Oh the ignorance you say. What i posted above are verifiable facts. most of what you post is inuendo or unsubstatiated smear material.
2. he was fined 800k for obstructing justice.
ah yes, after spending millions and wasting incredible amounts of time and man power they had to get something out of it. 800k for lying about sex. good job!
8. He allegedly raped a woman who an FBI interrogator interviewed and deemed to have a credible testimony.
if it was so credible, i don't see why nothing was done. unless there was some "conspiracy". more likely a politically motivated report that had insufficient evidence but tried to throw things into a bad light. remember that this woman denied it in an affidavit during paula jones trial.
11. vince foster's mysterious suicide
right, and you can stick that one in the same book that claims why we never went to the moon. no evidence, just right wing nut cases railing endlessly on talkshows.. say it enough and it must be true. it must be true..
14. Web Hubbell
ah yes another dead end. the witch hunters couldn't even keep their own facts straight during the investigations. transcripts of hubbell tapes released did not match and were rewritten to connote wrong doing. This was more of a scandle for the republicans who had to fire burton who got caught red handed. not to mention that hubbell actually stole from hilary and other clients at the rose law firm. in the end.. nothing again.
4. His 96 campaign accepted illegal donations from communist china.
and what came of that? nothing again, they searched hi and low trying to find how this fit into a traiterous conspiracy, but alas.. a another waste of tax payers money. nothing more then republicans trying to feed off anti-asian nativism for political gains.
1. Leaving out the fact that Clinton settled a sexual harassment suit...
thats right, paula jones settled for money. makes you wonder how someone that was damaged and out for justice could lay down her arms and run off with a little money. She was a pawn of the rightwing which used her to lauch their investigation spree. She made off with what she could before she would be submitted to further scruitiny and possibly get nothing at all. After all, she had done her job, smear done, investigation begun. btw, her husband divorced her soon after.
3. He was impeached. 15. His wag the dog maneuver during impeachment.
right, for what? LYING UNDER OATH ABOUT SEX. and he was aquitted. So the republicans spent millions of my tax money to smear their political enemy over something trivial, how quaint. they also hindered the ability of the administration to function, which is good for me as an american. All the things they could have done in the fight against terrorism could never happen because of the enviroment that was created. Any military action became a wag the dog scenario. Who knows, if this had never happened maybe there would have been no september 11. You might say its a stretch, but you can't deny that the republicans did slow any progress we were making. btw nixon never got to be impeached because he resigned to hide from his imminent conviction.
13. Accepting illegal contributions from nuns at a buddhist temple.
their case was so strong that nothing came of it .. again. the absurd notion that gore was wasting his time sneaking around setting up complex webs of diceit with buddhist nuns is at best laughable.
6. After he was elected the energy department mysteriously stopped background checks on Chinese and Russian scientists visiting nuclear labs. Doing this knowing full well of past investigations still being opened regarding espionage.
back it up, and show which officials did this and who put them there. the right wing press likes to promote the idea that we were losing all our secrets to china thanx to clinton which is a total crock. if they had any evidence at all they would be justified in demanding the impeachment of the president and vice president for high treason and have rejected the establishment of permanent trading benefits for china, but nooo!! they had ziltch, only enough for national inquirer style attacks, which were good enough for them as always.
10. filegate
the republicans had control of congress, they touted in public only.. so whats your point? the only information that got to the public quickly were things like the starr report.
5. His administration fired seven career employees from the travel office after his 92 victory and falsely accused them of mishandling money... only to replace them with political favorites of theirs. Otherwise known as travelgate.
as with the other gates the independent council admitted that there was no evidence to support criminal prosecution of anyone. but of course the conservatives twisted it into a conspiracy theory the same way islamic fundamentalists claim jews control america. remember allegations of giving secrets to the chinese or blatent criminal activity etc if real would be treasonous and investigations would reveal something unless you think clinton is a super human mastermind.
9. Whitewater
same as above.
This isn't even listing his personal issues with infidelity. I could go on and on, I'm just giving you what I have at the top of my head.
with what? more unsubstatiated drivel you've absorbed from constant exposure to right wing radio?
You lack common sense if you are going to compare Bill Clinton and his administration to the behaviors of Newt Gingrich and other Republicans. In fact such a pursuit is perfect evidence of the lefts willingness to defy logic when faced with any notion of fact.
your one to talk logic when all you can post are conspiracies like the "vince foster suicide". logic dictates that if someone is involved with incredible amounts of criminal activity, they will soon slip up. Furthermore, if said allegations of criminal activity are true, the facts will come out and criminal prosecution will be relentless and successful in atleast some of the cases. but in this case.. nothing. just a bj from a pudgy intern that got the hots for the leader of the free world. good job!
how many gates do you need? the republicans tried desperate to pin something on a democratic president to even the score after the truely sordid watergate fiasco, they grasped at straws, any method, any lead, we gotta get him! It doesn't matter if there is any truth to the allegations, start enough scandals and even the press starts to get confused, let alone the average american. sleazy but it works.
