89. I object to the entire term "Left Wing Clinton Hater"
It's not nearly as pathetically moronic as "Neo-Left McGovernite", but it is still a ridiculous generaliztion.

I'll freely admit that Bill Clinton was the most successful President in my lifetime, so far. Of course when your competion is Nixon, Reagan, the Asshole and the Idiot Son of the Asshole, that's not really saying that much. I guess you could argue LBJ against him, if not for Vietnam. And I believe Jimmy Carter was a far better moral leader. Nonetheless, the country did very well under Bill Clinton, despite his faults.


However, that doesn't qualify his wife to be the next President, and that's what a certain segment of the population of this board (largely "centrist" types/DLC sympathizers) and the Whore Media are trying to shove down our throats while the bad taste of the last election theft is still there. I don't believe any freshman senator is the best candidate. I don't believe marriage equals executive experience, and I don't believe I can trust a candidate who started out her career in politics on the Barry Goldwater campaign, and is now advocating postions which are so far to the neocon right that even Goldwater would be embarrassed.

And I'm supposed to believe she's the best this party's got? Or else I'm a "hater"?

Bullshit.
