the whole bush takeover started with the impeachment trial
think about how much was made over Gore distancing himself from clinton after the impeachment. That was the start to make him look weaker...



they had this planned way before 2000

1. You mean the attempted Republicon coup against the American people?

The Republicon Power Grab of 1998?

Of course it did.

2. They did it by buying up control of most broadcast media in the 80s & 90s
and impeaching Clinton for NOTHING was their first big maneuver. Even the silver-tongued Clinton could not stop the media onslaught against him that forced impeachment through.

3. I have always looked back to the Contract on America and
Newt Gingrich as the start of the fall of America.
That point in time signaled the increased attacks on Clinton and the downright criminal smearing of opponents by the republican party.

I am curious, dose anyone think that KKKarl Rove may have had any contact with Lewinsky or the other fat pig that was her "friend." Could they have started that far back with KKKarls dirty tricks?

4. It wouldn't surprise me
if KKKarl had contact with Luciane Goldberg (Lewinsky's "friend") and her cohorts at the Heritage Foundation. Plus you KNOW his slimey fingers were all over the Paula Jones case and the disgusting characters that rode that train to Impeachment. 100 years from now people will shake their heads as they read their History books and wonder how we ever let this happen.

6. Contract on America is pretty much where I had it dated back to
also. Old Newtie is a horrible person.

7. If you're going to "date it back," you have to go to the Powell Memo...
...which the Extreme Court Justass wrote after Goldwater failed. I thought the OP was referring in immediate terms to the Bush** takeover.
