I have been asked by many Dems what my problem with the Clintons is…..and there are many. Let me enlighten those people that ask that question of me…….
With the Weiner thing we are hearing a lot about the Clinton’s mainly because his wife worked for Hil in the State Department…….and also Bubba is making quite a name for himself with his Global Initiative…….and of course Bubba is trotted out at just about every main Democratic function so he can bring the heat for the candidate….personal I get a knot in my stomach whenever I hear a liberal chattering on about the accomplishments of the Bubba admin…….
Yeah…you guessed it! I think Clinton was horrible for the Democratic Party and it will take decades for it to recover from his and his buddies at the DLC and the damage they have done…….
Bill Clinton! if you are a right winger then you cannot get past the BJ……..if you are a centrist Dem then you worship him for returning those Reagan Democrats back to the fold….but if you are natrue Progressive you feel the pain of the soul being ripped out of the Democratic Party by Clinton and his DLC cronies……Oh, i am sure there are those out there that will take exception to my statement and I will defend my assertion…….
In 1992 with the election of Bill Clinton as president I warned people that they should hold their approval for awhile for I saw a screwing coming…….boy did I catch Hell….more so than I did when I warned people that there would be NO change coming with the election of Obama………but I got to utter the 4 most beautiful words in the English language….”I Told you So”!
So why do I dislike Clinton? Simple he with the assistance of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) handed the Democratic Party over to corporate America…..they made outsourcing lucrative…….they made the 2008 recession possible by the repealing of Glass-Steagall…….they allowed and lead the attack on poor people……they also helped labor become the dirty word it is today……and their damn foolish free trade acts killed American jobs…….
A true Democratic Party is dead! Clinton and the DLC took the party and began dismantling everything that it stood for and worked for in the past. Thanx to these asshats the Democratic Party has its mouth fixed permanently to the buttocks of corporate America and moved the Dems firmly to the right of center for decades to come. Unfortunately the party shall never return to its roots……why? Corporate America will not allow it!
Progressives and liberals should find another party to associate with in the future…….the DP is almost as conserv as the GOP…….the party that had a soul has been crucified on a pile of cash…..and driving the nails were the Clintons and the DLC.
So….NO! I have NO use for him….no matter how much good he is supposedly doing with his cash cow…the Global Initiative.
What we need is a true “Liberal” party……..the one we have now is not doing the job………

Finally, an honest liberal. I always told that was my opinion of you lobotero.
I would debate your statement that the Dems moved right, but that is for another day. As for the heart of your post I would say I am pleased to see you feel the same way about the Democrats as I do about the Republicans.
The funny part is that I voted for Bubba in 92, you don’t want to know my age at the time, and was all supportive of the Democrat message of changing Washington. I stopped falling for it by 2000 and that’s when I woke up to the reality that there is no political “party” that wants to change Washington. They are all controlled by the same people and it is not the working class Americans.
One last kudo, they made the 2008 recession possible by the repealing of Glass-Steagall. I agree 100% with you on this one. Of course the republicans are the ones that passed the repeal through congress but Clinton had his chance to stop it and instead signed his name to it.
Oh, and as far as the bj goes… who care. I have no respect for anyone that cheats on their spouse and that is were my problem with him settles on that incident. If Hillary was the one with the cigar in the oval office I may be out their campaigning for her, but she let someone else take her place and that shows a lack of a needed backbone to be president.
FL, I appreciate the props…let’s not forget the damage his damn silly NAFTA has done also….
Not bad … I think the Republican party is about as liberal as the Democrat party though. I am glad to see you understand it isn’t just Republicans who’s had their lips plastered on the a$$es of corporate America. The United States has been sold out by both parties.
I hope you will eventually understand though that Republicans and conservatives are two vastly different entities. Thanks for your time.
No need to hope….I already am well aware of the difference…I have been writing about it for awhile……Repubs are more neo-liberal than conservative but in today’s world people are looking for the shortest answer……
Thanx for the compliment….much appreciated….chuq
