Oh by the way, in 1991 there was a Bush in the White House everyone said could not be beat, and there was someone pathetic little cracker from Arkansas who was running the Democrat primaries who had single digit name recognition. All conventional wisdom was that the best he could hope for was to survive through the first few primaries before reallity hit him and he'd drop out.

3/13 Evidence that even a University Medal winner can be a demagogue:
http://www.afsc.org/pwork/0600/062k07.htm
Still, if I had to choose between being a Bush Republican or a
Clinton liberal, I still prefer the latter.
\_ Right, exactly how do you think we got in the mess we are in
today. Because someone did not have the political will
or backbone to face pending crisis in foreign affairs. We were
attacked FIVE times in the 90's. This is unamed person was
too busy jerking off in the oval office sink.
The peace dividend was completely wasted.
\_ A Bush Republican, case in point.
\_ Sorry, I don't like Bush - he domestic policy
is liberal. In foreign affairs, he has performed
impecably. Ask youself why clinton had to take
Cohen, a Republican (albeit RINO), for Secretary of
Defense. Please, list for me Clinton's foreign
policy successes.
\_ The main idea is that the Bush administration is
performing so terribly in foreign policy that you
don't really need to compare. Let's put it this way:
If Clinton gets a B- in international issues (B being
what an average president should succeed with),
the Bush administration is getting a C- or below.
(I emphasize Bush *administration*, because the
brightest bulb is not necessarily at the top.)
\_ Ok, in your dream world what would Gore do.
If the socialist intellectuals in France, Germany
and Communists in China and Russia are pissed
off, we must be doing something right. Bush
is a leading. Exactly how do you think
1441 was passed, by making concessions and
protesting for peace?
\_ In your GW Bush black and white, good and evil
world, it's a success to alienate our allies.
\_ Alienate France and Russia who have
multi-billion financial interests
in Iraq. Based on their unassailable
conduct of generosity and ethics in the
past I'm certain their actions
bear no relation to their own self-
interest.
Gore and Clinton could have passed 1441 --
everyone, frankly, is fine with renewed
inspections. Have you also considered how
likely it may be that Iraq is not a threat
with inspectors present? And that if Iraq
kicks them out again, passing a resolution
authorizing force would be much easier?
\_ Some allies, France continues to send
parts for Mirage fighters and helicopters.
Exactly how, under the sanctions in
place, was France able to engage in 10
billion dollars in 90's and negotiate
for 50 billion $ oil development
contracts. Iraq's entire airforce
in French and Russian.
\_ Please list for me Clinton's successes that
strenthened US national security.
The silence deafening.
\_ Sir, do you get the point? Even if Clinton
had absolutely no successes, it doesn't even
compare to the failures that the Bush
administration continues to draw.
\_ Evidently I don't have the sophistication
to appreciate your point of view. I
suppose I'm relegated to just
considering facts.
\_ and those facts are ...?
\_ A nations long term security depends on
the strength of its economy, especially
vis a vis its potential enemies. Clinton
avoided foreign entanglement while growing
the economy domestically faster than any
of our potential enemies except China. He
was at least moderately successful.
\_ Ok, please specifically enumerate
the legislation Clinton solely sponsored
that gave us the economy. And I suppose
the recession we are in has nothing
to do with the speculative nature and
excesses of that economy?
\_ The most spectacular corporate
instances of corruption and failure
all have strong ties to Republican
political influence. WorldCom,
Enron, price fixing on energy
prices... ringing a bell?
\_ Please tell that to Robert
Rubin and Ron Brown. I find
it saddening that this started
as a discussion of foreign
policy and you have deliberately
tried to change the subject
for lack of credible argument.
\_ Anyways, like I said, case in point: Bush Republican. The
basic problem with Republicans today is that they're just
so high up on a moral superiority righteous liberals are stupid to
hell with everyone else attitude.
\_ Its funny that even after Clinton was the worst
President since FDR his acolytes fight to get in line
on their knees to felate him.
\_ Go back to watching the Fox News channel. |

2/22 Is The New Republic supposed to be conservative or liberal? Someone
told me it was very conservative, but I just read a very anti-Bush
article by their editor in the LA Times...
\_ Bush isn't a conservative. He's a raving liberal, and an idiot
to boot. "Compassionate conservatism" my ass. He's just another
poll-swinging kiss-ass spineless political monkey, and given the
current electorate, that means a liberal.
\_ I don't read TNR. However, I consider myself a real conservative.
Bush isn't a real conservative. I'm pretty unhappy with a lot of
his (over)spending policies, his no-border policy with Mexico and
a few lesser issues. He's a better choice than that wooden block

thanks for introducing a new conserva-mag, though.
\_ Bush is just as corrupt as Clinton.
\_ But he's corrupted by good, honest, red-blooded Americans.
Not by those ugly yellow devils.
\_ And by "red-blooded Americans", do you mean those rich
terrorist-sponsoring Saudi millionaires or the red-neck

\_ Not even close - Clinton is far worse than Nixon, for example.
Clinton repeatedly sold out the security of the country for his
own personal and his associates gain.
\_ do you believe your own bullshit?
\_ All you have to do is search on the net - this information
is very easy to find - search China / campaign
finance scandals 1992, 1996. If you want to perpetuate
self-deception, there's nothing that can be done
to change your mind.
\_ If I write an article claiming that Clinton sold
secrets to China, post it on the web so that google
search-bots can pick it up and people like you can
type in "China / campaign finance scandals 1992 1996"
in the search box and find articles to support their
own forgone conclusions, does that make the article
true?
\_ LOL, so it never happened? That explains why
the DNC has returned millions of dollars and paid
comparable fines to FEC. And why Loral Space /
Hughes paid fines for gross violations of
technology export restrictions. Thats why CLinton
moved oversight of technology exports from
the Pentagon to Ron Browns Commerce Department.
Like I said, stick your head in the sand and you
believe what you want. This country has
never seen a traitor like Clinton.
\_ So why is Bush allowing this to continue?
In case you didn't read the article, this
was recent news.
\_ Because Bush is Clinton-lite, without
the rampant corruption. No one ever
accused Bush of being conservative.
Its a good question.
\_ The technology transfer took place in 1995
when the operations were "duplicated in
China". The damage has been done.
Be honest. When someone scores a direct
hit with a sound fact, show some humility
and admit. Even Gorbachev is on the
record with the assertion that communist
governments routinely lie. In the last
days of the Soviet Union, their leaders
were anxious over getting enough
pantyhose to the country's women.
Communism/Marxism = collosial failures
and the partial failures of Socialism

will also fail insofar as they cling to
the ravings of the once insane Karl Marx.
Marx couldn't even keep two of his sons

\_ we haven't been in a war since WWII
\_ Well, I belive congress passed a resolution declaring war

\_ A useful reference: "War declaration replaced by '73 law"
http://www.msnbc.com/news/641394.asp
\_ This issue involves a subtle distinction:
Congress has the sole authority to *declare* war, but
the President, as Commander in Chief, has the sole authority to
to order US troops into combat. Obviously this can lead to
some confusion due to the overlapping roles. The US has engaged
in armed conflict at the President's behest on many occasions
in the last half century, but War has not officially been declared
since 1941 after Japan attacked the US Fleet in Hawaii.
Even the authorization to use military force in the wake of the
September 11th attacks was not a declaration of war.
--bcm
\_ Followup question: under what conditions may martial law
be declared? -geordan
\_ Martial law is easy to declare.

want tax cuts. How they spend
is another matter.
\_ Clinton decreased government spending
as a percentage of GNP. Reagan did not.
As far as I know, no Republican actually
has, in spite of all the hot air:
http://perspicuity.net/civics/gov-acct.html
\_ Whoa! I'm a fiscal conservative and social liberal but
I am certainly *not* a libertarian!
\_ then what is your affiliation?
\_ I see myself as a real conservative which means small
government. Small government means the government
basically stays out of people's lives but not in the
insane and extremist way the Libertarians want. I'm
not insane. I just don't want a bloated government
stealing my very hard earned money and giving it to
people who have done *nothing* to earn it except
bitch and cry and whine how oppressed they are and
how I *owe* them something for some strange reason.
\_ I should have also asked for your definition
of a Libertarian
\_ I read their website. I honestly don't recall
the details, just that I found a lot of it
unrealistic, extremist, and idealistic to the
point of fantasy.
\_ Nobody really wants strict fiscal responsibility during a recession.
but all of that hot air appeals to voters.
\_ Tax cuts imply deficits
\_ No. In the long term tax cuts cause the economy to grow. Taxes
are funds stripped from the economy that are no longer able to
produce or create real jobs or wealth. It's a drag on the
economy not a growth measure (raising taxes).
\_ So taxes are kept in Fort Knox never to be spent? Go go
Goldfinger!
\_ Taxes don't grow an economy. Well run businesses do. The
government is a source of waste and corruption, not any
sort of productivity, innovation, or new invention. The
only things the government has created in this century are
poverty through dependence, and weapons.
\_ Well, we are only two years into the century. I'm sure
we can go for something much more sinister by 2101. USA!
\_ Given a budget surplus, would it be better to:
1. Fix the roads, bridges, and other infrastructure
2. Invest in education, from pre-school to universities
3. Give 90% of it to the upper 0.2% of wealthy people
\_ that is kind of weird. most of the tax cut will
go to really old rich people who derive a significant
portion of their income from stock dividends.
I don't know ANYONE who gripes about the government
taxing their dividend income. i would be more convinced
if the administration press machine would try to show
that lots of jobs are created by this elite class
of stock dividend collectors.... but they haven't at all.
maybe they're busy with iraq and are trusting the GOP
majority in all 3 branches of the government will
allow them to pass anything they want and dissenting
views are beneath their notice. pretty depressing.
\_ Don't you know what dividends even are? They are the
payback to the investors from the company turning a
profit. Without those investors there wouldn't be enough
money to run the business and a *shitload* of people
would be jobless. Possibly to the point of the economy
simply ceasing to function. Hey I know, let's punish
everyone who creates jobs by investing in the economy.
This whole thread is fucking ridiculous and shows the
\_ There is an article in the WSJ that argues that
instead of cutting divident tax, they should
give tax rebates to companies that pay dividends.
This will solve the double taxation problem,
give more money to corporations to invest, and
help the huge number of middle-income people
who hold stocks in their 401Ks, IRAs, etc. (all
of which essentially still have to pay tax on
dividends), rather than to the rich old people.
The other thing I hate is the child-tax credit.
I don't mind sharing some burden with poorer
people who need help caring for their kids, but
why should rich people who breed like pigs take
my money just because they have lots of kids?
amazing and incredible ignorance and sheer blind
stupidity of many of you regarding how the world works.
\_ Don't you know what personal income is? They are
the payback to people who work. Without workers,
there wouldn't be any business, and no company
will survive. Possibly to the point of the economy
ceasing to function. Hey I know, let's punish
everyone who work at jobs and make the economy
turn. Nobody is asking for the elimination of
dividends, just whether and how it should be taxed,
just like nobody is asking for the elimination
of personal income, just how it should be taxed.
\_ Oh yeah? I think income tax is bullshit. Want
to tax something? Tax people on how much use they
get out of the infrastructure. Road tolls, gas,
cigarette, utility and other usage taxes are just
fine. A euroweenie style VAT is fine too.
\_ Sure, now that you have understood dividend
and personal income, we can proceed to talk
about dividend tax and income tax, and whether
they are needed.
\_ I already understood divs and PI. I believe
neither are needed and in fact are harmful.
\_ isn't it reasonable to say that no tax on dividends
encourages "buy-and-hold" behavior?
\_ ok that's reasonable. why doesn't the admin.
say this? all i read in the newspapers
is "giant tax cut on dividends. suck it up
assholes!"
\_ GWB said that? Cool! What a stud!
\_ Clinton is a stud. Bob Dole is a stud (even
though he needs viagra). GWB ain't no stud.
\_ There is an article in the WSJ that argues that instead

\_ Why should *anyone* get money for having kids?
\_ That would be even better. I can always
give money myself to my neighbour who
needs help.
\_ Maybe your neighbor should've used a condom.
\_ If the country is to cut taxes, it should first
cut income taxes, next capital gains, next
divident taxes, and only finally, inheritance
tax. This is because we should award ability,
not rich people with no abilities. If you
keep rewarding rich people with no abilities,
you will create classes in the society.
\_ Bush.
\_ some folks here are actually having a real
discussion. take your crap to slashdot/kero5hin.
\_ What's wrong with classes? Has there *ever* been a
society without classes? Is it even possible?
\_ big middle class, class mobility.
\_ I believe this is the best that can be done,
but you've still got classes.
\_ Using your POV you should put inhereitance tax first.
\_ Why should there be one at all? What gives the
government the right to interfere in a parent's
transfer of family properly to other family? Why
are they taxing death?
\_ The same reason why we don't have succession
monarchy and aristocracy in this country.
"Damnit! I earned this country fair and
square by leading the country to defeat
its enemies and ruling it well. Why can't
I pass it to my son?!"
\_ 4. Pay off the National Debt so we no longer have to pay
interest to our creditors.
\_ These creditors being exactly who? Bond holders, also
known as the American public for the most part. The debt
is the government reinvesting in the country.
\_ Yes, it's good to go into debt to buy a house, but
what is the right balance? do we need buy 2,3,4 houses
\_ Depends. If you can afford to buy 50 houses, that's
a great long term investment in many locations in
this country. I can't afford 50. I can almost
afford 2 in the bay area. I'd get a second and rent
it out if I thought I could swing it.
\_ I'm not a conservative, but the usual items to blame are social
services which are not part of the Constitution(tm). If you go
full "states' right," feds should only provide for national defense,
trade relations between states, and maintaining law as strictly
described by the Bill of Rights (and maybe some of the amendments).
All social services should be done by the states themselves or
privately (church, foundations, etc.). The deficit is because
federal social services exist.
\_ You sure sound like a conservative. It's ok to be a closet
conservative as long as you keep making conservative arguments.
\_ Even with all of these federal services, there was a surplus
when G.W. took office. It was clear the economy was going
downhill, yet he gave that surplus away to the extremely
wealthy and put us into deficit spending this country hasn't
seen since Reagon was in charge. At least Reagan had a
real reason (a strong Soviet Union) to forget about long-term
strategy.
\_ Exactly what surplus did GWB give to the wealthy? There has
been pretty much nothing returned to anyone yet at any level.
To say that there's been some big giveaway is either pure
ignorance or a flat out malicious lie. Oh yeah, there was
that big huge gigantic $300 bucks which was enough to totally
crush the budget. Whatever.
\_ Also, the tax relief check is the same amount for most
taxpayers having between low 5-figure and many-figure
income. Hence, in terms of percentage of income, the
low-income taxpayers already benefited more than the
high-income taxpayers even though the tax rates for
low-income taxpayers were lower than those for high-income
taxpayers.
\_ Dropping the top tax rate for the most wealthy.
\_ Child, it hasn't happened yet. When you have clue, you
may return to the conversation. Please stop drinking
your own poison. No one has had their tax rate dropped.
I know because I'm paying that top rate and it hasn't
changed a bit. I'll let you know when it has and it
won't be soon enough for me.
\_ Yes it has. You have been paying based on the (lower)
2002 tax rate all year, you just didn't notice it.
\_ Do farm and business subsidies count as federal social services?
\_ Not in the same sense, but to a degree, yes. On the other
hand, there is an important need for the country to be able
to produce enough food and certain goods self sufficiently.
We definitely do not want to be dependent on some foreign
power for our food or other basic needs. I consider some of
these subsidies to be necessary for the country's long term
safety, stability, and survival. Others are pure pork and
should be completely ended.
\_ A bogus argument for subsidies. The US massively
overproduces "staple" farm goods, thus dropping prices,
and therefore subsidies. This argument assumes that
without subsidies there would be no farming. Wrong.
\_ So if there were no subsidies you think they'd just
grow less food and charge more and it would all be ok?
And who gets hurt the most by this? The poor? Yup.
I'm deeply conservative and I find this very *not* ok.
\_ The only reason the poor will get hurt is because
this distorted agricultural economy has been
around too long. It is like people getting
addicted to drugs. I say gradual reduction of
subsities. Short-term pain, long-term gain.
\_ And the free-market will take care of this anyways.
No more republican subsidies! If anything, we need
to get more oil, a basic need, that's more
important to long-term national economic
health than cheese or eggs!
\_ Troll. There are just as many democrat farm states
as republican. That POS who switched over in the
Senate only did so because the dems promised him his
state would still get farm subsidies/pork and he'd
keep his position on a pork committee. As far as oil
goes, we have plenty. It's in Alaska. It's off the
coast of California and Florida and probably other
places. Drill for it. It's there. |

1/3 Conservative censorship in action
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2003/01/03/MN120712.DTL
Someone else can run this through the URL redirector. Maybe if
we all close our eyes the problem will go away.
\_ ...so his claim is that this single-number economic indicator
is *really* important for letting the average person judge the
health of corporate America, huh? How many people here have
heard of this, or would trust it , vs. the number of people
who have heard of and trust the figures from http://www.fuckedcompany.com
If the US atorney general were to go after fuckedcompany for
some reason, it would be censorship. there are plenty of examples
of the Bush adminsistration trying to restrict speach in the U.S.
without making them up.
\_ For your future reference, "speech" is not spelled
"speach". Thank you.
\_ my spelling isn't much worse than the
guys who wrote the constitution.
\_ So the number of people who were laid off is unimportant? Then
the corresponding number of how many jobs have been "created,"
often a selling point in Presidental campaigns, is unimportant.
How can you take into context one of these numbers without the
other? It creates a statistic with a lack of context. The number
has been used regularly by the media, economists, and people
who make predictions on the national trends.
\_ Ending a government program is censorship the same way
smoking is free speech - i.e. it isn't.
\_ I don't think this word censorship means what you think it means.
And no, I've never heard of this until it was reported they were
ending it. It must be censorship that they didn't advertise the
number more so more people would know about it so we could all tell
how well the economy is doing instead of just looking at a
newspaper. Try harder, grasshopper.
\_ Have you ever read a newspaper? Where do you think they got
all those "stories" about layoffs at all those companies?
\_ It's not censorship. It's called covering their asses.
\_ That's not what CYA means. It's definitely something but it
sure isn't CYA. |

\_ conservatives are wrong? Then why not let their posts stay and

\_ The conservatives are backed by these huge capitalist
propaganda machines that drown out all efforts to
portray the TRUTH ACCCURATELY. People are oppressed in
the Republican's fascist attempt to conquer Iraq, which
is just a veiled (thinly at that) attempt for the
multinational corporations to control the oil supply

referring. Daschle has no political instinct whatsoever,
and the latest illustration (Lott's dillema and Daschle's
reaction) is pulling this into tighter focus. --scotsman
\_ Your party chose it's own leaders. Don't like em? Vote em

He should step down as speaker.

\_ the fact that you said the words "big government" in
a discussion discredits anything you have to say.
nevermind the misspelling.
\_ Nothing meaningful to say so you talk out of
your ass. The size of the federal government
is primarily the result of socialist / democrat
policies the past 90 years. All of your liberal
heroes are statists.
\_ Which president grew the overall size of
government most out of all of them in the
last 40 years? Reagan! Who shrank it the
most? Clinton. The real statists are all
Republicans.
\_ Except Reagan submitted a balanced
budget every year. Guess who controlled
Congress. Reagan made a bargain - tax
cuts and defense increases for democrat
deficits. We are still enjoying the
dividends. Clinton shrank the government?
Now you are making things up? Democrats have
controlled Congress for virtually the
entire century.
http://www.cato.org/fiscal/2002/factsfigs.html
Guess who enacted SS? Who started the
War on Poverty and allowed SS into general
expenditures? Who then levied taxes on SS?
You're full of shit or ignoring the facts.

controlled congress in 1984? Now look up
up the number of federal government
employees at the start of Clinton's term
and the at the end. Tell me what the
difference is. Now tell me what the
difference will be after 2 years of
Republican controlled government. I
am eagerly awaiting your reply.
\_ Ok so they downsized the military by
several hundred thousand and rehired
hundred thousand more federal employees.
I guess in your world this is 'shrinking'
government. So you, despite the claim
of every Democrat on the face of
the earth, that libs are for smaller govt?
Gore / Clinton in favor of nationalize/

\_ No, I think both "sides" are in favor
of larger governments. The Dems want
more handouts and the Repubs want more
cops. I think they both suck.
PS Reducing the size of the military
counts as "reducing government" to
any sane person. Also, look at your
own Cato institute graphs, they show
a (slight) decrease in federal
expenditures as a percentage of GDP
over the 8 years Clinton was in office.

11/29 Yup it's those darn terrorists... (not those tax cuts at all...)
http://www.kstp.com/article/view/62595
\_ At least the president was able to find money for his own $200k
pay raise, and $60k/year increase for each conressman, even if the
$186/year for the average worker was out of reach. Funny, the
total cost of the two packages is on the same order of magnitude.
Congress and the White House could have saved half the pay raise
of the average worker by forgoing lining their own pockets...
\_ Sorry. The across the board pay raise would cost $11 billion
using the 1990 plan outline, and $13 billion using the 1997
additions Clinton was able to afford. The total salary of
the congress doesn't measure up even close to that. That
said, blaming this on terrorist rather than the failed
economic policies and general economic depression is a
blantly self-serving deception. -mel
\_ idiot. the tax cuts have nothing to do with it. they're so tiny
compared to the size of the federal budget. get a clue before
mouthing off stupidly. better to keep one's stupidity to one's self
than open one's stupid ignorant mouth and demonstrate one's idiocy.
\_ *sniff* *sniff* Poor overpaid, lazy goverment workers. Never
do get a fair break.
\_ overpaid? where? have you compared civil servant salaries
to the private sector counterparts? Or are you talking straight
from your ass again?
\_ no bonus, no raises, 60k/year pretax for 8 years experience
doing systems development work. name the employer.
answer posted on monday.
\_ they get paid for what they do. people in the private sector
have to actually work sometimes to earn their money. this is
something a government worker bee slacker troll like you can't
understand. work isn't something you'd know how to do. the
people in private sector are lucky to have jobs right now.
no one is bitching about not getting a bonus for god's sake.
you're so selfish and ignorant and greedy it makes me sick.
go back to surfing and stop insulting people who actually do
work for a living. when the federal government slackers are
at risk for random layoffs, no raises, no pensions, no bonuses
and have to actually put in an hour's worth of work a month to
suck money from my pocket then they'll have something to whine
about. they get low pay because they don't fucking work.
\_ I've typically gotten excellent service when dealing with
federal employees.
\_ Hate to tell you this, but federal 'slackers' *are* subject
to layoffs. They call them Reduction In Force. Of course,
they make an effort to find you a job somewhere else, like
maybe, Alaska, if you're willing to move. Furthermore,
I'd bet that gov't workers have about the same ratio of
people who work hard to slackers. It seems to me like a
6 to 1 ratio of people who work to people who are worthless.
If the govt workers don't work efficiently enough for you
it's probably because they're hobbled by extreme red tape.
Also, fed workers don't get pensions anymore, they get
social security, like everyone else, no sweet
retirement pensions, and they'll match your contribution
to your retirement savings account up to 4.5% of your
salary
\_ Except this is exactly what Presidents / Congress have done
since 1990. Exactly how does one 'slash a pay raise'?
AP is full of stupid liberals. Of course this won't change
much, Bush is more pro-big government than Clinton.

The it completely eliminates cost of living adjustments in

3-letters news it was clear they had a bias but were
unwilling or unable to cop to it possibly because they
really honestly think they're fair and even handed even
though they're clearly not.
\_ Actually, what upsets me is that in the attempt to be
unbiased, the quite probably liberal-minded reporters
leave stuff out that should be said (albeit in an
editorial rather than a report, but when was the last
time you saw editorial or simply an attempt at historical
context on any newscast). --scotsman

than 20 years. Just what the world didn't need is hiding behind
more false moral equivalency.

\_ Uhm, whatever. You can see more nipple on *much* better looking
chicks by simply walking down any street in an American city for 5
minutes at noon. I'm not sure why you'd care or want to test this
but whatever, there it is. And I'm not seeing what this has to do
with Clinton.
\_ Yeah. Kids these days ..
\_ You're a virgin, yes?
\_ I see the nipples. I don't see the connection
to clinton.
\_ Maybe she was an intern...
\_ I don't even see the nipples. Maybe I need a bigger monitor.
\_ Obviously you are a left-wing Clinton apologist.
\_ Does that mean she's not wearing a bra?
\_ 1) probably
2) there are bras through which one can see nipples.
3) there are bras that have fake nipples attatched
to them.
\_ yes, but are the fake nipples inflatable and
deflatable? (yes, i know the reference.)
\_ I don't know the reference you're refering to.
I just know that this is a patented invention
i've seen in the patent database at uspto.gov.
the versions of the patent i read did not
have inflatable nipples.
4) nipples may be added with photoshop very easily.

Clinton? What's the fun in that?
\_ You need to re-read the article. That's not at all what
the take-away was.
\_ Except Clinton was the most venal, corrupt, unethical
President since FDR. Don't worry, I was fooled too.
The problem is everything said about Clinton was true,
but for some reason people were oblivious. It's safe
to say Clinton was a traitor.
\_ Uh, Nixon? Dumbass. It's not even close.
\_ I think you have rabies.
\_ No cookie.

How come the conservatives get to have all the fun???

you experience. I don't think being a non-sensical
idiot is anything to be proud of.
\_ Why can't you? You already are and much worse.

traitorous (and much worse, even)? Cool.

10/22 What's your big beef against Clinton anyway, freepers?
I mean honestly. Bush is so totally unrepresentative of most
Americans it's not even funny. Not only is he a WASP, he's a
big-business WASP. He's a political cartoon cliche.
\_ What's wrong with WASPs you racist fuck?
\_ Just that every president is one.
\_ You criticized Bush. Therefore, you must be un-American.
\_ Hating Clinton is tangential to how one feels about Bush.
\_ Yeah. I tried deleting my mini-Bush rant but someone
replied to it without using me. I could write an essay
about him, just ignore those 3 lines and start ragging
on Clinton. And not about so-called sex scandals.
\_ Because, upon investigation, it becomes clear
that Clinton was the worst, most corrupt and venal post WWII
president. The damage he did to this country and its
institutions may be irreparable. And yet he is still revered by
many as the Messiah. But what do you expect
from the quintessential Baby Boomer. Oh, but the economy was good.
And you think Clinton / Gore is somehow more representative of
'most Americans' - are we playing the victim / race card?
Thank God a large part of America is completely antithetical to
the California of today. Democrats have run the Federal government
for 40+ years - are you pleased with the current state of
domestic affairs?
\_ You haven't said anything specific, only that he's "worst".
Try harder and explain how he was more corrupt or worse
than other presidents. The Democrats running gov't is a lie
also. Eisenhower '52, Nixon '72, Reagan '80, Bush '88.
The country was doing pretty well until the 70's and 80's I
might add. Bush is more corrupt than Clinton, and Reagan +
Bushes have fucked the nat'l debt like no other. Fuck them.

\_ Bush turned this country into a totalitarian
society that would make communist USSR look like
a thriving democracy. The Clinton years were
some of the best years of my life in this country
until someone messed it up.
\_ Stop being naive. Nuclear technology is going to spread no
matter what. We just have to deal with this fact (along with
the fact that we have unleashed nuclear weapon on defendless
civilian in the past, which justifies others to do the same).
Clinton tried to make friend with them, it is probably the
best defense policy one can make. And... remember, United
States CREATED North Korea if you actually try to remember
things we have done which we are not proud of.

\_ That's 'cunning linguists' to you, bud. -John
\_ Cause we are not very good at assassination, but we are really
good at bombing the shit out of bad mamas.
\_ And we're bad at combining the two. Reagan and Libya (Khadafi),
GB1 and Iraq (Hussain), and Clinton and Afghanistan (Bin Laden).
The problem is lack of decent ground-based intelligence. Can't
hit them if you can't find them.
\_ Libya was fine. They were pretty much in their place after
that. We never intended to kill Momar, just scare the shit
out of him which I think the bomb in his backyard tennis
court accomplished that just fine. GB1 fucked up by not
finishing the job the first time but that's not at all the
same as pulling a Castro a la Kennedy. Both Clinton and
GB2 screwed up the Bin Laden/Afghanistan thing, true, but
both were afraid of the anti-war body-bag counting left in
the media who love to see dead American soldiers on film.
\_ Wrong. Reagan aimed for the palace and Khadafi wasn't
in it at the time. Killing wives and kids doesn't count.
\_ Ah, but you'd lose huge amounts of pork for the
defense contractors who've been hit hard by the end of
the cold war.
Libya funded activities after that (see Lockerbie
bombing) Hussain was a "high-level target of opportunity"
during the Gulf War. They could never track him down.
\_ Nonsense. Find any semi-respectable reference that
says my buddy Momar was a direct target. They knew
where Saddam was because Wolf Blitzer was reporting
his movements from his hotel room. GW1 had
specifically stated we are not targetting him
personally. Thanks.
\_ are you implying that the multi-million pound allocation
to the British intel is better than the multi-billion
dollar allocation to the CIA?
\_ Hell yeah. They have James Bond!
\_ Yep. The USA relies too much on technology and
bureaucracy, not enough on human intel. August's
wargames proved that an unsophisticated approach to
communication and basic slight of hand can devastate
the tech-laden, middle-management bloated American
military machine. The whole missle shield crap? Spend
a couple of billion bribing the tech folks on the other
side to sabotage their country's efforts or buying all
of the "loose" nuclear material. Cheaper and easier.
\_ Ah, but you'd lose huge amounts of pork for
defense contractors who've been hit hard by the end
the cold war. All those Sun buildings on the bayshore
frontage road in Palo Alto near Charleston used to be
Lockheed and Loral.
\_ You make it sound so simple. Just bribe everyone on
the other side. My God! Why didn't anyone else ever
think of that? Oh wait, they did. Those people are
all dead or in Siberia now and hey guess what? Not
everyone is bribable. Glad you're here to generate
these great national security plans. Why are you
being wasted here on the motd when you could be in
some bunker on the east coast coming up with this

"we will bomb while you ride into the valley of death on
horseback" [we'll give you some ammo but no APCs]. and
then "we'll cut you a check to walk through the caves
facing boobytraps and ambushes ... bringing the market
to war fighting ... while we back at our armed compound."
This was very obvious and prominent in Afganistan and it
looks sort of bad. The europeans [aside from the Brits]

there's probably a couple of facts in there, maybe
you could summarize? the pittsburgh tribune is also
owned by the billionaire who has dedicated his fortune
to destroying bill clinton. great, that article is
anonymous!
\_ Do some research on Ron Brown. That'll help. Don't
get me wrong, I think all politicians are crooks,
including many 'conservatives'.
\_ Enron gave $2M to the Republicans in 2000 and 1/4 that to Dems.
http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.asp?Ind=E01&Cycle=2000
Nice theory, but the facts condradict it.
\_ Oh that's right, Enron's 1990's business deals in China,
Africa, and the Balkans (eg. Croatia) were mediated
by who else, the all powerful then Governor of Texas.
Why go through the Commerce / State department when
you have the state government of Texas at your disposal.
Enron is metaphor for the (Clinton) 90's.
BTW you are right in one respect, the real scandal of
Clinton's administration, campaign contributions
from foreign sources, was not investigated because
both the Dems and Repubs had their hands open.
\_ Except Enron is based in Texas, and was a big energy
company, and in the pocket of the Republican party.
Yeah, except for that, it was exactly like the Clinton
90's!
\_ None of this Rep vs Dem political shit has anything to do with
anything. This is just another poorly run 90's company that was
prepared for good times but not bad times. There's no story here.

I'm sure part of Bush's intentions are PR as opposed to Clinton who just like having women around. :) The one thing I didn't like about when Clinton took office is that the Republicans in power immediately went to work at destroying the president's reputation at all costs. It's not very productive to treat politics as a religious war which is probably why Bush and Gore said what they said. Having said that, it's going to be another 4 years whether or not you voted for the president in office and the country will survive another 4 years whether or not you think so. So probably the best and most patriotic thinig to do is to support the new presidency even if you are a Democrat. -Gore supporter if you are a Democrat.

Now that his work is beginning to show results, you call it a recession and blame it on Clinton. \_ I'm serious. Greenspan, an 8 year long Clinton administration man raised rates too high, too fast, and kept them there. Hello recession. You call a recession "results"? I call it a recession. I'm still waiting to hear what the nation's economic, foreign, and energy policies are. I won't hold my breath. We don't have any policies and haven't for almost 8 years. "Greenspan has raised interest to keep inflation down" is not a domestic economic policy.

for Al Gore (Wexler's mewling doesn't count), Wexler, Al Gore's

minutes before the pandhandle polls closed (when working repubs are

Gore was sweeping the election. And finally a comment on GWB: GWB is

workers in order to expand and increase profitability.
They were able to expand because of the tax breaks
and reduced regulation enacted by Congress not
because of anything that Clinton did.
Clinton can be given minor credit for not screwing
it up.

\_ If that's what you think, you should blame Bush
Sr. for not finishing the war.
\_ I do.
(8) Turned budget deficits into budget surpluses.
\_ No. Please see yesterday's refutation of this.
The Republican congress is solely responsible
for this.
\_ Nope. Bill gets credit for it.
\_ Prove it. The numbers say otherwise.
\_ Your numbers only show a corelation between
a Clinton/Republican Congress combination and
a healthy budget.
\_ No, Clinton's true nature is displayed
in his first two terms. Also the growth
was limited in the first two years where
he fought congress. When congress prevail
despite Clinton, America was prosperous.
Clinton didn't do anything except know
when not to screw up a working formula.
\_ The "numbers" for which you are so
proud of has been reduced to just
an opinion / interpretation.
Me? My opinion is that a divided
presidency/congress is good for the
budget. A Republican presidency

\_ Yeah, now that N Korea has nukes.
\_ Are you that dumb?
\_ Are you?
\_ Clinton stopped N Korea from continuing
with its nuclear bomb program.
\_ No. He gave it enough time to cover it
up. They are still as deadly as ever.
(10) Promoted the development of the Internet.
\_ No. Unless you count increased traffic from the
White House to "adult-content" sites.
(11) Good effort at attempting to solve the Northern Ireland
problem.
\_ Attempting to solve? The Catholics and the Protestant
got together and promised to stop killing each other.
(The IRA still hasn't lived up to its part). Clinton
didn't do jack, except make things worse.
\_ How did Clinton "make things worse"?
(12) Good effort at attempting to solve the Palestine problem.
\_ Yeah. The killing of Israeli soldiers by Palestinian
mobs quite a good effort at peace.
\_ So what do you suggest? Kill all the Palestinians?
\_ Let the Israelis and the Palestinian criminals
work it out. If you read the WSJ, you will know
that the entire Palestine thing is a crock.
\_ That's what Clinton is trying to do!
\_ Uh, no. Clinton is trying to get Israel to
give up everything. Palestine is a crock.
The Palestinians are criminal terrorists.
Israel should deal with them as such.
(13) Improved education.
\_ Sex Ed?
(14) Improved relations with India.
\_ Went to India != improved relations. India still doesn't
like the US because Presidents like Carter and Clinton
want to tell everyone else how to live, and India can't
stand that.
\_ It's a start.
\_ No. Clinton's policy to India is a setback.
India wants to be left alone to determine
its own destiny, Clinton by refusing to allow
this has created problems for future relations.
\_ Nope, India wants and needs a good
relation to the US.
\_ No it doesn't. India has the technical
ability to build everything it needs in
India. It doesn't rely on any nation for
support.
(15) Showed that he is a president who cared about ordinary
Americans unlike Newt I-was-slighted-on-AirForceOne-so-
the-American-people-should-suffer-with-me-and-not-get-their-
paycheck Gingrich.
\_ Shutting down the government saved millions of dollars.
It was a good move. The American people did not suffer
because of Newt. The Contract With America was a huge
success.
\_ What the heck is "Contract With America"?
\_ It was a 10+ point plan for revitalizing and
rescuing America from the Clinton vision. It
worked.
(16) Bash up Big Tobacco, proving that they lied to Congress and
the American people about the harmful effects of smoking.
\_ Hi, I'm a poor idiot who never knew that smoking was
bad for me eventhough the carton said that it was
harmful to my health. Yeah, only the democrats would
pursue this.
\_ Get a clue. That's not the problem.
\_ What's the damn problem. If some bone head wants
to smoke, let him.
(17) Stopped Microsoft from continuing to use its monopolistic
powers to bully other people.
\_ No. A federal judge (Republican, Reagan Appointee) did
this.
\_ Thank goodness he did, but the prosecution is the
US government, headed by Clinton.
\_ The procesutions case was pretty damn weak. The
judge made a big leap in writing his verdict.
(18) Reduced the number of people on welfare.
\_ The got jobs. The only way that the got them jobs is
if the federal gov. hired them; some perhaps, but not
most. The jobs were created by a strong economy which
came about because of tax cuts from a Republican
congress. Supply Side Economics. It works.
\_ He reduced the number of people ELIGIBLE for welfare,
so THEN they got off their lazy asses and got jobs.
\_ Garbage! The strong economy is due to
productivity growth.
\_ The economy is due to business expansion and
revenue increases. These are due to businesses
having greater capital to work with and fewer
limitations. These are due to Congress.
\_ All the economists agree that high growth
without inflation only happens with
productivity growth.
\_ You both have condom lubricant for brains.
What will Bush Sr. be remembered for?
\_ For chipping away at the rule of law. Not much else.
\_ He kept the Internet tax-free and uncensored. He ordered the
removal of built-in error in GPS systems. He helped initiate the
break-up of Microsoft and the beginning of the fall of tobbacco
companies. -tom
\_ The internet is tax-free because of the senate. Specifically
bills co-sponsored by Sen. McCain (R-Az). Uncensored, well
that's good and bad, not really that important. Breaking up
M$ is good, but the actual legal action was taken by a
Reagan appointee. The anti-tobacco bs was completely wrong.
Its like the prohibition, and we all know how effective that
was.
Clinton will be remembered for the failure in Haiti, the
failure of the camp david accords, the death of 17 sailors
on the USS Cole, the death of dozens of US citizens in
\_ err?? Are you that wasn't terrorist's work? If you
want to blame a defense embarassment, don't forget Somalia
Sure Bush sent them, but it was Clinton appointee Aspin
who denied them armor.
\_ Okay, the Somalia debacle is one more thing that
Clinton will be remembered for.
embassy bombings, the sell out of our national security to
the chinese, the weakening of our national defense, a total
and utter disregard for the constitution and the law, and
perhaps most appropriately, he will be remembered for getting
a "Lewinsky".
The sad part is that compared to Bush and Gore, Clinton looks
pretty good. I guess he understood (to some degree) the role
of the president, which is not to wield power, but rather to
draw attention from it through acts of finely judge outrage
(to paraphrase Douglas Adams). |

11/9 Is Bush better for stock market? Republicans give tax cuts and
better business incentives, while Gore will tax us to death.
But then the gridlock will allow the markets to run more freely.
So which is best for the stock market?
\_ Well, I can tell you this much: when Gore's people announced that
they were going to demand a hand recount of some/all of Florida,
the market tanked 60 seconds later.... The market just wants a
stable government. The rest is BS.
\_ Republican's traditionally increase federal outlays - receipt
difference. Just look at the numbers on the annual budget
reports published by the government (you can figure out the
presidents that go along with them). As a result, Republicans
increase the incentives to invest in government bonds rather
than the stock market. If history repeats itself, Gore would
be healthier to the stock market than Bush.
\_ quick errata: In the past the the (outlays -
receipts) difference tends to increase under Republican
administrations and decrease under Democratic ones.
\_ Bush is better, neither is ideal.
\_ BUSH == inflation, unemployment
\_ That statement evaluates to FALSE
\_ True if he presidess like the sr bush.
\_ Not true. 1992 was a small correction. There is
always a correction when we switch from a wartime
economy to a peacetime economy. The people just
couldn't see that.
\_ that applies to clinton as well. he only looked
good as a president b/c of the sudden explosion in the
internet economy, he just happened to around when it
really took off, as predicted before '94.
\_ I'd like to hear exactly what policies Clinton enacted
that brought about prosperity, other than keeping
Greenspan, a Republican appointee, in office.
\_ The president is the gatekeeper to what spending
bills get passed or not. During Clinton's term,
the annual deficit reduced each year to help
drive down interest rates on federally issued bonds
and increase market capitalization of the stock
market. It was the complete opposite during the
Bush and Reagan years. There were also several
telecommunications bills but those were bipartisan.
\_ This is nice. What bills? Please name them.
\_ BS. Clinton only vetoed bills that he felt
went too far in preserving the freedoms that
the founding fathers gave us. The republicans
in congress and the Alan Greenspan kept
Clinton and the Democrats in check. Besides
Clinton was too busy getting it on.
\_ Nice try. But if you want to sound more
intelligent than a little child, you're
going to have to do much better than shoot
off the hips generalizations like that.
Numbers: In 1994 corporate income tax to
the federal government totalled $140
billion compared to $184 billion today.
Given inflation and a dramatic increase
in economic activity in the last decade,
that's not much of an increase (in fact
I would hazard to say it may have gone
down). I'd have to do more research but
at least I went to the trouble of getting
REAL information unlike you. Just because
you're too damn lazy, I'll post the damn
URL for you.
http://www.fms.treas.gov/cfs/index.html
\_ And Clinton gets credit for this
because...?
\_ You cannot approve federal outlays
without the president's signature
or an overriding majority. Much of
it's probably a mutual comprimise
between Democrats and Republicans
but you can't blaim Clinton for
being a "tax and spend commie".
Federal outlays decreased during
his time.
Federal outlays increased while _/
congress was friendly to Clinton.
Federal outlays decreased because
of congressional restraint, not
Clinton.
In the years 1994 to 1995 (before the Republican congress was
elected) spending rose from $1.51 T to $1.79 T, while revenues
increased from $1.38 T to $1.48 T. As you can see the spending
deltas rose significantly under Clinton's watchful eye. The
spending delta was much worse in Clintons' first two terms (see
the chart in [1]). (Chart [1] is quite interesting, as things
were *much* worse under Clinton's watch than under any one else).
Part of the problem was Clintons' tax increase which reduced
tax revenues between $60 B and $79 B in his first two years in
office. This coupled with increased spending (on the order of
1000 spending bills a year) lead to the deep deficit shown in
[1]. (See [2] for more information).
The statement above about stock capitalization is completely
wrong. Stock capitalization increased because of increased
individual investment in the stock market. Increased individual
investement was caused primarily by the tax cut enacted by
congress in 1997. The increased individual investment lead to
increased individual income which resulted in the largest
increase in federal revenues, from $543 B (1994) to $1.45 T (1999).
As pointed out above corporate tax revenuse did not increase
nearly as much. It sill resulted in a inflation adujsted (based
on the chart in [3]) increase of about $35 B.
These increased revenues combined with steady federal spending
($ 1.75 T in 1999 which is less than $ 1.79 T in 1995 even before
inflation adj) resulted in the reduction in the deficit. Steady
spending was due in no small part to the reduction in spending
bills passed by congress (around 300 per year under Republicans).
Clinto did nothing to reduce the number or content of the spending
bills; occaisionally he did not sign a given bill, but that just
saved more money.
The statement that the lower deficit lead to lower interest rates
is also wrong. Lower interest rates were enacted by the Fed to
keep inflation/deflation in check (which might have been
caused by the extra capital generated by the tax cuts). The lower
deficit was caused by rather than causing lower interest rates.

So much for due process, the law, precident, and justice. Goodbye America, hello Amerika. \_ Really fucking nice indeed. I have just gained a lot more respect for our government than I had in a long time. Due process has passed. Custody has been decided a long time ago. They were holding the kid illegally and the father deserved to have his son back. Here's to a country that (on this one rare occasion) stood up for its principles, upheld its laws, in the face of a shitload of whining that could've pushed a lot of politicians the other way (and did) \_ A Florida Family Court judge decided the case waaay back when in favor of the Florida family but that didn't suit the Clintons, Reno, or the INS, so they decided to once again ignore the rule of law the rest of us have to follow and kidnapped the child from his legally appointed guardians. Not only did Reno's storm troopers not have a warrant to enter private property and kidnap a child, when they applied for a warrant to do so, it was *denied*. I've just lost the last few shreds of respect I had for our government. I never had respect for people unable to tell the truth from the spoon fed media noise, though.

I'm so sick of you lying, stinking, piece of shit, fact inventing leftist fucks! YOU ARE LYING! \_ Sure, the law's, the law's, the law. Let's not forget http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/p/ap/20000422/us/cuban_boy_sequence_6dj.html that the mother and father had separated, and that the mother's dying action was bringing her infant son to America, away from the hated despot Castro. Although they will be soundly crushed in the courts, the Cuban American community and some of the boy's relatives feel that they have undertaken a holy mission to carry out the mother's last wish to secure a better life for her child. Unfortunately the technicality is that the separation was not too long ago, and the father seems like a reasonable guy, so he is thusly the automatic guardian. \_ Yeah, Castro's a Pinko Commie Bastard.

In any case, your humor is a little off base. \_ Oh, yeah, Cuban expatriates are a nice, unbiased source. Of course they're not going to have anything good to say. They left.

In some ways you can hardly blame Clinton, after all he was
brainwashed by that COMMIE scumbag JFK. And the reason that we
have all of these problems anyway is because Truman didn't
let MacAurthur take on RED CHINA in the 50s.
\_ I thought the real reason is that Eisenhower didn't let Patten
take on USSR to wipe out communisum altogether right after
Germany surrendered in WWII. -- yuen

have "won" solely cuz the U.S. had more nukes at the time
But the world would only now be emerging from the nuclear

\_ Bullshit. China and USSR were not allies. Not even close.
Why do you think both have huge numbers of men on both
sides of their mutual border? Partying? Duh.
\_ If they are not allies, why did USSR send all those
technical advisers to commie China?
\_ Yes, but Russia will side with China to take advantage
of the situation if US goes to war with Chian, even
though Russia is no longer commie. -- yuen
\_ Russia is neither more nor less commie than it was
the last 75 years. Russia has and always had a
criminal, dictatorial government. It doesn't
matter what the government calls itself.
\_ As a Chinese-American, I have to say, those Chinese in the
People's Republic are a bunch of fucking punks. Agreed...
We should have done more to crush Mao at the very beginning.
But what can be said...it wasn't in the U.S. interests to bother
with it at the time.
\_ Traitor. The U.S. has this unfounded fear that China wants
to challenge the U.S. - that's not true. They aren't that
stupid, but if you believe those dumbass Republikans
China is going to be next evil threat then stop buying
Made in China stuff - almost all of it helps the PLA get
stronger. It's a fit of irony that you really can't.
It's further irony that everyone is ignorant about
the self-determination of a population when they claim
to be from a country who extols the values of democracy.
The Chinese are not Americans, whether through ignorance
or not, they are much mroe comfortable with auhtoritarian
governments than you are.Leave them be.
\_ You mean the unfounded fear based in part on various top
level Chinese government officials stating in public that
war with the US is inevitable? Chinese like being slaves?
That includes the democratic Taiwanese? We should just
stand around with a thumb up our collective butt while the
communists invade Taiwan because they're "much mroe
comfortable with auhtoritarian governments" than non-Chinese?
That has got to be one of the fucking dumbest things on the

the simple mention of the obvious.
\_ The future is always in our interests today. Vision.
\_ Well, Mao kicked our ass at the very outset.
See Korea, North & South
\_ as a Korean, I'd have to say "Fuck Mao!"
\_ No, we didn't fight the real war we could have. It was politcal
stupidity, not military inability. Pick up a book sometime.
\_ Politics is part of waging war. Pick up a book sometime.
\_ Twist in the wind, baby. Keep twisting those words. One
day you'll meet someone dumb enough to believe you.
\_ We can win the Korean war. We can crush Mao by nuking
China. However there is no way we can liberate China
from Mao for KMT at that time. The support for CCP is
too high at that point in time, and it would be like
10 Vietnams.
\_ Actually when Chiang had the advantage in 1947,
Stilwell and Marshall pressured Chiang to compromise
with Mao, giving the Communists much needed time to
build up their forces. Had Chiang kept pressing at
that time, who knows.
\_ Didn't need to free China from Mao but still could have
had a full and complete military victory in Korea.
\_ Not if the Ruskies get dragged in.
\_ Or space aliens from the planet Nemik, but that's
about equally likely.
\_ Why is it not likely? Russia and Commie
China are on good terms then, and Russia
is an ally of North Korea too. It would
be a huge loss of credibility for the
Ruskies if they let their two running
dogs be defeated.
\_ Russia & China allies? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA!!!
Don't be a ditzoid. Only in the last 3-6
months have they even begun to start to
pretend to not hate each other. No one was
launching nukes over Korea. That's the
second dumbest thing on the motd all week.
\_ Really? I thought MacArthur wanted to
do just that (launching nukes). You can
laugh as hard as you want, but it would
not cover up your ignorance.
\_ He wanted to nuke the Chinese. The
Russians hated the Chinese and still
do. Why exactly would the Russians
risk total destruction because we
nuked their hated neighbor? You are
the ignorant one. The idea that the
Russians would risk everything to
help their post-nuked enemy is so
wildly ridiculous that I feel you
must be trolling me. -been trolled
\_ Very simple, if the Russians
let North Korean fall, and then
let Red China fall, they may as
well give up communism and
disassemble the USSR there and
then, rather then 50 years
later. It's called
the USSR version of the dominoes
theory.
\_ You made this up. They don't
have their own version of the
domino theory. Nice try
though.
\_ They may not have a name
for the theory, but it remains that
they understood that to let North
Korea and Commie China fall, they
may as well disassemble the USSR
and give up communism. As much as
they distrust Mao, a US supported
Chiang-Kai-Shek China sharing
the world's longest border with
them would be much more disastrous
for them. You need to learn how
to think from your adversary's point
of view. It's the first step out
of idiotdom.

\_ Don't pull out a gun unless you intend to shoot someone.

\_ If Hanoi Jane and the rest of her Berkeley spawned ilk were
put in chains and electric chairs where all traitors
belong, it'd be less of a problem.
\_ The problem with the U.S. fighting wars is that if one examines
the historical record, public sentiment for wars that "drag out"
too long are highly unpopular. If Washington hadn't gotten
lucky that one winter, the U.S. wouldn't exist because people
were about to lay down their guns and quit. Anti-war feelings
were even strong in a popular war such as WWII. And Vietnam...
Vietnam was a war of attrition that required huge numbers of
troops to fight a land campaign...and although the U.S. and
South Vietnamese scored an overwhelming victory in the Tet
offensive, the U.S. got fucked politically b/c to Americans,
it never seemed that the war was going to end, even though
we might've scored a military "victory" in a few years time.
When the chips are down, Americans are only in as long as
it looks like we're winning.
\_ Uhm, I think the draft (forcing people to go and fight in a war
against their will) had more to do with the unpopularity of the
war than its perceived duration. Also, you speak of lengthy
wars being unpopular with Americans as though only Americans
experience this, which is at best an inaccurate generalization.
\_ Washington? The "people were about to lay down their guns and
quit" is not the public. What the fuck are you talking about?
This is a total lie. The problem GW had is that his army was
too small, inexperienced, ill equipped, and underfed to fight a
real war with the local school yard bully much less a foreign
super power. There were no Clintonesque opinion polls being
taken on an hourly basis or focus groups being used to determine
if the fight should go on. WWII? Anti-war? Are you fucking
insane? Have you ever met _anyone_ alive during that time in
this country who wasn't a foreign agent? Vietnam? Sure, go
ask Traitor Hanoi Jane why Americans were spitting on their own
at the airports.
\_ I think you're getting us confused with the French.
USA is #1! USA! USA! USA!
\_ It's a matter of acceptable losses. If the PRC is willing
to suffer any number of casualties to take Taiwan,
and the USA isn't, then quite simply, the PRC will win.
\_ 2 mil casualties suffered on the PRC side in Korean War
vs the 60K on the U.S. I think you can safely say they
are very much willing.
\_ Win what? Taiwan? Doubt they can take Taiwan without us
directly interfering. They lack the logistical support
required to move half a million+ men over the straight and
then to keep them supplied. The only thing the PRC can do
to the US is nuke a few west coast cities (SF comes to mind
as a fantastic target). The response with be to glass in
their entire population. There won't be a PRC or anything
resembling civilization after that and they know it. There
is *nothing* the PRC can do but rattle their sabers.
\_ The PRC has the ability to both move and supply the
troops necessary to conquer Taiwan. They do not have
the ability to do so in the face of the US Navy. So
the question is: will the US commit an act of war
against China in order to keep Taiwan free? It is
not a military question, as Taiwan is fully capable
of killing the few soldiers that would make it past
the Navy. Is it worth it to make our allies in Asia
feel comfortable and alienate the largest emerging
market in the world? Of course, China is thinking the
same thing, knowing that the attack if pointless if
we intervene. So it is in the US's best interest to
make it seem that we will, even though I believe that
Clinton would back down if pushed to the wall.
\_ Clinton will back down because he's a traitor and the
Chinese have already bought him off. This has nothing
to with the will of the american people. This is all
about Clinton's treason against this nation.
\_ My point exactly...unless the U.S. is willing to go toe to toe
with a country that has this fucking psycho "we will
win at all costs" mentality, the U.S. will back down.
\_ Clinton will back down because he's a traitor and a Chinese
stooge and his lack act of official cowardess and treason
will be to abandon Taiwan.
\_ Three things:
paper -
Without which, you would be going blind hand copying
texts on bulky and unwielding papyrus, performing self-
flagellation when you made an error, in a damp, dark
monastery. That is, if you are part of the upper-class
intelligentsia. If you are a poor illiterate serf ...
gunpowder -
Without which, the civilized world will still be plagued
by cycles of nomadic expansions, with no answer for the
nomad's superiority in horsemanship and archery.
compass -
Without which, America will still be populated by Indians,
which depending on one's point of view, may be a good or
bad thing.
And these ungrateful pigs want to nuke us after exploiting and
colonizing us for centuries!
\_ Summary: PEOPLE DON"T KNOW THE FUCK WHAT THEY"RE TALKING ABOUT.
\_ Real summary: China has the military might to wear down and take
over Taiwan if the US doesn't intercede. Clinton, the traitor
that he is, will sacrifice Taiwan to the Chinese for the sake of
the children rather than pull a Kennedy/Cuban Missile Crisis on
them and force them to back down. Good bye democracy in Taiwan.
Good bye US credibility to our allies anywhere in the world. Hello
to the rest of the world taking advantage of the new depths of US
weakness and inability to protect our allies or be taken seriously
on anything for many years to come. I'm voting for Bush, not
because I'm a (R). I'm not. But because Gore is already dirtied
with foreign money, most of it Chinese and will lead to 8 more
years of treason in the Whitehouse. I couldn't care less about
the President fucking some pig girl in the Oval Office but
Clinton/Gore's foreign policy, bought off with foreign money,
is treasonous. (The Russians have nothing to do with this thread
and were a side issue full of mis-stated history and conjecture).
\_ MOTHER RUSSIA WILL RULE YOU ALL!!@@@~!!!
\_ Clinton is my hero! The question is: Are you better off
now than you were 8 years ago? Who told you Clinton will
back down if commie China tries to bully Taiwan? Clinton
will give the commies a swift kick in the butt. Who
ordered the carrier battlegroup to sail close to Taiwan's
shores and scare the red China bully when they started
firing missiles into the sea? Clinton is better than
Bush (the father) when it comes to China.
\_ I'm better of today than 8 yrs ago, but not because
of that COMMIE SOB Clinton. It was Reagan who restored
America's greatness and his policies are the ones that
are directly responsible for our prosperity. Clinton
fortunately was more interested in screwing around with
unattractive women than the economy and let Greenspan (a
Reagan appointee) keep the Reagan boom going. If it comes
to a armed Taiwan-RED CHINA conflict, Clinton will side
with his friends the RED CHINESE COMMIE SCUMSUCKERS and
will look the other way while democracy is stopped out.
We need a real KICK-ASS President like John McCain rather
than a ASS-SUCKER president like Clinton. Washington,
Lincoln, TR and Reagan would have dealt with the RED CHINESE
rather than being bought out by them like Clinton-Bore.
\_ Yeah, yeah, yeah. The only thing Reagonomics did was
that even in today's good economy and ample tax
revenues, 25% of the federal budget goes into servicing
the national debt. I sure would prefer to have that 25%
in my bank account instead. |

I don't know what's worse: the fact that they're spending *my* fucking tax dollars on shit like this, or the fact that there are presumably people out there who *need* to be told these things. Are these ads sponored by the Bureau of "Like, Duh"? \_ Even if you are a minor, sex with a minor is illegal. \_ If some people actually pay attention to them, you are getting value for your tax dollar. reduction in crime, means less money needed for crime. Well, okay, it actually means the fixed amount of money put into police departments gets to work its way down to some of the other areas that otherewise wouldn't get touched.

BFD. \_ No, more like it is legal to have sex with someone that is within 3 years of your age no matter what. Sex between same age minors is never prosecuted thus the legal status of the act is nothing but an on paper fantasy. \_ So if you're both minors, is this sort of like illegal like consensual sodomy is illegal in some states or something? \_ I believe there used to be some odd statute whereby in this case, the guy could be prosecuted for statutory 17 year-olds trying to cruise junior high schools. rape, but the girl could also be tried for sexual assault. -John \_ Well, hey -- guess they needed that billboard after all! \_ Actually, the law is if the couple involved are within two years of age, then they can have sex legally. This covers that strangeness between 17 and 18 year olds, and those hits those 17 year-olds perverts trying to cruise junior high schools. There IS an lower age limit as to when sex is illegal, but I don't recall what it is. 13, I think. \_ the laws vary from state to state. go to vermont. you can legally fuck 15 year olds there. \_ No you can't.

The problem is the Chinese do not believe in Nato's action

accident. They consider it collateral damage caused by

what FoB stands for I assume. j/k
\_ My friend visited Hong Kong awhile back. He came back and said
"My gosh, the teenagers are such FOBs there." The sad part was,
he didn't see anything inherently contradictory in that statement.
\_ So what DOES FoB stand for?
\_ (a) There's the stereotype of the 'disgruntled postal worker',
who would go out and shoot up a post office and a half dozen
co-workers. This happened about a half dozen times, hence,
the phrase.
(b) FOB - Fresh off the Boat - new immigrants, perceived as
clueless in their new surroundings.

\_ Prolly cuz they all somehow died.
\_ or caught something
\_ Or committed suicide by shooting themselves in the
back of the head.
(c) FOB - Furbies of Bill, furry beaked creatures that compel
presidents to desire blow jobs while being investigated
by special prosecutors, these creatures never learn.

Is this incorrect?

it somehow to get away with saying "no." It was him that
lied to everybody, and tried to coverup for 7+ months. Let's face
it, he screwed up once, and screwed up once more to cover it
up. Most people would have cared less if he had an affair, its
the lie and coverup that pissed a lot of people off. I just wish

people think they can hold presidents to standards that they
wouldn't even expect of themselves.
\_ Most grown married men do not go off and have affairs with

standards that most americans.
\_ get laid.
\_ yeah, 'moral standards' are just a weak cop-out escuse for
the losers jealous that they're not "gettin' some"
\_ I'm pretty sure that the same group of people who are trying
to get the president impeach for infidelity probably are
guilty themselves of the same crime. What irony.
\_ $40 million we could have spent on schools, cancer/aids
research, (and for those militant republicans, weapons) but
no, we had to spend it on revealing one person's personal
life. Shows how we have our priorities straight.
\_ It seems unsual that in the common workplace employers get
sued for prying into their workers personal life. Yet we
find nothing wrong with exposing something that the
president does outside the job. If you want to evaluate a
public
servant you evaluate their job performance. Anything that
that the president did wrong not related to the job should
be handled by Hillary.

\_ No funds were misappropriated. URL please?
\_ Wow. Not even 'I don't know of any funds
being misappropriated'. So I take it you
have a personal accounting of his $40+ million
budget? The council has been repeatedly
reprimanded for his allocation of investigative
resources to the Paula Jones case where he had
no authority to do so. Furhter, the initial

How many other 'fishing Tripps' have we financed?

\_ Spend $40 million tax payer dollars on something that no one

\_ And the "Kenneth Starr Investgation" is unique
because...?
\_ How else can they make some entertainment news the news
headlines, everyday?
\_ Not "no one". Don't lump me into your shallow zero-morals
apathetic "the economy is fine so its ok" group of leftist
stupidity. Even if this line of "reasoning" wasn't a total
cop out, it isn't Clinton who gave us a healthy economy. It
is the work of a Republican, Alan Greenspan. No one has done
more harm to this country in recent years than AG; by keeping
the economy humming, he has allowed morons like you to slack
by without a blink at the worst President this country has had
since Johnson, or maybe earlier. Please stop opening your
editor on the motd without your brain properly engaged.
\_ The Republicans invented the internet?
\_ Probably so, considering most of those guys who worked
at BBN back in the 1960s were probably crew-cut, white-
shirt-and-black-tie wearing guys (working on a DoD
funded project, to boot). The long-haired, dope-
smoking WiR3D! pseudo-hippies came along later.
\_ Republican is the reason for our healthy economy? Oh come
on.
\_ No body said that the economy is fine and therefore forgive
the President. The point argued is the $40M spent just
to find out that the President lied about his extra
marital affair. That is the President's personal life.
Who gives a shit what he does with his personal life.
\_ and besides which, we don't need to spend $40M to figure
that out.
\_ You're right. I'd rather have the OIC investigate his
possible role in the transfer of sensitive missile
technology to the Chinese. I *hope* that Clinton moves
to California after he leaves office, so he can be
easily within range of a new-and-improved Long March
missile, along with most of us.
\_ Hm. He took a vow to be faithful. He took an oath
as president. If he doesn't care about the first
one, how can we trust him on the second?
\_ most every elected official has taken an oath to
their position. Are you that fukn lame? or do
you want to go through each of our senators,
representatives, governors, down to city council
members, and find out who's cheating on who?
\_ A President is human, you know. If you are so
damn picky, then why don't you elect a computer
run the country.
\_ Bob Dole don't run against computer.
\_ Exactly.
\_ So what if the republicans can impeach the
President. Al Gore will be next person to be
President if Clinton is impeached. This would only
showcase Gore for the next Pres. election.
\_ Speaking of zero-morals, I'm a lot more worried about
the power being amassed by the special prosecutor than
the things he is trying to investigate. Why do you idiot
right wing jingoists have to use 'morality' to mean
'our limited sexual mores' rather than the more general
term. Anyone notice that the 5th amendment hasn't seemed
to apply to the President in all this? Nor his staff.
Who's next?
\_ Uh oh... "they" are out to get us! The sky is falling!
The 5th amendment is about the right to not self
incriminate yourself. If he begged off on the 5th,
he's admitting guilt to the public, if not to the
courts.
\_ Actually, taking the 5th is not supposed to be
used in deciding guilt or innocence. Also,
one of the principles of our judicial system
is that Grand Jury proceedings are not open
to the public. This is supposed to protect
people from getting harassed by prosecutors
on fishing expidtions which never convict the
target. Don't you think eroding the protections
of our judicial systems are a lot worse than
consensual sex between adults? -emin
\_ Just out of curiousity, why is Clinton the worst
president since Johnson? -emin
\_ or was that "worst president with a Johnson"?

\_ At his age, you get what you can take.

2/3 Who removed the thread on Clintonomics?
\_ Dude, i don't like clinton that much either, but what the
fuck more do you want from an economy?
\_ A future plan that isn't based on bullshit and false promises?
\_ Concentrate on the present, not on the future.
\_ and what president has ever delivered one of those?
\_ you have it all wrong -- they concentrate on what will get them
( or their party) re-elected. few voters are made 'happy'
by reducing the fed debt. Many (senior) voters are made happy by
bolstering social security. Whether or not it's a good idea...
\_ Death to old fucks! Let em starve if they were too stupid,
greedy, or dependent on the feds to take care of their
lazy worthless fat wrinkled asses. |

2/2 Can anyone help me to understand Clintonomics? Clinton talks
about surplus in federal budget going into social security,
but doesn't the surplus go into reduce the national debt? I
am confused.
\_ Clinton doesn't think it's important to reduce the national debt;
he probably just wants a balanced budget to pacify criticism from
some conservatives, doesn't personally think it's important, and
therefore he uses any surplus to do whatever he feels like.
\_ It's just the typical tax&spend democratic party line bullshit.
The so-called surplus he's already promised to spend on more big
government programs doomed to failure doesn't even exist yet.
It's money he's hoping will exist from a variety of sources
such as tobacco industry punishment legislation which hasn't
even been written yet. A giant "fuck you!" to anyone stupid
enough to vote for this corrupt, lying, worthless sack of shit
in either of the last two elections. |

1/22 Clinton is such a stud!!! Flower, Jones, and Lewinsky. STUD MAN!!!
\_ he's kind of a chubby chaser, tho. Ande they aren't
that pretty.
\_ At least the last one wasn't an embarrassment.
\_ Then you must think Woody Allen's a REAL MAN
\_ not true, clinton has MORE number and even YOUNGER ones.
\_ Nah, I doubt Bill will marry Chelsea anytime soon.
\_ Although he's certain to sleep with her, get her a series
of jobs she isn't qualified for, then try to hush her
about it.
\_ Clinton, shminton. Check out sony bono's wife

Now that was some 62 year-old stud butt.
\_ So he bought a bimbo, so what?
\_ don't get it. I still think Clinton has a bigger penis.
\_ size doesn't matter -ari
\_ isn't that just something nearly dickless
guys say to try to keep their wives faithful?
(and fail)
\_ Obviously you haven't seen the jpg of ari naked.

11/11 Did anyone tape the Tyson/Holyfield fight, or have Showtime?
(They'll be rebroadcasting it Sun at 8:00, but I haven't got
ST... It'd be fun to see the fight though!) -- Marco
\_ Who won?
\_ It's only worth watching if holyfield won (and he did)
\_ clinton
\_ I taped it, but the reception was relly bad so it's
black-and-white. It's your only chance to see Tyson really get
his ass kicked. -Benny
\_ at least until they release "America's Funniest Prison Videos" |

4/8 I suggest people calling their respective Republican Senators
and complain about the filibuster tactics they used to kill
Clinton's stimulus package. Essentially, what they are saying
is: "We know you are out of a job, but we are saving you
millions!"
\_ I suggest you try looking at the package before you whine.
It's actually full of swimming pools, unemployment benefits,
and projects for Puerto Rico. Stuff that will not help the
majority of the US people get jobs. Besides that, it's way
inefficient. $900,000/job is the cost. It is very, very
fortunate that the Republicans had enough votes to prevent
a vote. Now, a compromise will be forced, which might just
provide a bill that will not destroy the economy and drop us
back into a recession. [By the way, California doesn't have
any Republican Senators to call] |
