Why I'm Supporting Hillary Clinton For President 2008

[compuwiz1]

I don't like Hill and I don't like Bill, but there is no denying that the best, most recent years in our economy were under the Bill Clinton administration.

That said, I believe this is really a 3rd term for Bill, IF Hillary gets elected, BUT, there really are not any good options on the table, are there?

I mean, Ron Who is a joke. McCain will never make it. Romney is a Mormon and on that premise alone will not get elected. Huckabye baby is too irrelevant and Obama is a good candidate, but he's still black, and that is going to be an issue at the polls, sadly to say.

So, what "real" choices do we really have?

I believe, as much as I dislike the Clinton clan, that Hill will be our next President.

I can't tell if this is a parody. Don't blame me, my sarcasm meter is broken.

Evan, please read above. Any other thoughts?

This thread makes 100 percent good cents.
I agree.
After all if I wanted the Bush economy I would have to take the new Bush currency:

Sorry but this time there was no Reagan prior to Clinton taking office; thus giving Clinton the ability to take all the credit.

Topic Title: Why I'm Supporting Hillary Clinton For President 2008
Topic Summary: I want Bill's economy back!

Wanting Bill's economy back is a laudable goal but it will not happen no matter who is elected in 08. GWB&co. has screwed the economic pooch too badly and at best we will get a GHB type economy for the next four years. And after a decade or so of fiscal sanity, the US economy might be able to recover. But we need to raise taxes, cut deficit spending, and address the trade deficit.

Does that mean that you also want a Republican controlled congress? After all, Bill probably would have spent a lot more of our money if he didn't have to wrangle with the Republicans on spending bills.

The repubs have proven themselves bigger spenders than the dems, incredibly somehow. There is actually no denying the fact that, by far, the fiscally conservative party is the democrast. I mean wth but the numbers don't lie. THe dems will spend, but they will tax more appropriately to spend it. I'm against spending, but I am more against spending without taxes, that's just like using a credit card to buy a new car, which is what the repubs have proven they love to do.

I watched the debate and mccain was contrite about it all and seemed to pay more than basic lip service to the idea that his administration would try harder, which I thought at least was nice.

 

[EagleKeeper]

Remember that Bill's economy also created the stock market issues that occurred in '00-01

That crash coupled with 9/11 severly handicapped Bush's (potential) performance and completely sidetracked any plans that he may have had.

If you think Hillary can bring back the late 90's economy you really need to take an economics class.

Actually, it's one of the worst things that could happen to us.

LMFAO, and people like Compuwiz call Paul supporters nuts? This thread is about as crazy as they come.

 

[bamacre]

You have GOT to be kidding! Bill Clinton's economy? Bullshit. You should be thanking the private sector for that, and I mean, Windows 95, the Pentium I, and the birth of the internet. It is not difficult to understand what these things did not only for consumers, but for small and large businesses.

A rock could have presided over that economy.

No, you are the one who need to take some economics class to see how fiscal policies from the White house can affect the economy. While you are at it, read Greenspan's Age of Turbulence and see how Clinton is the one that worked most closely with him to get the economy going.

Yeah, thinking the current dem frontrunner could ever be pres? Certifiably insane. Clearly it's going to be the Republican candidate currently ranked 5th in national polls. Duh.

So tell me then expert, why did the economy begin to tank in late 1999 and especially in 2000.. while Bill was in Office... if he was still in control things should have been swell right?

 

[senseamp]

I agree. We need 8 more years of Clintons to clean up another Bush mess.

 

[nageov3t]

I felt a lot better about the state of our country and our future in the 90's... but I think it's a mistake to give any president too much credit for whatever the economy happens to do under their watch. their control over it is really overestimated.

 

[rudder]

I will vote for Hillary because my neighbor is too stupid to know how to save college money for his soon to be new child. With Hillary in office at least he can get $5000 for his child's expenses.


(Disclaimer: I know this idea was shot down... but I gather this is more of what we could expect from Hillary)

 

[ranmaniac]

Wow, the OP is completely spineless and with no convictions, a perfect Hillary supporter!

That's what people thought when they voted for W.

This is just as funny as giving Clinton credit for the good economy.
