		<description>Remember Barry Goldwater?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once a staunch conservative who stood for, of all things, moderate conservative values.  Somewhere in there he managed to get buried under a sea of misinformation and lost his partys faith and trust and leadership.  As a result the party swung much farther right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enter Bill Clinton.  A somewhat far left who managed to keep that under wraps and keep his party somewhat to the right of the far left.  Enter Barak Obama.  Exit Bill Clinton.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bill Clinton and Barry Goldwater were not saints.  They were not perfect but they both stood for trying to keep the party on a somewhat steady course.  They both failed because of a desire by both parties to go left, go right but by no freakin means go down the center.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sad.</description>

		<description>Of course Clinton is going to be mad about the report. It puts him in the worst possible light-- highlighting his faults and ignoring his many good qualities. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also ,the timing could not be worse for his wife&#039;s faltering campaign for the nomination. It is another nail in the coffin, and if nothing else, the Clintons have always fought bitterly to the very end.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I admire those qualities in them, but will be glad when the nomination saga is over-- it feels as though we have already had the election! Hopefully, we can go back to the normal timeframe for primary elections in &#039;12 and not repeat this freaky media circus. A 24 month long campaign is too long, too expensive and eventually exhausts even the most motivated voters.</description>

		<description>Purdum&#039;s peace was tawdry, and in Clinton&#039;s place, I would be angry, too.&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m pretty sure he&#039;s doubly agnry because by going after him, this is intended to hurt Hillary, as well.&lt;br&gt;When Clinton gets angry, it&#039;s always over-the-top.&lt;br&gt;But when over-the-top  attacks are hurled at  him, it;s so santimoniously justified.&lt;br&gt;Whatt hypocrisy.!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Clinton has flaws, like every single public person has.&lt;br&gt;On the whole, and despite numerous errors and missteps, , the Clinton years were pretty darn good years, especially when compared to today.  &lt;br&gt;We didn&#039;t have rule by by executive order.&lt;br&gt;Government Agencies were not an extension of the Dem. Party.&lt;br&gt;The DOJ was a politically independent department of professionals.&lt;br&gt;The US did not practixe torture or arrange for the disappearance of detainees.&lt;br&gt;Civil rights were on a healthy course.&lt;br&gt;In his post-preisdency years, in addition to accumulating personal wealth, Clinton has also spent tons of time and energy on humnitarian  and  other non-profti tprojects.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet, the Cinton hatred goes on unabated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Personally, I would rather GWB stashed a woman in every bedroom of the WH  than what his upstanding, Christian life style has led him to do.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get a grip, and get some perspective,, folks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a hatred psychosis epidemic loose in the country.  &lt;br&gt;We are no longer able to simply say what is good and bad  about a perosn. Spot a weakness or two, and we have to destroy the entire person!  That&#039;s truly sick.&lt;br&gt;In that we are in the business of destroying our own, that&#039;s also truly unpatriotic.</description>

<p>The irony of Clinton&#39;s anger at the media is that his first election in &#39;92 would never have happened had the media not boosted him [and given undeserved credibility to  third-party nutjob Ross Perot].</p>

		<description>Clinton&#039;s getting mad at a report doesn&#039;t bug me too much. I don&#039;t think it says all that much about him either way. However, his perception of what&#039;s going on in the media is rather troubling. Of course, he&#039;s not running for office.</description>

		<description>I have no doubt that the national media, The GOP and 1/2 of the Democats want to be rid of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You have a power struggle going on within the democratic party which is a knee jerk reaction to what the GOP has attemped to do for the last several years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe that just as the GOP ultimately failed to take the country right that in effect the Democrats will fail in their attempt to take the country left.  We are a country that was born and destined for greatness.  No country that is too far into extremes ever goes there and remains there long.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Centrist, moderate.  Civil and compassionate is what makes America great.  Obama is striking that Chord in everyone.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My problem with him is that his base is far left, his voting patterns are far left and his agenda has been far left.  I believe in the end he will reveal himself to be anything but a moderate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then......welcome to GWB&#039;s world of &quot;YOU SCUM SUCKING.......blah..blah...blah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sad.</description>
