But the democrats blind allegence to the Clintons is almost scary. It should tell you something about them when numerous huge name democrats (Kennedy, Leahy etc.) are shunning them for a four year jr. senator, whos platform is made up of buzzwords.
No, the most important point, as decided by the author of the ridiculous email, was that Clinton forced Atta to go free. However, it was a completely different Atta than the one connected to the 9/11 attacks.

The reason I didn't spend more time refuting it was not because it cannot be refuted. It's more due to the fact that anyone, left or right, who will swallow these BS emails uncritically isn't really worth the 15 minutes it takes to craft a detailed response. They aren't interested in truth, only in anything that will reinforce their own views.

As to your post, I don't really understand it. The Democrats have a "blind allegiance" to the Clintons, yet many high profile Dems have endorsed Obama. Obama's running just behind Clinton in national polls. That doesn't make up blind allegiance to me. I'd say Democrats have a healthy respect for the job Bill Clinton did, and for good reason. He left our country in a much better position than it was in when he inherited it.

If one notices, there are few Bush supporters left. They are certainly the minority now.
They seem to have this need to continue to blame Bill Clinton.
I find it hilarious.

Don't kid yourself. I've not been pleased with Bush but to think Clinton has ZERO to do with the situation we are in today is asinine.

I can not believe you are still saying Bush Lied. I guess you need to see all the Defeatcrats' quotes about Iraq, said years before Bush became president. I'll find the quotes, but in the meantime, just enjoy the 1992 video. In 1992, Bill Clinton and his beautiful wife Hillary knew this information as well.
so what are you wanting us to do? Vote straight republican in november?

No, I'd say Clinton gets the lionshare of the credit for what happened in the 90's. The divided government certainly helped in putting us in the financial position we were in, until Bush and the Republican congress showed how meaningless their commitments to balanced budgets really were.

Reagan proved deficits don't matter, after all.

One thing puzzles me. How do Clinton's sleazy morals make Bush more competent?
