Signing NAFTA, Telecommunications Act, and...
...an increase in the "war on drugs".

These are 3 big ones that I am having a very rough time forgiving Bill Clinton over.
I wish a reporter would ask Hillary where she stands on these.

How far away is the "apple from the tree"?

1. Considering they most likely discussed everything
relating to policy issues...I suspect Hillary shares these same values. She is no left winger that is for sure.

Don't forget "Defense" of marriage Act

Don't ask, Don't tell

The almost daily bombing of Iraq within the "no fly" zone

GATT

WTO

"Welfare" Reform

So many things that left winger Bill Clinton left us with.

6. Exactly...
I wonder if we'd had a really adequate President these last eight years if so many people would be as "wistful" as they are about HIS Presidency?

My guess is, not so much. Clinton's legacy was polished by the W legacy, and will remain so until history books weigh in on it.

3. Even more disconcerting is that ...
she's the front runnner, as his legacy. The reality of which is that America regressed enormously under the First Clinton Presidency. Noble liars both of them.

4. Hillary was single payer prior to formation of task force, NAFTA including more than
Edited on Mon Jun-25-07 07:42 AM by papau
trade was Bill and Hillary's position but the GOP and Rubin wanted trade only - GOP later caved and allowed Bill his side agreements but those have proven ineffective when you have a Bush in the Whitehouse.

5. double standard
Whenever someone states Hillary would turn the economy around like Bill did, the howler monkeys screech "Hillary isn't Bill."

But there doesn't seem to be a problems implying Hillary would continue policies you don't care for.

7. I totally agree
Wal Mart made huge gains because of trade agreements signed by Cliton (where is Clinton from again?). The domination of Conservative talk radio was worsened because of the telecommunications act. Clinton is outgoing and connects with people, but some of this bills that were passed were really bad.

8. DOMA, DADT and the WTO are my three big issues with Bill Clinton
And Rodham-Clinton looks to be worse.
