8. If you want to slam the Clintons...

...The thing to do is NEVER OMIT mention of Clinton's zealous support
of: NAFTA, GATT, 1996 TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT, REPEAL OF GLASS-STEAGALL ACT,
and ADOPTION OF NEWT GINGRICH'S WELFARE PLAN.

I realize Clinton's adoption of the title of World's 1st Black President
was overly-persuasive to some, and an insult to others.

But folks, elected office is ultimately about POLICY.

NAFTA, GATT, 1996 TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT, REPEAL OF GLASS-STEAGALL ACT,
and ADOPTION OF NEWT GINGRICH'S WELFARE PLAN are POLICY.

Image can be important, obviously.

But POLICY is what affects our lives most.

And it is POLICY where the Clintons are, in reality,
very very very very vulnerable.
