Bill Clinton makes Reagan look like an amatuer. At least what
Reagan did, he did in an effort to prevent the spread of Communism,
and finish fighting the cold war. Ronnie really DID think of the
Soviets as an enemy to be defeated on or off the battlefield. He just "forgot"
some things are against the law in peacetime or war. I'm not
justifying what was done, just adding the context of when and why. So,
whats Bill Clintons context of why he has done all these
unethical (and maybe illegal) things? I also wonder what Clinton
has done that will never see the light of day due to the deaths of
Vince Foster and Mr. Brown??? We may never know how much of a
crook he really is. As to all of those who fuss about ADM
supporting Dole, some of BCs biggest supporters are Wal-Mart
and Tyson! So no one can truthfully say EITHER party has not
sold out to big business. Its just that you hear about the
Dole connections, but not so much of the Clintons. Its pretty bad when
the best people Americans can choose for President as a
life-time gov't offical (Dole), an unethical con-man (Clinton)
a billionarie with a authoritarian attitude, another unethical
small time con-man (Browne) and a few others even further out
from mainstream America. Maybe we should cancel the election
for lack of qualifed candidates and start all over again with
the primaries. Either way, looks like we are stuck with the
lesser of two "evils". Maybe this is the year that Mickey
will finally get enough votes to get the FEC funding to run
for prez on the Disney Ticket in '00...
