You do not know your history, and simply rely on worn out partisan stereotypes to formulate your world view.

I'm not your teacher. If you are so lacking in general political knowledge, I suggest you look it up yourself.

I'll even give you a starting point.

In 1996, he signed a Republican welfare reform bill, even though he didn't agree with all parts of it. Specifically, cuts in the food stamps program and denial of benefits to undocumented immigrants.

This bill added a work requirement and set limits with regard to the length of time they are allowed to receive assistance.

To stop this Senate run I am going to use the same radio station that those djs did when they pretended to be the French President and I will call her.

"Ms. Palin this is GOD. ( "Oh Oh Oh I'm so happy to meet you I've heard so much about you" the little twit will respond) "I speak because I have a calling for you in your life!"

Obviously you are unaware of the unwritten rules of the forum..without a link to back up what you say, its just BS. This prevents people from making outrageous claims. Got it? So please provide a link to back up your rhetoric.

There are some things that are "common knowledge", and Clinton's welfare reform is one of them, among those who follow that stuff.

If Sarah Palin runs against Lisa Murkoswki in the next Senate election in Alaska, her chances of winning will be very good. And no, I'm not a supporter.

And for those who dont "Follow that stuff"? I asked politely for a link..and instead get an inconsiderate response...sorry if I dont know every little insignificant fact about Clinton. I for one dont recall what the last poster was talking about, so I asked for a link so I could read up about it.

Funny you mention this, because I was thinking about this the other day.

When I am out in public (I travel a lot within my state and some of the surrounding states for work), sometimes these sort of discussions pop up. No one demands links.

You told him w/o a link it was BS. That's not exactly "polite". Welfare reform wasn't exactly "insignificant". I'm not Clinton's greatest supporter, but he did do more than have sex with interns, which is what some people were so obsessed with.

Mostly those who were jealous, probably.
