Clinton Joins the enemy
Last night it was either MSN/NBC or CNN Bill Clinton was with George's father former president and they are very good friends. Clinton Even called him dad and the former President called him son. How could this be?

2. They are working together...
On tsunami victim relief and are enjoying success. This is a Good Thing.

Why are you so quick to condemn Clinton? Bush 41 is engaged with Clinton as well. Does that mean he is a "traitor" as well?

3. Clinton is the son....
bush wished he had. You know, a son to be proud of. One who's IQ is higher than his hat size. 41 totally struck out with his 3 sons, all of them are liars, spoiled momma's boys, thieves and idiots.

4. He's triangulating, and he is one smart fart
When he becomes the Secretary General of the UN, none of the GOP will dare to dis the newest, most charming "son" of Bar and George the First, and the half brother of the Chimp...

Clinton is a clever bastard. Remember how no one thought he had a prayer after Gennifer Flowers? He's TOAST, said the Conventional Wisdom Purveyors!! Yeah, toast for eight years in the White House (had he skipped the jam, he would have been better off).

The Comeback Kid is getting ready for another comeback, IMHO.

16. Let's hope not
Clinton as head of the UN would be a disaster. This is simply another corporate toady, ready to sell the working class and poor down the river in order to reap more blood profits for his corporate masters.

Let's just hope that Clinton sticks with the charity circuit.

5. They have been working on humanitarian
causes. No harm there. Politics requires weird relationships. I don't see anything traitorous here.

6. Once a sellout, always a sellout. Fuck the rationalizing. He is repub lite
He actually got on national tv months ago and said he believes the election of 2004 was legitimate.

He is also the man who signed off on NAFTA and welfare "reform". Fuck him too.

15. Carter and Ford are also good friends-does that make Carter a sell out?
It's an ex-President thing. They will be very nice to W, too, when that great day arrives in January 2008 when he becomes an ex-President.

8. For most Dems. Bill is a hero.
Any criticism will not be recieved kindly.

I felt way back that he is a charismatic con man and clever opportunist. I still feel that way. Poppy Bush and B. Clinton are not far apart on their political leanings. Hillary is being groomed for the next Pres run.
Her rightist swing is no accident.

9. It would be more entertaining
if she would switch parties, as Larry Nichols has suggested might happen.

After all, she began as a Goldwater girl in Illinois.

Actually, Goldwater looks like a liberal now even with respect to some of Hillary's positions on the issues. He was becoming more libertarian as he got older and that is the political philosophy neither party in D.C. has any tolerance for at this point.

14. I am not influenced by personality cults
and I was replying to a previous message, not the OP.

I am antiwar first and foremost. The Clintons are not. I "hate" war. That does not mean I hate them individually, but I will oppose what they stand for, which is more empire. They never would have been allowed to rise as high as they have, considering Bill's humble origins, had they not been part of the Anglo-American quest for a never-ending empire.

I'm looking for the one where they all have on sunglasses and are sitting together.

17. I think that Clinton knows that when people get to know him in an
intellectual way.. they love him and always come away impressed. So he is now walking into the GOP fire in order to become better known. So they can see how reasonable and impressive he is. And perhaps suffer a little guilt (at so viciously attacking him when they didn't know him & he was in office).

My guess would be that it

1) helps bill's legacy

2) undoes some poison within the hearts of GOP if they get to know the guy.. and can say..gee..you know he wasn't as bad as the kool-aid made him out to be... and we were really cruel.. maybe we need to get away from kool-aid a little more often and test things out for ourselves.

3) Makes them less prone to attack Hillary

4) Gives Bill information on how these GOP people think which he can use to reach out to moderates and even some conservatives. Who knows..may be doing a survey so can find the wedgies that have so much of the GOP acting like anal ass-puppets.

My guesses.
