I am SICK of the F'Ing Repukes on the tube whining about Clinton!
Why are these idiots the only ones whining about Clinton stealing Kerry's thunder as he starts his book tour? Why? The only people talking about it are stupid conservative talking head pundits on MSNBC (Scarbrough now), CNN and probably Fox. Every day I keep hearing the same crap!

It's not goanna happen but if for whatever reason it does, WHY IN THE HELL ARE REPUKES WHINING ABOUT IT?!?!?!?!

1. My guess...
...trying to create an echo effect. So that the "liberal" media starts discussing the possibility that President Clinton's book tour will be taking the spotlight from Kerry.

It will take the attention away from Kerry for a while, IMHO. Doesn't mean it's bad, though.

Maybe they are trying to bring Kerry down by associating him with Clinton.
I had a feeling that that's why they started bringing Clinton up when Clark announced, because they were desperate to find something to bring him down with or keep right-wingers from voting for him.

But then that begs the question, why do they think the general public disapproves of Clinton as much as they do? Clinton was a popular president!

8. That is exactly what they are doing
As soon as Clark began talking of running, the RW media loudmouths began a chorus of Clark being the Clinton's boy, with no evidence whatsoever.
They saw what a tremendous danger a Four Star General would be to their Air Natl. Guard Fly Boy.

I think they are trying to smear Kerry in any way possible. And now they get to smear Clinton too.

14. Idea - why don't we bring up Newt Gingrich all the time?
You really don't hear that much about him anymore. Plus he actually was unpopular toward the end.

10. Clinto? Popular?
Clinton cannot possibly be popular. Or liked. Or anyone want anything to do with him. After all: HE GOT HIS DICK SUCKED ON! How terribly shocking.

12. He got more popular because of that.
People get angry about the Arkansas Project, and while I agree it was dirty, I guess I don't get that angry in the big picture because the impeachment attempt just made him more popular, and probably contributed to a lot of Republicans getting voted out of congress in the 1998 election!

Ups, downs of presidential popularity - On the Record - Brief Article



Astonishingly, Bill Clinton's popularity broke the 70 percent mark only once: right after he was impeached by the House of Representatives, when he registered 73 percent. Throughout his second term in office, despite the Lewinsky scandal, Clinton's ratings were good and remarkably stable, averaging in the low 60s --

21. That's another thing....
The repukes continue to say that the general public disapproved of Clinton's behavior but fail to say that the majority of the public wanted the impeachment crapola to end. Scarbrough (Buchanan subed) had on David Bossie (sp?) with his usual Clinton bashing and Bossie said that the public disappoves of Clinton and Bossie's book blames Clinton for 9/11.

3. Their world revolves around love of Bush. They
don't have anything good to say about their president, so they distract themselves with tales and scandals and lies about a real President.

5. Let 'em whine!
There mere mention of the name "Bill Clinton" is another clove of garlic peeled and employed against the vampiric Bush Coven.

John Kerry's got a silver-alloy bullet ... and he's been practicin' with the cheap ammo in the badlands on a bunch of old bottles and tin cans ...

6. It's been four years. . . they need to let it go
But they can't because Bush is fucking up so badly and they want to try and re-energize their base and make them forget about just how badly Shrubbie is fucking up and the only way to do that is bring up the Big Dog & Hillary. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. But they need to remember that payback's a bitch! :crazy:

24. I agree. They are probably talking a lot about Clinton
just so America and the world can forget that Bush* is a fuckup. But it won't work!

7. Well get ready for more
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 09:49 PM by LiviaOlivia
With Clinton's book about ready to come out and the Big Dog hits the
book tour road, we can count on the repukes to yak, yak, yak.
A diversion from the Chimp's fuck-ups and crimes.

9. Create division in the Dem Party
Some of us have been trying to tell people around here that that's what's going on and to stop repeating their bullshit, but what do we know. :shrug:

15. Same thing they did with Hillary...
Hannity spent months talking about Hillary running and two-timing Clark for the '04 election. These people wouldn't know a fact if it walked up and slapped them in the face.

17. GOOD!!!
The more they talk about Big Dog the more people will realize how bad shrub's record really is----Let's see, we tried to impeach Big Dog over a hummer in the West Wing---Now look what we have in the West Wing---OH MY GOD!!!! LOOK WHAT WE HAVE IN THE WEST WING!!!! Sort of a free association type thing. Our Party can only come out looking better by comparison. If our Party looks good, Kerry looks good as our candidate. Even out of office, Big Dog just keeps giving and giving and giving.

23. Don't forget "The Hunting of a President" is coming out in the next few
weeks. This will also remind people of the witchhunt that the Republicans conducted in the late 90s.....instead of dealing with the gathering threat of terror.

Now that the Republicans have control of all major branches of government, the American people are getting a taste of what real corruptness and incompetence is all about.

29. They don't want people to compare Clinton with Bush
and by extension a Dem Pres with a Repug Pres, because when people are reminded about the Clinton years, the Bush Presidency is going to look like the evil crap that it is.

So they are trying to spin spin spin that this is about Cllinton vs Kerry.
