	Doesn't anyone on this newsgroup want to talk about

	college student, but not until you hear me out...

[After reading the rest:] dismissed!!

	TELLING THE TRUTH:
	Hey look, I know that all politicians bend or color the
	truth a little sometimes, but Clinton really goes to
	extremes.  Hey, I don't care if I do not approve of something
	in someones' past (like draft dodging or pot smoking), but AT
	LEAST tell me the truth THE FIRST TIME when asked about such
	things.  And something I do not approve of - Demonstrating
	against one's country in another land.  A man of such poor
	values has no business in MY white house(yes, MY - I pay
	taxes).  Clinton, when asked about pot smoking on the MTV
	special said if he could go back he would have inhaled.  Do we
	need a man in the white house who makes light of illegal drug
	use?

So let me see if I understand you: if Clinton had inhaled and said
so, it would have been (1) ok because that would have sounded like
the truth and (2) bad because the truth would have been illegal.
I've got a question for you: What can Clinton do or say to satisfy you
about the pot smoking issue?  I'll bet that *nothing* can satisfy you.
So why attack him for not doing the impossible?

And as far as demonstrating against one's country inside or outside the
US is concerned, I'm proud to live in a country where we are FREE enough
to do just such things.  And I'm proud that we have Americans who are
courageous enough to exercise their freedoms before your kind can take
them away.

	TAXES:
	Why should the the rich get more taxes, come to think
	of it, why should anyone get more taxes?  "Tax and
	Spend" - that's Clinton (damn demo-rat).

You, I suppose, prefer Reagan/Bush "Borrow from the future and spend now"?
I'm old enough to remember when your kind believed in balanced budgets
and pay-as-you-go.  What happened?

	HEALTH CARE:
	I have the answer - Make all avenues of employment
	insure their workers by law.  BINGO, we all have
	insurance.  Whatever happend to "if you dont work you dont eat"
	- sounds like a good plan to me (neglect the disabled of
	course, that is understood).  What we do not need is socialized
	medicine.  I mean let me ask you, have you been to a hospital
	overseas? - I have been to several and they suck.  It is almost
	like a bus station, or any other public, dirty, hobo-hangout.

You have an "answer"?  That's an "answer"?

I have a couple of American friends who bought land near Chapel Hill
intending to live there when they retired from their jobs in Canada.
Then the reality of our medical system sank in and they realized that
they had to stay in Canada.  Fortunatly for them, because one had a
heart attack recently.

[More junk deleted]

	Nuff Said...

You finally got something right....
