Have you noticed that nobody ever has evidence against the Clintons?
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 03:28 PM by marcellobarrios
A thread is circulating saying that something is "curious" about Hillary Clinton's campaign loan, and implying that she borrowed it from Dubai.

Have you noticed that the Vince Foster, Whitewater, Hillary-ripped-off-all-the-W's-off-the-white-house-keyboards, and now this Dubai accusations NEVER carry evidence?

The right-wingers (and those who are allied with the right-wingers at this moment) only cite "curious" events that are never proved.
Isn't it time that Hillary got caught in one of these "crimes"?

16. Ever noticed how many Clinton associates died, fled the country, or went to jail
but the Clintons are saints.

No evidence? hahahhahahahahahahaha

Few witnesses willing to testify is more like it.

19. Five words out of their mouths are enough to tell you they're slimy politicians
unless, of course, you share their ambition.

We don't need crooks in office. Especially for a third term.

17. $110 million spent on investigations- and only a BJ and some football tickets found - I'd say...
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 03:39 PM by robbedvoter
Over 100 indicted during St Ronnie, and onlt cronie AGs prevented more indictments in W's than were actually obtained (enough)

42. This is the absolute truth -- by every objective standard.
Even Jimmy Carter had Bert Lance.

Clinton had more people investigated and fewer investigated people ultimately charged with crimes than any other administration.

Wingnuts and Clinton-haters don't like to hear it -- truth burns them like Holy Water -- but the fact is, Clintons ran the most honest administration in American political history.

Who even WANTS it? The idea is to plant an idea in people's minds.

13. dynasty
What gets me is not so much the usual Travelgate/Whitewater/Monica stuff they won't let die, but rather that the Clintons are now being blamed for everything Bush has done, by virtue of the fact they are seen as part of some Bush-Clinton dynasty. It's amazing; if something is repeated enough, it's perceived as the truth.

with the Clinton's for firing him for years.

I don't think she is a bad person, and I think she and Obama are both fine on domestic policy, its her view of foreign policy that makes me an Obama supporter.

32. She didn't BORROW from Dubai. Dubai put the money into Yucaipa and Burkle gave
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 03:55 PM by blm
it to Bill Clinton.

That's generally known as FUNNELING money. Especially since Bill did advocate for Dubai to get that ports deal.

Not to mention all that protection of Dubai's BCCI interests when the BCCI report was deep-sized by a Dem president throughout the 90s.

And if you want to refute that, then go open Bill's book and find all the pages where he explains how he handled all BCCI's outstanding matters and come back and give us an overview.

Heheh. Don't worry, it won't take but a minute of your time.

48. this is so fun to read...hey maybe beelzebud gave it to the
campaign to thwart the messianic obama....

Oh and one other thing,f you point out that the Clinton administration was actually the cleanest of the 20th century and may well have been the cleanest administration in American history, the stepfordobamas and the born-again right-winger won’t believe you. If you PROVE it, by running down the lists of convictions and indictments members of various administrations received (Reagan’s, which really was the most corrupt, is a fun one, since Ronbo’s boys often racked up more indictments and convictions in a single afternoon than Clinton’s people did in eight years) they’ll mumble about how librul judges and the media let them off the hook. (You all remember how the librul media and Heritage Foundation judges covered up that Monica what’s her name thing, right?). When you point out that all but a couple of the more minor accusations against Clinton were found to be groundless, they’ll shake their head in disgust and walk away, convinced that Satan has seized your brain and is making you tell such terrible lies.

Well, that's it....
