Does Bill Clinton Want Bush To Win in 2004?
So that his wife can run for the presidency in 2008? Sometimes I wonder.

3. Big Dog supported the Iraq war
and he is defending his position, and his bombing of Iraq. The last 4 Presidents have made alot of political capital at the expense of Iraq, and even though he may not want Bush* to win, he doesn't want this examined too closely either.

4. thats it
they're trying to sabotage any possibility that a leftist Dem will be elected, much less any Dem, because if a Dem wins in 04, she wont be running against that Dem in 08

6. IMO ...Hillary is going to have to "wait until 2012" because bush
is going down in 2004 no matter who gets the Dem nomination.

So Clinton can go on Larry King or call in or whatever and "forgive bush" all he wants. bush is still gonna lose! Then what's he gonna do? And I know this all speculation but it's what I feel.

10. I don't think he needs to sabotage anything
no dem leftists will be elected, no need for Bill to ruin it for them.

5. I had thought that Clinton's peculiar behavior
might have had something to do with that deal he made with the Bu$hies to keep from being hounded after he left office...

7. He made a deal?
I know Clinton has gotten some raw deals from the vrwc and I really felt sorry for him but now I'm just sick of what I perceive as more dlc slick manuveuring.

8. hillary will not run for president
bill clinton has said many things. he even defended dole in 96 against those who attacked him for being too old to be president. bill clinton says bush was not elected. why do people just pick up one thing and then go nuts over it. why not look at everything he says. i see nothing wrong with focusing on problems in iraq now as he said. how does focusing on problems in iraq right now help bush ? do you think bush is doing a good job there or something ? while i don't agree with him on the niger uranium thing, i don't see how his comments on dealing with other issues where bush is also doing a horrible job helping bush in any way.

11. His comments actually
have caused a problem for the Faux news types. They can't agree with what he said cuz he is Clinton; and they can't disagree with him cuz it would make Bush look bad.

14. yup, and clinton always did that
i remember after the right wing lame duck congress impeached him, they had one of those prayer breakfast things and steve largent was there. and clinton mentioned the impeachment and how he voted for it, but he was so nice to largent about it. largent was looking down in shame.

12. Okay, darling. How can Clinton secure Bush the presidency?
Come on, surely it takes more than one phone call. Let's have a practical list and see if he does it.

Fundraising? Bush doesn't need him and he does it for Democrats anyway.

Improving the economy? Tell me how he can do it for George.

Getting every American a job? Same as above.

Maybe Bill can talk the Iraqis into throwing those flowers George wants so much.

I haven't seen so much brainless speculation since my soap list panicked that Maurice Benard liked working with Nancy Lee Grahn. Mind you, they knew he was almost suicidal and looking to quit over it, but they freaked out for 48 hours and two thousand emails anyway.

15. If it comes to pass,
in light of your present suspicions -suspicions that have been voiced by others, would you vote for Hillary in '08?

17. No
Every day that Clinton undermines the Democrats, is another day that I lose my support for him. I loved him as president, but his post-presidency has been a failure to me. He seems more than willing to let millions of Americans suffer just so that his wife will have a decent shot at the presidency. I find that unforgivable.

16. Probably....
2012 will be too late, according to some. Young voters then likely won't remember the Clinton presidency.
