Clinton legacy is a blue dress. And that legacy is, indeed, pretty enduring.
I was reminded of this when I was in a record store the other day. They have tons of political propganda there, and among it was a book or something with a cover showing Clinton, W and Cheney, and under their names and caricatures the title "The Good (Clinton), the Bad (Bush) and the Ugly (Cheney)".
I tried so hard to figure out what rock-listening libs could consider so "good" about Clinton. I looked around at the customers (I'm 40, and wasn't the oldest person in the place), and wondered what, exactly, the serious and honest ones among them could consider GOOD about Bill Clinton.
I STILL can't figure it out. I'm not looking for jokes or sarcasm, I'm looking for what serious libs think was good about the Clinton presidency.
he fought for abortion!
But that's not really something liberals bring up when I've discussed this issue with them--it was just kind of THERE, you know? Abortion as a political issue laid low during the nineties, and I've yet to hear a lib tell me abortion is one of the issues that made Clinton a great president. (Although when columnists have to write Clinton-praising columns, they ruminate for awhile and abortion comes up.)
No, you're right. But they'll couch that as "womens' rights." He was such a great champion of that, don't you know! The Left is masterful at Orwellian euphemisms.
More than once I've told one of these liberal women "You just like Clinton because you think he's cute." Try it sometime--the reactions are interesting.
Oh believe me, I never let the feminazis sweep their hypocrisy under the rug, claiming to be there for women, while destroying the lives of Paula Jones and Juanita Broaderrick in defense of their molester. As I stated a few weeks ago on the Republic of Utica, had Mary Jo Kopechne somehow floated to the surface at Chappaquidick and been revived, the feminists no doubt would have destryed her life too.
GREAT point.
Feminists are forever bemoaning how women are "attacking" each other, and yet they can't even admit they aren't for "equality for women" but for equality for LIBERAL women.
If Condi Rice were a liberal, working for a democrat, we'd all be sick of the nonstop coverage of her, the fawning over her. When I saw Mad Albright's new book about "religion in government" or whatever, I just had to laugh; if Rice put out such a book, she'd be attacked 24/7.
Hillary could argue that it helped keep abortion, "safe, legal and rare." So it's easy to see how liberals think Bill Clinton helped the cause.
As well I do.
"If Condi Rice were a liberal, working for a democrat, we'd all be sick of the nonstop coverage of her..."
My feminazi sister-in-law HATES Condi. I say "how can you hate this extremely successful, PHD, multi-lingual, concert pianist, etc. etc. She's everything you should love?"
All I get is a stare. Unbelievable.

What I really hate is when lily white Liberals, most of whom don't even know any black people, call her things like "house nigger." The Birmingham church bombing of 1963 killed four little girls, her good friends. I think I'd punch a Lib who said such a thing in front of me.
I hear you. Infuriating.
Another reason: he CAAAAAARRRRRRREES, don't ya know.
China gets our missle technology,North Korea gets our nuclear technology and we the people beside getting the largest tax increase in US history get the famous phrase "it depends what the definition of is....is".No question Bill Clinton's a giant,as to a giant what? you fill in the blank !!!
Don't forget their howling like stuck pigs over the Persing missle deployment in Europe. That was going to start WWIII vs the clinton cruise missle attacks..ah the ones outside the oval office.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
bttt
Anyone with the sense of a pissant KNOWS what kind of president Clintoon was and what a corrupt administration he had....but there are those with no sense at all that will believe anything the lamestream media, the Hollywood left, the liberal minded, and the leaders of all the oppressed countries around the world tell them......hey, this guy was a good President. It's that segment of our society that believe this crap and even sadder......they vote!
I see the remedy in getting their voting rights reviewed for the reason of mental incompetency.
