1. Clinton would be impeached and waiting trial for war crimes. Rightly so.
But republicans have no morality whatsoever. So all that is and will happen to bush & his Cartel; they'll continue getting richer by their war profiteering, America will continue being the most morally bankrupt nation (and most despised) on the planet, terrorism will continue to triple or more every year, people will continue to die, Americans will continue to lose rights & freedoms...etc.

2. Hmm
The Right would continuously harass him for not fighting the Iraq War agressively enough. He could have every woman and child in Fallujah killed in cold blood for no reason and the PNAC and AEI would publish a fancy looking report saying that Clinton was having the US fight the war too timidly.

3. That's a tough one
Let me see. Clinton was impeached because he lied about an affair with an intern..... hmmm. I wonder what would have happened if he'd lied to bring us into a dead end war and thousands of soldiers and 100,000 civilians have died? I wonder what would have happened if Clinton had turned the nation's largest surplus into the highest deficits known to human kind, and if gas prices had reached well over $2 a gallon, and the government was discovered to have violated the Geneva Conventions and tortured detainees in prison camps around the world? I can't imagine. Could there really be a double standard? Could it have anything to do with the fact that the media is owned by some of the nation's largest corporations? :think:

6. Bushco wants complete control of the press and proved it recently
with his push for his version of 'ethics' in reporting..

7. That's a two-way street, blogbear.
I don't think bu$hler wants complete control of the "news" networks (for example) any more than they want to be controlled by Him. "Spank me, Daddy, I've been a bad girl!"

(Goddess, I just grossed myself out!)

10. Yeah, he would have been doing the Nixon wave from Marine One
...and the Newtish types would have taken over with a vengeance, with half the population behind them with pitchforks and torches....
