THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY by Bill Clinton was the worst experienced under any incumbent president since Grover Cleveland. Here are some of the stats:

- GOP seats gained in House after Clinton became president: 48

- GOP seats gained in Senate after Clinton became president: 8

- GOP governorships gained after Clinton became president: 11

- GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president: 1,254 as of 1998

- State legislatures taken over by GOP after Clinton became president: 9

- Democrat officeholders who became Republicans since Clinton became president: 439 as of 1998

- Republican officeholders who became Democrats: 3

CLINTON'S SCANDALS, going far beyond Monica Lewinski, was a major liability for Al Gore in 2000, far more so than Ralph Nader. According to the According to the 2000 exits polls:

- 60% of voters disapproved of Clinton as a person

- 59% - including some who approved of him - disliked him

- 68% said he would go down in the history books for his scandals rather than for his leadership

- 44% thought the Clinton scandals were important or somewhat important. In contrast, only 28% thought Bush's drunk driving arrest was important or somewhat important.

- 15% of those who had voted for Clinton in 1996 voted for Bush in 2000.

CLINTON LAID THE FOUNDATION for the excesses of the war on terror in a number of ways:

- He conducted a deadly and lawless raid on the Waco compound including the use of the military in civilian law enforcement.

- In the wake of Oklahoma City, the Clinton administration proposed restricting habeas corpus and increasing wiretaps.

- As Doug Bandow reported in the National Review, Clinton "essentially sought to eliminate the requirement of a warrant for searches from the Fourth Amendment. The president claimed to possess 'inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches for foreign intelligence purposes.' The administration required public-housing residents to sign away their constitutional right that authorities procure a warrant to search their dwellings and personal property. The Justice Department backed warrantless (indeed, suspicionless) drug tests for high-school athletes. The administration requested greater FBI authority to conduct "roving wiretaps," without a court order.

- "The administration was tougher than its predecessor on drugs. Marijuana arrests were up 50 percent over Bush-41 . . . When asked about the criticism that sellers of crack were being punished far more severely than those who peddled cocaine, the president responded that penalties for the latter - which already ensured that minor drug dealers spend more time in jail than do many armed robbers, rapists, and murderers - should be raised. . .

- "The Clinton-Gore administration advanced additional thuggish policies and proposals - curfews for kids, random drug tests for welfare recipients and kids seeking drivers licenses, attacks on the requirement of a jury trial,. . . attempts to gain court sanction for uncompensated property takings, prosecutions implicating the double-jeopardy clause, pretentious claims of federal criminal jurisdiction, infringements of the Second Amendment right to possess a firearm, et al."

FINALLY THERE IS A REASONABLE hypothesis that Clinton may have contributed - along with Bush - to creating conditions favorable for the September 11 attacks. These are things for historians to argue about but they should at least be on the table:

- Clinton at the end of his term declared the Mid East peace negotiations a failure. Combined with Bush's indifference to the matter these signs from America may have signaled that there was no longer any progress to be made through diplomacy.

- While the official report declared the downing of TWA 800 to be the result of a plane malfunction, other investigators think there is a likelihood that it was a terrorist attack. This is a theory but, so by the government's own admission, is its own conclusion. What is stunning about this is that, having reached its conclusion, the government did not set about a massive retrofitting of airplane fuel tanks but rather instituted massive change in passenger screening at airports. In other words, the official conclusion and official response were completely at odds. If TWA 800 was, in fact, a terrorist attack, what effect did its cover up have on September 11?

My Mother used to warn us that "You are known by the company you keep."

So, what does Clinton's circle of friends say about him?

Good, interesting post...

I watched the speeches given by H.W. and W. at the opening ceremony. I give them both credit for keeping a straight face.

It was classic when Clinton recognized Kerry in his speech, yet couldn't pick him out as he was just another face in the crowd of LOSERS.

Last night Fox aired an old interview of Clinton where he was blaming the MSM, "don't go there with me after what you did to me, don't even go there."

Well, knowone would go there if he did not go there first. Clinton has a selective memory and is a narcissist....alot like skerrry I would say.

His library will be cleaned up to tell the truth no matter how he lies and denies it. The Historical Artifact/Records Committee is a private sector organization that will go in and remove some of his crap and put the real deal in there. Clinton is such a fool. Still trying to get away with it.......

[scotty61]

doll, if you saw what I did, that was a recent interview done with Peter Jennings at the dedication of the library. It goes to show that Clinton still blames others for his own failings and considers himself a victim. Of course to swallow this you have to believe he was victimized by Paula Jones, Kathlene Wiley, Jennifer Flowers and Anita Broderick as well. "Don't go there", someone needs to remind this self-inflated bag of wind that he is not in any position to demand that we must think of as demands we should. I think Bill showed the temper of a spoiled kid that he has been rumored to have.

You surely won't find a list of the names of who contributed the millions it took to build the place. And unlike campaign funds, that list doesn't have to be made public!
Chinese connection?
Hillary will run her campaign from there, back to her southern Christian roots? She did more interviews from there in the last week than she did in four years. And as far as we are concerned, all the millions already donated, and will be donated are going to the library, not Hillary.
Nice loophole I would say.

Charles Krauthammer summed up the Jennings interview in this way:

He's a narcisistic little boy who still believes that it's all about me (or words to that affect).

He and his minions still hold the elitist view that "We know what is best for the country."

Can we really fathom the destruction that will be done to this country if the clintons are allowed back into the Whitehouse????

THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED !!!!

Hillary is already starting her "makeover". The charade has started. She's going to try to paint herself as this middle of the road, Christian, southern Democrat.

BUt you know what's scary? There's alot of people who will buy it. People can be so stuuupid

BTW, something else you won't find in the Clintoon Library is a nice framed picture of Web Hubbel. Since he's Chelsea's real father, Bill doesn't think too highly of him. Don't believe me?

Someone post a picture of ole Web and Chelsea side by side. You'll see.
