No! That's unpossible! It can't be true that a career politician would take advantage of people for personal gain!

I can't wait until the Fark submission in 2020 that tells us W started a war in Iraq that he could not afford to fight.

So to translate this from idiot to english for our smarter farkers: "It's completely ok to spend irresponsibly and lie and give corporate welfare for our cronies as long as the the Official in question is a member of the Democrat party"

I'd prefer politicians who weren't crooks but then again I also prefer not to date family members.

If you look at his profile, it says he is from Florida. I think that should just about clear everything up

The number of African Americans in prison in this country went from under 100,000 to over 1 million because of Bill Clinton. Plenty of intelligent people knew before this election that the Clintons would throw black people under the bus faster than Lani Guinier

Just now?

When Obama started looking like a top-tier candidate in mid-2007, black support of Hillary started to waiver. But after Bill's South Carolina remarks, the deal was sealed. The Clinton's lost the black vote. Clyburn's actually from South Carolina -- this was an incredibly safe move on his part. Any exit poll of the contests so far will tell you that.

If this is going to be a Bush bashing thread let's at least make it a bit more accurate.

Did anyone jump in and mention 9/11 is Bill Clinton's fault?

Any old farkers still hatin on Truman for Korea?

Let me be the first to say that Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus too.

Anyone see that video where Jimmy Carter admits he had no idea there were conflicts around the world while he was president?

Has there been a sexy debate over who was worse Johnson for Vietnam or Nixon for lying?

Once again I'm glad that liberals have figured out the truth about Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. It's alright, we tried to warn you 15 years ago.

We told you so.

I asked POAC in the other thread if he would pledge to punch Patty Judge in her stupid head, but he didn't respond to my inane and inappropriate question.

Why can't POAC close the deal?

Not that I agree with everything else, but I have to quibble with:

Let me be the first to say that Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus too.

Bush didn't suspend Habeas Corpus. He just acted like he did.

What Lincoln did was say, in writing, "I officially suspend habeas corpus in the following states." Bush never did that.

And that's important, because when the Civil War was over, habeas corpus was reinstated. But you can't reinstate habeas corpus now, because it was never officially suspended.

Gee, for 18+ years, the right villianized the Clintons, and when they start acting like it, the right jumps up "see see see?"

Shut up. You did this to them.

I don't buy self-fulfilling prophecy in this case because I don't think the Clintons are as bad as the right ever made out.

They are just slick politicians like all the other ones. No they didn't kill Vince Foster, nor are they the collective Anti-Christ. They are both smarter than George W.

So the Clintons never did anything wrong until recently? Wow! Brainwashed you are.

I'm guessing you bought into the "Vast Rightwing Conspiracy" crap too. You are exactly what the Democrat Party loves. Mindless followers.

Just as a reminder... America never actually liked Bill Clinton. Anyone remember that guy with the big ears in 1992? A larger percentage of the population affirmatively supported Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, Bush Jr. (either time), Gerry Ford, or Adlai Stevenson than affirmatively supported Bill Clinton in 1992. This was reflected in the 1994 bloodbath. Clinton was incumbent after years of peace and prosperity and didn't even manage a majority vote of confidence after that.

What a speciout arguement.
It's funny how the more criminals are locked up, the lower the crime statistics drop.

And Lani Guiner got what she deserved for her azzhat ideas.

So what has Obama done? I'm curious to see some actual facts about this where he isn't responding to an attack on him. do you have any?

No, haven't you been listening to the Clintons?

Black votes just "don't count", they aren't "real people".

(and the white people in the 95% white states Obama won are a figment of everyones imagination)

And remember "Broad coalition" = Poor Blue collar whites.
