6. No, and it has nothing to do with his wife
I'm just over the Clinton myth. Just like the repukes have raised Ronald Reagan to mythological status, Democrats have done the same with Bill Clinton.

Yeah, the 90's seemed better compared to this decade, but what wouldn't? Truth is that the Clinton record included NAFTA, Don't Ask Don't Tell, Welfare "reform", the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which allowed FAUX Noize to exist, and AOL to buy CNN, the Indefensible Marriage Act, and the repeal of the Glass Stiegel act, which has a lot to do with the economic disaster that we're currently going through.

Clinton reality ain'r as sunny as the Clinton myth. And that's why I wouldn't vote for him again, even if it were possible.

8. No more DINOS
No more school uniforms.

No more NAFTA.

No more phony Welfare "reform"

No more media deregulation.

No more phony healthcare reform that keeps the pimps running the insurance rackets in business.

No more Monicas.

10. Why would I vote for someone who signed off on GATT and NAFTA?
I haven't voted for him since 1992.

17. No.
He's a DLC'er. That right off the bat disqualifies him in my book. He's done too much covering and cleaning for the BCF. Not only do we not need to go back to Clinton policy, we have some people who need to be held responsible for eroding the Constitution, our standing in the world, and get the people some justice. We would never get any of that with Bill.
