TWO PRESIDENT CLINTON-dramas in the white house AT THE SAME TIME?


seriously, no joke: what percentage of americans would vote to put TWO PRESIDENT CLINTON-dramas back in the white house AT THE SAME TIME?

i happily voted TWICE for bill clinton, but these are NOT THE SAME CLINTONS!

every other day theres another clinton-drama -- and even if some of the dramas are blown out of proportion by the media, or republicans, or disaffected democrats, et. al., still, the clintons have a shadowy, almost creepy "plausible-denial" mentality which makes them seem more shady than they probably are (and maybe theyre not so bad as human beings, and they also have done many laudable things); but they have a "cover-up" reflex which has corroded any political credibility.

i couldnt care less about the monica lewinsky scandal, and frankly, after all bill's other sex scandals, e.g., gennifer flowers, paula jones, et. al. -- i really dont care about peoples personal lives if it's among consenting adults, and doesnt impair their productivity, or hurt anyone.

but instead of just "coming clean" -- the clintons have become so afraid of being accused of getting caught with their hands in political and personal cookie-jars -- that they delay, divide, and deny, in the hopes of wearing out their perpetual opposition.

it's not that theyre bad people, but they use tactics that make them *seem* guilty about just about everything they touch -- using abstruse rationalizations, rather than simple mea culpas.

the clintons have given much good to american democracy, but each day, things like hillary's high-dollar corporate speech cover-up, (among other self-inflicted dramas) makes the clintons seem more and more psycho-pathologically nixonian.

i believe this country is toxified by the clintons daily dramas and baggage, not because theyve done anything so bad -- but because the system itself has warped and corroded their moral, political, economic psyches and judgment.

over decades,the pragmatism of the clintons has slowly encassed them in a global media bubble of constant suspicion, justified or not

i just believe that two president clinton-dramas back in the white house, would make the current gridlock seem like playtime

the clintons are the symptoms, NOT THE CAUSE -- but nearly everyone agrees that democracy is slowly grinding to a halt

the choice is yours, america

win or lose -- bernie's america -- of economic and cultural equality, rules!

They had me fooled. I didn't realize Hillary was a republican until she became a senator, and it was before Hillary turned into Kissinger.
