LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Former President Bill Clinton returned to his native Arkansas yesterday, saying Republicans were trying to drive a wedge through the American heartland with social issues.
    "Let's be frank about it. Out in the country, they are wearing us out with guns and gay marriage. It's a load of bull," said Mr. Clinton, who hasn't lived in the state since 1992 and moved to Chappaqua, N.Y., after leaving the White House in 2001.

"This election is not about guns and gay marriage," Mr. Clinton said. "It's about the economy, health care and the future of our children."
    Mr. Clinton was sidelined four years ago by Vice President Al Gore, whose campaign feared that the Monica Lewinsky scandal made Mr. Clinton an electoral liability.
    Mr. Bush won Arkansas in 2000, and an MSNBC-Knight Ridder poll of 625 likely Arkansas voters taken last week showed Mr. Bush with a 51 percent to 43 percent advantage with a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.

"This election is not about guns and gay marriage," Mr. Clinton said. "It's about the economy, health care and the future of our children."

Bull, Slick! It's about a war, dammit! And whether or not we're going to win it. Actually, whether or not we're going to even fight the sonuvabitch.

And the future of our children is vitally involved in that decision...

This election is not about guns and gay marriage," Mr. Clinton said. "It's about the economy, health care and the future of our children."

No actually its about terrorism (which you ignored while 'President')

Next it is about guns and marriage,-and those issues are the future of our children-

You can see the Democrats are getting some feedback on why they are doing so poorly, the gun issues and the marriage amendments.

People are going to vote on those three above-terrorism, guns and marriage

Take your health care back to Hillary.

It's about the economy, health care and the future of our children."

Caligula thinks it's still September 10th. September 10th, 1992.

Bubba is SOOOOO 20th century!!!

It's a load of bull," said Mr. Clinton,
You have to admit when it comes to bull, this man is an expert. But I doubt anything he will ever say for the rest of his life will be taken seriously. He is the biggest failure as an American president since King George III.

[dagnabbit]

This election is about whatever each individual voter thinks it's about. Sometimes that may be guns and gay marriage.

[GeronL]

It's about the economy, health care and the future of our children."

No its not. The economy is in recovery, so what? Kerry wants to raise taxes, that will not help the economy and more and more people know it.

Health care?? Nobody is talking about health care.

The future of our children?? One candidate wants to make them safe and the other wants them to be ruled from France.

Clinton criticizes social-issue wedge

This from the man who said "We can't give you your tax money back because you might not spend it right," and whose wife said that you could tell a person's social class by looking at their teeth.

"This election is not about guns and gay marriage," Mr. Clinton said. "It's about the economy, health care and the future of our children."

Former President Clinton doesn't even mention Afghanistan, Iraq and the rest of the war on terror? That so illustrates the main difference between the Democratic and Republican parties of today;President Bush is serious about protecting vital national interests, and they are serious about getting back into power, PERIOD! What good is the "economy and health care" if you're dead? The "future of our children" would be slavery or death by the sword if they have their way! President Clinton had eight years to get Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, but he didn't! All the has-been failures and ne'er-do-wells of the Democratic party (Clinton, Carter, Ramsey Clark, Gore, Jesse Jackson, Madelyn Albright, et al) should be quiet and let the president get back to protecting us and building a better future for this nation!!

Clinton is such a liar...If he'd met his National Security Adviser MORE times than he had Monica, and whoever else on their knees in the Oval office. He's one of the most self-centered SoB's walking, So much so that he helped contribute to 3,000 dead in his NEW home state of New York.

[Darkwolf377]

It seems that since his big comeback to the campaign, his superstar position has fallen. I think people are sick of him.

[Grut]

This election is not about guns and gay marriage...

Let the Democrats in and it will be.

Caligula thinks it's still September 10th. September 10th, 1992.

There's a plaque over my desk, too. It reads:

IT'S ABOUT THE WAR, STUPID.

[kcvl]

Clinton said: "Out in the country, they are wearing us out with guns and gay marriage".

Oh, that will certainly help Kerry. /sarcasm

[MarquetteCR1]

I think Clinton fails to realize that he IS the wedge issue.

[PeterPrinciple]

If we keep the guns and get rid of gay "marriage", the economy, health care and the future of our children will take care of itself.

[PeterPrinciple]

You have to admit when it comes to bull, this man is an expert.

An expert is defined as one who can correctly identify bullshit two out of three time.

[Brett66]

I guess if he wants a united country then the dems need to stop pushing gun control and gay marriage through rogue judges.
