With the shooting down of a very qualified judge named Priscilla Owens, the party of the RATS had taken partisanship to a new level of low. How did we get here?
The answer is very clear -- we got here because of William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, impreached former president.
Like many of you, I used to have Democratic friends. We got along. We were able to have civil arguments. Clinton changed all that. I only have few left, and they really don't have my respect.
Some of us saw it coming fairly early, but it really crystalized after the OKC bombing. Clinton was being called almost irrelevant, even by some in the major news media. After OKC, however, he blatantly seized on a cynical plan to divide us even further. He and his evil wife created the so-called Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
The Clintons forced people to choose sides. You had to stay with him no matter what or the dreaded right wing would do awful things to this country. They would starve children. They would throw old people in the street where they would be forced to eat dog food. They would poison the air and water. They would end Social Security.
The RATS dug in their heels and stood by him no matter what. They excused perjury. They excused taking 900K from Bernie Scwartz who escaped being indicted for selling our missile technology. They excused subornation of perjury. They excused creating a hostile work environment in which sexual favors were rewarded. They excused hiding documents under subpoena. They accepted a dead body and a raid on his office to remove documents.
And they accepted sexual assault. Yes, they accepted the rape of Juanita Broaddrick. They would listen to nothing because they already had too much invested. They couldn't turn back. It is like a kid who starts lying and the lie gets more and more complicated and serious. He just can't tell the truth and let the whole thing unravel.
Who was to blame? It was the dreaded right wing. If we got Clinton, there is no telling what we would do.
Well, Clinton made it through 8 long, long, excruciating painful years. He got to keep his job and he paid only a small price. He was disbarred and fined. So what. He makes millions on speeches.
If Clinton actually cared about this country, he would do something to end the partisan hatred that is like nothing modern America has ever seen.
If Clinton had any character left, he would admit what he has done. Among other things, he would offer an apology to Juanita Broaddrick for brutally raping her and he would seek serious psychiatric help. His RAT minions would certainly forgive him because, after all, he was sick and it wasn't his fault.
What the admission would do is end some of the bitterness and some of the partisanship. The RATS could no longer keep putting out the lies that the VRWC was out to get their guy. McAuliffe would try to spin it, but after the admission he would finally be thrown out into the street.
Americans everywhere would realize that the political hatred was caused by Clinton. It would mean a generation of bad times for the RAT party. And there is the rub. Clinton can never admit the truth because his pals would lose power. They would be unable to sustain the lies. They would be unable the demonize the right wing.
Maybe on his deathbed Clinton will have a change of heart. Maybe he will admit what he did to Eileen Wellstone, to the young woman at Yale, to the unnamed woman during his first term as Governor, to Paula Jones, to Kathleen Willey, and to Juanita Broaddrick. Maybe he will ask God and the victims for forgiveness.
Maybe pigs will fly.
Perhaps. Maybe he will be saved. What then? Redemption for Bill Clinton. How would you react?
It's sad, but I think it's an undeniable fact: The Democratic Party is what it is today because after 12 years out of the White House, they were disorganized, disillusioned and ripe for a takeover. Which is exactly what Bill and Hillary did. They cleaned house and installed their own people, who installed THEIR own people, etc etc, turning the entire Party, from top to bottom, into a amoral, shameless, vicious power-gathering machine. Bill might be gone, but the DNC is still largely composed of those people. And until the grass roots of the Democratic party throw those criminals out entirely, there is no way we'll ever be able to go back to the Good Old Days. They created this hyperpartisanship, and only they can undo it. Until then, we should just take advantage of it, because more and more people are waking up to the Democrats' overall intellectual and moral legitimacy every single day. The sooner we make them implode in a huge wave of internal backstabbing, the sooner they'll be forced to bring in people of principle and save themselves.
If I recall correctly, when Bill Clinton raped Broaddrick, he was the attorney general of Arkansas. Which kind of made him "the authorities", n'est-ce pas?
Unless the state attorney general isn't the top law enforcement official in the state. Help me out here, butthead. Who is a state's top law enforcement official?
Butt don't confuse your ignorant self with the facts, TMP. Carry on. ;-)
When Sinkmaster dropped trow on Paula, who was she supposed to tell? The Governor? The trooper outside the door who brought her to the room?
My apologies: I unintentionally wrote the above in a way that sounds far too innocent. The Clintons didn't clean house, they simply forced out everyone en masse so they could install their cronies, whether said cronies could fulfill any of the requirements of their jobs or not. To the Clintons, anyone could fill any position as long as: 1) They didn't make Bill or Hillary look bad, or 2) They would fall on their sword for either one at any time if necessary to boost poll numbers, "wag the dog" on a breaking scandal, etc.
Denied by Clinton's lawyer, not Clinton.
And said lawyer could have filed any number of civil lawsuits against a false claimant....
But I guess Clinton's mouthpieces have been too busy since then to take care of THAT particular little piece of business... (***snicker***) ;-)
Thanks! It would have been better, though, if I hadn't screwed this line up:
Until then, we should just take advantage of it, because more and more people are waking up to the Democrats' overall intellectual and moral legitimacy every single day.Obviously I meant to type illegitimacy and/or bankrupcy.
ARGH! Bankruptcy! This isn't my night.
