Bubba is twice the size of Wallace,points and jabs his finger at him and pokes his knee repeatedly! Real REGAL of the ex Pres,huh? Passionate and expressive? He went off on him...some debater. I'm sure one of the facts that you'll ignore is the interview with bin Laden in 1999 where he says they were surprised that America pulled out after BlackHawk Down! That same lack of resolve by you liberals is a great signal that the terrorists can win if they push hard enough. You are so starstuck by Bubba! As has been pointed out to you, Yemen was on Bubbas' watch, and oh by the way, 'W' won't be granting any MSMBS or CNN interviews, because He has a real JOB...not strutting around the globe at 150 G's a speech, pushing his revisionist history and thumping his chest. Yes, Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar...and still he did most of his thinking with his little head! My My. Authoritarian...better that then grovelling in fear that the World won't LIKE us if WE stand for our principles! The terrorist threat is more real now because the terrorists believe this country is weak. Heaven help them if the real 'silent majority' ever stands up! Troops are dying?? Troops have been dying for the very rights you have to speak your mind,whether you're right or wrong! This is the wrong side of Heaven for things to be all good! No conspiracy,kiddo! Just life! But, you are right....at least you should vote.

I have a question for you...Explain to me what a liberal is. Not all Dems are liberals, and not all Repubs are conservatives. In fact, right now, I think that it is the other way around in some topic areas. My mother can't stand Clinton, and even she saw that he was deliberately set up and Wallace was derogatory to him first. He did go off on Wallace, but what I saw was passion and enthusiasm, not hatred or meaness. He had an enthusiastic look in his eye, not a mean one. If you watched Wallace's reactions, you could tell that he was guilty as sin for setting it up. Let's look at the facts, it wasn't a debate...an interview, a setup. And of course Fox News was going to try to say Clinton went crazy after the fact...Sure, Clinton could have handled it better, but what he did was not necessarily wrong either.
Besides, there are many other people that have seen through the propaganda of the Republican party, and have seen the entire uncut interview, and agreed with me.
I'm not a liberal or a conservative 100% of the time. I'm both, depending on the topic. I am also neither a Dem or Repub. I am strictly center. But I do not like some of the things that the Bush administration is doing, and the Republicans definitely use their propaganda a little more harshly than the Dems do. I mean, the Dems don't have an Ann Coulter! I don't like parties. I think that they cloud a lot of people's minds. They are ALL for Repubs, or ALL for Dems. It drives me crazy because you can't talk to either side about good things that the other side is doing. From my experience, seems worse with the Repubs than the Dems though. If no one has ever read George Orwell's 1984, you need to read it. Great book. This actually happened in Nazi Germany. It could very well happen again.
By the way, the USS Cole, was attacked in late 2000. Neither Bush or Clinton did enough in my opinion, but Clinton did say he tried, so I will take it that he tried. Still, he obviously wasn't able to get the job done.
Also, about Black Hawk Down. Clinton got overwhelming pressure to pull out. The Repubs that are criticizing him now were putting the most pressure on him. This world may not be perfect, but what happens if everybody quits trying to do good and make it that way. Of course, it will never be perfect, but that doesn't mean that people like me aren't going to try to do some good.
Also, it is false that I am starstruck by Clinton. I don't like the man, but I think that he is a lot smarter than our president right now, and I think that our country was a lot better off economically when he was president.
Troops are dying and it is for a lost cause. All we are going to end up doing is replacing the old dictator with a new one. Real smart. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but Iraq is in a full civil war.
Bush is always thumping his chest. He thumps his chest every time he puts a little more fear into Americans when talking about terrorists. You are obviously scared to death. And it scares me that you are letting this fear overtake you. Do you know what comes after the authoritarian style? Are you saying that the U.S. should become a dictatorship? Do you actually know what an indirect democracy is?
