Meanwhile, how dare anyone question Gary Hart for his.
Clinton's presidency was damaged because of his indiscretions
Hart's presidency never existed because of his.

Just sayin'

On edit: Oh, I see now. This is in reference to the thread where you posted "You mean that guy with the bimbo? Yawn." I think that does cut both ways.

2. Bill Clinton managed to turn an affair into lying under oath
and impeachment which sucked 2 years of his Presidency into irrelevance.

Gary Hart's indiscretions hurt only him and his family.

3. The Gingrich Republicans were casting about for a reason to impeach
If it wasn't the Lewinsky shit it would've been something else sooner or later. These people were so twisted with hate it was unbelievable.

6. Bill Clinton sure turned a hat trick didn't he.
Couldn't have been the evil Republicans that Obama has conveniently forgot....oh maybe it was.
Maybe there is a reason I don't want to play nice with them.

8. Richard Melon Scaife and millions of his dollars made that happen. Bill Clinton left office with a
65% APPROVAL RATING! The people of this country loved Bill Clinton and HATED what the repukes did to him. And technically, he did not lie under oath. He was given the definition of "sexual relations" and a BJ was NOT part of the definition. Besides that, it's none of your fucking business if he had an affair.

10. A federal judge found him guilty of contempt for giving intentionally false testimony
Bill Clinton was fined $1,202 and was ordered to pay $79,999 to Jones's lawyers. He was also ordered to pay $9,484.93 to Whitehead and the Rutherford Institute. Clinton did not fight this ruling.

5. Don't get me started on Gary...
I got into a fight in the fifth grade defending him against A kid who swore up and down that Reagan was God. Since I knew next to nothing about either, I supported Gary because his name was "neat", thus being supplied with a black eye. Only other thing I recall is a picture of a yacht and he wasn't running anymore. He owes me!

7. I wasn't a big Clinton fan but I defended him on the Lewinski matter
I don't think someone's sexual activities should be a matter of public inquiry or concern. It's private. It should never even have reached the point of questioning Bill Clinton about it under oath. People from foreign countries were shaking their heads over the Lewinski affair because they don't really care who their leaders are screwing, as long as they don't screw the people.

11. Joe Biden would be embarrassed by your post
You piss all over Gary Hart and his bimbos, get called on your hypocrisy, and then attack the people who exposed your bullshit. With a picture of Biden in your sig line, a man who would never pass moral judgment on anybody. The Hillary people are really turning out to be sad excuses for human beings.

12. Ruh Roh. I don't think anyone "called me out on my hypocrisy"
I just think it is hilarious how once someone endorses Obama or trashes Hillary they are raised to deity status.
Beyond reproach.

14. You're just showing your ignorance
and your Biden pic doesn't fool me.

Gary Hart is highly respected, especially in international security and foreign policy. Maybe you should read Hart-Rudman and then apologize and shut your pie hole.
