Edited on Sun May-27-07 06:28 PM by wyldwolf
Al Gore was groomed to be president from the time he sat on Richard Nixon's lap. John Kerry had a lifelong ambition to reach the oval office.

Is it that the Clinton's have been more successful in their pursuits? Is this a case of the bar of what is acceptable to some being set just above where the Clinton's can reach?

6. People from the common herd are not permitted ambition.
People in private schools are expected to go on to great things. Does that clarify it for you?

Because the Clintons come from common stock, they should stay on the farm.

7. Hey, Rush Limbaugh has been grooming people to hate the Clintons for years.
Obviously, many here have been taking notes. I'm sure they read Bay Buchanan and listen to Newt Gingrich, as well.

13. what it's about is people see the Clintons as selfish and only concerned with their own
pursuits over other things. some examples like DOMA , the Sista Souljah thing, welfare reform, are seen as them selling out communities in order to benefit themselves.

Democrats lost Congress under Clinton also .

Gore and Kerry are seen as doing positive things regardless of any Presidential run. Bill Clinton hanging out with Pappy Bush is seen as another case of selling out. why not Jimmy Carter ?

some of the criticisms are unfair. but just telling you isn't not a simple case of people being angry that anyone wants to be President in itself.

14. Got me
:shrug:

I guess the one question that the story begs is,were they so ambitious that they only cared about reaching that goal to the detriment of anything else.It's possible,but I'm not taking this guy's word for it,because it's equally possible (actually,more probable) that this guy is full of shit.

The MSM is already eating this stuff up though,so be ready.
