Executive Orders

I did find information about Clinton going to Moscow as a student. Here's an excerpt from the article I read:

Mr Clinton 's week-long visit to the Soviet capital, 23 years ago, had been part of a 40-day winter holiday touring Germany and Scandinavia while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. But Mr Clinton 's entire student experience, evading the Vietnam draft, taking part in anti-war demonstrations in Britain, and now the Moscow tour, are being conflated by the Republicans as something far more sinister.


It did not say that Clinton demonstrated against the war while in Moscow and there's no information about Hillary going over there at all. Clinton did protest the war while in Great Britain. Since I was around back in those days, I knew far too many people who opposed that war to hold a grudge against each and every one of them. I had members of my immediate family who were either pro-war or anti-war and they argued over it all the time. Some of them even protested in public. I had relatives that served there and friends that died there. As a matter of fact, history has proven the protestors were right, so I can't see any reason whatsoever to be angry with them at this point in time. They helped end the war earlier than it would have ended otherwise. They may have saved a lot of American soldiers lives by their protests.

I do agree with you that soldiers who are in the fray should be supported with the best equipment and weaponry available and given the best opportunity for a victory once they are sent there. I support that idea completely. And I also would like Obama to have kept his promise to close down Gitmo, even if he had to do it with an executive order. We need to get out of Afghanistan today- waiting until tomorrow is waiting a day too long, IMO. Obama hasn't kept his promises, I agree with you on that.

That's one reason I can't figure out why Republicans hate him so much. He has not been a liberal over the last 5 years and I don't think he will start being one now. Hillary isn't a liberal either and neither was Bill.
Liberals are people like Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean. I'd rather either of them be president than either Obama or Hillary.

Otter, I don't care how many women Clinton had sex with.  The biggest thing I dislike about him, and his f'ing wife is that they BOTH went to Russia and protested AGAINST our military during the Vietnam War after our military was sent in by Kennedy, another Democrat.

Again, the biggest problem is Reid and Pelosi doing everything possible for the ILLEGAL aliens, no matter how much it hurts the taxpayers..  I would LOVE changing the tax system to a national sales tax, so at least the ILLEGALS would be paying taxes on everything they buy, just like the legal citizens instead of paying NO income taxes..  

Clinton did nothing wrong legally until he raised his hand under oath and lied...perjury plain and simple...Doesn't matter what the lie was about when it comes time to make a statement under oath you're accountable for that statement and that's what got him disbarred...For most it wasn't about the skanks or the bimbo erruption it was perjury...

A lot of people try to deflect by ignoring the lies under oath - you're right, that's what most folks found repulsive. And there were many other lies that kept the C's jumping from story to story but progressives memories are short when it comes to one of their own. Unlike their LONG memory of Bush's "mistakes". In short, they are hypocrites like Pelosi whining that "we didn't treat Bush this way". Now that massive lie should be awarded the most idiotic statement of the century award.
