Wow, I wonder why his handlers don't tell him he should not hold them. I wonder if he has any idea how he comes across like a 4th grader. I mean I actually feel sorry for him.

I saw the press conference also djv and concur.

Keith Oberman and the late night shows could have a field day with it if they so choose.

The guy's just an idiot. One of the reporters asked him his opinion on deep throat and he says some crap like, 'I stopped watching porn when I quit the coke, but Linda Lovelace was a fine actress.' Unbelieveable.

but on the positive side he is consistant==don't have to remember what he said a month ago and be caught flip flpopping if public opinion changes--- have yet to hear him say "depends on what "it" means--hasn't had half his cabinet indicted on charges--can't do any searches on Bush-gates and come of with 23 pages--position hasn't changed since 1st elected--unlike some who roll their eyes when he gave speech on invading Iraq but now when they see security cost dems election they try to move to center and grow hawk feathers.

I'll take non articulate speaker who stands by his convictions any day--vs a do nothing articulate lieing convicted felon.
--plus it is somewhat funny to listen to his speaking errors--got boring listening to "I don't recall" some 200 plus times from the last 1st family--however do miss the finger wave, scowls and pray for me Jessie :)

I can agree that he?s consistent.

And the fact that he never waffles . . . besides on issues like same-sex marriage, free trade, campaign finance reform, weapons of mass destruction, nation-building, the 9/11 commission . . . He?s just absolutely resolute.

Of course, I don?t fault him for changing his mind, it?s what thinking men do.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Maybe he's smarter than we give him credit for--if he is in fact as some have conveyed he and his cabinet has yet to even scratch the surface of Clinton corruption.

ADMINISTRATION RECORDS SET
- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad

Number of congressional witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment, fled the country to avoid testifying, or (in the case of foreign witnesses) refused to be interviewed: 124
- Number of times Hillary Clinton said "I don't recall" or its equivalent in a statement to a House investigating committee: 50
- Number of paragraphs in this statement: 42
- Number of times Bill Clinton said "I don't recall" or its equivalent in the released portions of the his testimony on Paula Jones: 271
- Total number of facts or events not recalled before official bodies by Bill Kennedy, Harold Ickes, Ricki Seidman, Bruce Lindsey, Bill Burton, Mark Gearan, Mack McLarty, Neil Eggleston, John Podesta, Jennifer O'Connor, Dwight Holton, Patsy Thomasson, Jeff Eller, Beth Nolan, Cliff Sloan, Bernard Nussbaum, George Stephanopoulous, Roy Neel, Rahm Emanuel, Maggie Williams, David Tarbell, Susan Thomases, Webster Hubbell, Roger Altman, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton: 6,125
- Average occurrence of memory lapse by top administration figures while before official bodies: 235
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
but everything comes at a price-----:)

POLITICAL FALL-OUT
- According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Democrats held a 1,542 seat lead in the state bodies in 1990. As of November 2000 that lead had shrunk to 288. That's a loss of over 1,200 state legislative seats, nearly all of them under Clinton. Across the US, the Democrats controlled only 65 more state senate seats than the Republicans.


Further, in 1992, the Democrats controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After November, the Republicans control one more than the Democrats. Not only was this a loss of 9 legislatures under Clinton, but it was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968).


Here's what happened to the Democrats under Clinton:


- GOP seats gained in House since Clinton became president: 48
- GOP seats gained in Senate since Clinton became president: 8
- GOP governorships gained since Clinton became president: 11
- GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president: 1,254
as of 1998
- State legislatures taken over by GOP since Clinton became president: 9
- Democrat officeholders who have become Republicans since Clinton became
president: 439 as of 1998
- Republican officeholders who have become Democrats since Clinton became president: 3

Nixon was like a kid getting caught in a cookie jar compared to most of the crooks before him and after him. He was incredibly unlucky and his total lack of charisma did him in. Many before and all since make him look like an Eagle Scout.

ooooops, I think I just entered moveon.org's website by mistake.

LOL Bush Liberates 50 million people and he gets critisized for speaking ability. Sorry liberals if he doesnt act like a used car salesman like Al Gore. At least Republicans walk the walk. Ummm....what exactly was flip flopper Kerry's plan on fighting terror anyways??? ............I've asked a million times in this exact politics chatboard and to this day nobody knows. Not even John Kerry...the man "reporting for duty" LOL....what a jackassss :mj07:

Once again the angry liberals complaining, critisizing, and pointing fingers. lol

Never a plan. Never anything positive out of these morons. No patriotism. No support for our troops. No agenda. No ideas or solutions. No leadership. Only complaining and crying and pointing fingers. 24/7

Keep it up liberals :clap: This is why your democratic party has spun so far down the toilet. Howard Dean is your leader?!!!!!!!!!!!! :mj07: :clap:

This is why you crybabies keep losing elections. America doesn't like fingerpointing crybabies.

Again, keep it up. Daily whining and complaining and blaming. :clap:

12,000 dead in 18 months by terrorists

but you ignore the fact that Saddam killed over 400,000 of his own people. (Count the mass graves)

by the way....It's called a war moron what do you expect? It's easy for you to critisize our leaders when you know nothing about the topic in the first place.

An entire new country is forming with an entirely new government.

We all want the war to end but you liberals are like the whining kid in the back seat ..."are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet??"

Here's a cookie now shut the hell up.
