truth.
It is not something a Democrat is able to do.
Ding, ding, ding, ding!!!!
We have a winner here. No-More-For-44 has included more baseless talking points in a single post than anyone else in the last 24 hours.
Marxist!?!?! Don't you people ever stop?
Listen to conservatives shriek! They know that
they are suffering by comparison.
The hysterics seem to result from the realization last week’s GOP dog-and-pony show
was every bit as ineffective as they feared. It takes more than shoving
delegations with large percentages of dark faces (American Samoa!!) into seats
close to the front of the hall to give the illusion of diversity, or having
Mrs. Romney bellow “we love women” and expect all of those anti-woman policies
to be forgotten.
I am going to enjoy the next couple of nights.
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have been the best Presidents of the United States, in my lifetime, and not because of the state of the economy during either of their administrations - let's face it, how much does any one President control the economic climate?
No, Clinton and Obama have been the best, because they have looked for solutions to whatever challenges we have - unlike Reagan, and the two Bushes, who thought of government as just another business opportunity. Republicans are always looking to make money for the private sector off the public need for education, healthcare and housing. They even privatize military needs, all to enrich some corporate crony. Clinton and Obama focused on creating opportuity for all Americans, using American military strength effectively, and building a functional and fair country.
What do Romney and a Texas Twister have in common? Either way, your gonna loose everything
What proof have we that Wallstreet and Detroit were
in danger of collapse, in 2009? Merely the word of
beggars.
Upon the first breath of 2009, from board room to
board room, from bank to mortgage house to credit
company to dealership, the murmurs were spoke that
the Most Junior of Senators, newly promoted, with
the Most Junior of Auditors and Accountants, newly
appointed, were afoot in Washington, with soft hands
at the helm and a soft touch on the purse. All, so
easily moved by a quavering voice, a sad song of woe
and a teary eye, that any CEO so daring, could open
the hand on the purse and be lent moneys by the
buckets full. The word of the fools in the House so
White spread far and wide until the rush on the
treasury, became a stampede.
Now, to defend their treachery, the Keepers of the
Loose Purse parade before us as if heroes who stared
down the wolf at the door, rather than rubes who
fell for the carney at the vault. And where of the
moneys they so readily lent? So desperate were the
beggars of Wallstreet and Detroit that the first
billions paid were not to the wolves at the door,
nor the creditor at the window, but to the manager
on the bonus, and the CEO on the yacht. Our money by
the trillions, cast upon the wind, to no account,
save those of braggerts, eager for another hand in
the till.
Why would the wolves of Wallstreet and Detroit
defend the fools in the Whitehouse? If you had a
Soft Touch in the Oval Office, wouldn't you want him
re-elected?
And of the Most Junior Senator and his most Junior
Accountants, who trumpet themselves the heroes of
Wallstreet and Detroit? They parade before us,
wearing their deceit like medals won on an actual
field of battle! They wave their ignorance like
ribbons before an adoring throng of fools.
Still, I got to give credit where credit is due.
Democrats, and none better than Barack Obama, sell
sh!t for chocolate better than anyone alive. They
can wrap it like candy, I guess it don't hurt to
look at it, and with enough perfume and chemicals,
it probably won't hurt to smell it, but I wouldn't
eat it.
What I said. Damn website gets caught in a
liberal loop everytime I try to post.
What joy? I am still depressed at learning how Obama suffered as a young man picking dumpsters for furniture, while driving around in his rusted out car with tight shoes. Actually I know that priviledged private prep school kids and ivy leage students don't live that life. And they both worked in a lawfirm that payed them well at the time. What a load of crap!!! If you have to fake your life, it makes it easy to fake being a leader.
