25. Back to the left abandoning Clinton thread...
Edited on Tue Jun-15-04 10:57 AM by DoktorGreg
I remeber watching CSPAN in the 92-96 period. I specifically remember the gay community being absolutely outraged (outraged I say!) over the "Dont ask, Dont Tell" thing. That compromise wasn't good enough for them. They wanted the right to be flaming homosexual soldiers, and anything less than that was total defeat.

Also the health care liberals, felt totally betrayed (and caused its failure) that GASP! They had to pay for Healthcare still under the Clinton plan.

After that, NOW and Patricia Ireland turned on Clinton because he, exercised CHOICE, took advantage of poor Monica Lewinsky. Even worse, for the NOW liberals, Clinton thought abortion should be rare.

And it went on and on like that for eight years. Nothing Clinton Ever did was good enough for the liberal groups. You know who you are! I specifically remember you guys getting all angry and twisted when Clinton had the temerity to save the day in Kosovo.

Yes, there was a right wing echo chamber. Yes they said awful things. But their effect was only amplified by the left who abandoned Clinton every chance they got. The result has been the total destruction of the constitution, and probably long term imperilment of our country.

And here we are again. Kerry has a full blown crisis to deal with, but he isnt addressing your specific liberal cause with the strongest language possible. Not good enough for you, you would rather have Bush.



On Edit, Parent thread this isnt directed at you, its more directed at Liberals in general.
