THIS is why Bill Clinton was Elected ...Can I shout LOUDER?
Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 07:03 PM by KoKo01
Listen and WEEP for the PROMISE! Listen and Understand ALL THOSE WHO'VE GONE BEFORE...who TRIED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE...and how we are BACK to Square One. ALL HAS BEEN BEFORE.. We live through "Ground Hog Day" (the Movie) over and over and over and over and over and over........ad nauseum.

On Edit: This is a GIFT TO YOU FROM THE PAST...You won't be sorry if you listen unless you are so brain dead that HISTORY...has no presence in your thoughts about DEMOCRACY & and HOPE for those who SUFFER and those who WANT the Promise of AMERICA...to survive. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO..these words were spoken at the Democratic Convention that NOMINATED BILL CLINTON! The Promise of America after BUSH I....these words ring true TODAY! When Hillary is running. THESE WORDS ARE WHAT MOST OF US ON "DU" ARE HERE FOR!!!

5. When people realize that its not only one party thats the mafia...
then America will be a better place. Until then we listen to the games back and forth like we are watching WWE wrestling. Its a game that they are winning and the people are losing. There are allot of intelligent people in this country that truly feel they have a grip on the political system but most of them don't have the common sense to see what is really taking place. This is why it will continue and our government will continue to ignore the peoples voices and keep the wealthy, wealthy and the powerful, in power.

9. sorry but there is no back and forth.. they own the media and do not allow us to speak.. when they
let a real Democrat on they dont let them speak freely they interrupt and put word in their mouth.. and propagandize during the interview.. just like the interview with nancy P last night... it was a pathetic attempt by wolfie to demean and insult and lie and deny the truth..

6. Since I've been on DU ...I've been critisized for this...could you just ignore and watch the
YOU TUBE? Why is it that you have a problem with "FULL CAPS" if one is desperately trying to get one's point across? If the "full caps" annoy you..why do you have to speak about it? Why not just hit the button for "Ignore" for me. ?????

17. because of Seinfeld's use of the term as in his "Soup Nazi' it has become colloquial,
meaning, neurotic and unconditionally obsessive compulsive intolerant over the top control freakn out over bullshit nonsence, it draws a picture of a troubled person dedicated to making other people's lives a misery... over things no body else gives a rats ass about

16. What happens when unresolved scandals take a back seat to a domestic agenda?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2706117

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2006/111106.html

My book, Secrecy & Privilege, opens with a scene in spring 1994 when a guest at a White House social event asks Bill Clinton why his administration didn’t pursue unresolved scandals from the Reagan-Bush era, such as the Iraqgate secret support for Saddam Hussein’s government and clandestine arms shipments to Iran.

Clinton responds to the questions from the guest, documentary filmmaker Stuart Sender, by saying, in effect, that those historical questions had to take a back seat to Clinton’s domestic agenda and his desire for greater bipartisanship with the Republicans.

Clinton “didn’t feel that it was a good idea to pursue these investigations because he was going to have to work with these people,” Sender told me in an interview. “He was going to try to work with these guys, compromise, build working relationships.”

Clinton’s relatively low regard for the value of truth and accountability is relevant again today because other centrist Democrats are urging their party to give George W. Bush’s administration a similar pass if the Democrats win one or both houses of Congress.

Reporting about a booklet issued by the Progressive Policy Institute, a think tank of the Democratic Leadership Council, the Washington Post wrote, “these centrist Democrats … warned against calls to launch investigations into past administration decisions if Democrats gain control of the House or Senate in the November elections.”

19. Why did Bill get elected?
Easy answer--2 words--Ross Perot. WIthout Ross it is doubtful Bill would have ever been president--Bill didnt even carry 50% of the vote.
