Democrats should be ashamed of Clinton, he was a serial adulterer, serial abuser of young women and intern, an impeached president, a certified liar, a lawyer who was disbarred.
I'd rather have guy as president who cheats on his wife and has a prosperous nation under him, than a man who's policies bankrupted the country and got us into 2 unnecessary wars, MADE A WHOLE LOT MORE ENEMIES FOR US, And put justice scalia on the supreme court. So If I were a republican I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF BUSH but then again I would just be ashamed of the whole party instead you keep smiling and laughing and patting one another on the back while saying job well done. The only good job your has done is show everyone in this country that you are a party of unamerican hateful zealots. Bush AND Cheney NEED TO BE TRIED IN COURT !

It was a political hit job
And you missed the part that the investigator knew about Armitage early on in the investigation and gave him a pass. He choose to continue the investigation even after the cause of the investigation had been solved. Wasn't close enough to Bush/Cheney. So Scooter couldn't accurately remember key details from several years back. Big deal. What did you eat for supper February 12, 2012? You give the wrong answer under oath and you've given false testimony. Who did you speak with on March 5, 2012 and what did you say?

Sorry, Clinton was the worst President of all time.

Don't forget he gave the Chinese repairs to both their missiles and guidance systems so now instead of an accident hitting Alaska, China can now hit any city around the USA with nukes. Thanks Bill, how much did they pay you.

He also had a balanced budget because of Greenspan who drove retirees into the stock market when they were going broke with 1% interest rates with their CDs.
The middle class and retirees went into the tech sector stock and the people with money cashed out and paid taxes.
The taxes were the balanced budgets but the aftermath of those people going in was the following stock market crash at the end of the Clinton term and most retirees had to go on welfare due to Greenspan, though Clinton loves to take credit.
If he wants to take credit for taxes coming in, he has to take credit for the crash as well and all those driven to welfare.
Also in 1997 he F'd with loans and banks and put in place what caused our RE bubble and sub-prime mess.
LOOK IT UP....

None of the above were due to Bush, though I am sure lots would try and make it so.

Bush did prescription meds and immigration wrong.

Can you explain something to me then ? If clinton did all this and were as bad as you think he was then where exactly were the republicans ? I know bush sr. drafted nafta and clinton unfortunately signed it, And why would china want to blow us up ? We are their biggest cash cow right now much easier to bankrupt us and to flood our markets with cheap chinese made garbage right ?

This is the first I've heard that Republicans are ashamed of Bush. Where'd you get this idea?

On the other hand, that Democrats embrace and celebrate a rapist, cheat, and liar, not to mention the recent addition of a fraud tells us a lot about Democrats.

As for Bush... he states he's returned to private life. He's not the first former President to have done so. More of them should. I guess he's not as much a money grubber as liberals might prefer.

I think he's afraid to come out in public, just like when he was in office.

His Father and Bill Clinton can come and go as they please and are well met by everyone. They are statesmen. He's a drug store cowboy.
He's the soul of the Republican Party.

Republicans don't wear their soul on their sleeves.

Living in your land of make-believe, where only republicans are bad, and democrats are saints. Clinton's personal behavior was an embarassment to the entire nation.

BTW, if you are going to grade a president on the economy he presides over, then 0bama is a complete and utter failure.

He mutually agreed that for the good of the party he was not attending the convention. Why is that? Why is his Presidency never referred to in speeches? Why is he not on the campaign trail? Whyy is 2000-2008 swept under the rug as if it was just a bad ****ing dream?

As far as I can tell, it is the singular subject on which they don't suffer collective cognitive dissonance and actually accept reality.

Not forgetting your tee time but forgetting about the economy is Obama. Hey, he said it.

He has abandoned this country for over 3 years now.

I'm not ashamed of him (Bush) at all. Further, he had the backing and go ahead of all the dems for the war on terror. Dems must have short memories.
