Things that the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) had their hand in -- Oklahoma City Bombing, Waco Massacre, Vincent Foster, and much, Much, MUCH MORE!
Things that the Bush Family (Senior and Junior) have had their hand in -- September 11th Attacks, JFK Assassination, and Much, MUCH More!
Without reading otheres replys I will make an initial statement. I will probobly edit after I read others comments.
My take about Democrats is YES! they basically try to punish those who are successful and financially stable (like myself). They seem to want the few who have had financial success to have to carry the rest of the nation. I once heard that 10% of America pays 90% of the taxes. I can not confirm this but it makes sence. Think about the revenue generated from taxes from the saleries of NFL, MLBA, NBA players......and from high level exectuvites in the business world. Bill Gates probobly pays more taxes than some states as a whole! (completely unconfirmened but you get my drift).
Are they evil? Not in their heart but I think they prey on the majority of America. The majority of America isn't driving a new car let alone a Lexus or Porsche. There is also a major welfare reform act in the process (TANF). I'm all for getting people back on their feet and for educating people and having them be a productive part of their community. I fully support my tax dollars going for that.
What I don't want are my tax dollars going to people who continually have children out of wed-lock and expect me to support their kids (use a GD rubber), people who know that financially speaking you are better off and make more money on walfare than getting a job, or those who expect responsible people who can manage money and their life to have to bail them out for THEIR poor decisions.
Unfortunately very few can see things from my side - they automacially say I'm an insensitive prick. I fully support educating and helping people out. That is a very good policy but it gets abused immensely! Good welfare reform will make a better life for people and their families.
I watch "CrossFire" on CNN with an open mind. 9 times out of 10 I favor the Republicians because it just makes sense to me.

Sorry, have to say that the BAD economy was a product of the Clinton administration. For 8 years they allowed corporate leaders to act as they did. The Bush administration now has to act on and fix what the Clinton administration allowed for 8 years. Watch some CNN they make a lot of sense.
I again wonder if someone would have acted out against Hitler....... would we have had WWII? I don't know. Hind sight is 20/20.
I agree with most of the opinions here. Boy, what a level headed group.
TTBoy- Right on brother. Except for one thing. I prefer my news and news shows coming from FoxNews, they tell it straight and like it is, that's why liberals can't stand FoxNews. Liberals have always had a monopoly on the news networks, such as ABC, CBS and NBC, and lets not forget CNN (Clinton News Network).
I also prefer FOXNews over all the rest!
Dammit now I'm gona have to cheack out FOX News. Sigh I really liked CNN
I still crack up when people think there is a true difference in Dems and Reps- let's just call them "Republicrats" from now on. They are all whores in the capitalist gang-bang anyway.
Oh puh-leese! Frankly, you'll find a variety of people in all parties whether you like or not, and the democratic party is no exception. Calling someone "evil" because their party is, is like saying someone is evil because their religion is (I'm sure a lot of people here can find meaning in that illustration). As a democrat I'd prefer someone calling me a "poor, misguided soul" because my party is ideologically inferior to everyone elses, rather than being refered to as, ahem...evil. Right now, Democrats are putting a lot of presure on Bush regarding Iraq for all the right reasons. I believe if anything, Bush is under the right amount of scruitiny. George II is correct when he says a regime change is needed. He just has the country wrong: The regime change should be in the United States and not Iraq. It is not too early to be thinking about impeachment proceedings for massive abuse of power and lying to Congress and the American people. El Generalisimo Busho's charade that Iraq is a threat to the USA and bears responsibilty for the Sept. 11 attacks is ludicrous. If we are to go to war with Iraq it should be because we have to and not because George II wants, in some misguided manner, to finish what his father started. The United States has historically gone to war only against other countries when there was a significant or imminent military action which threatened our safety. The Bush administration has changed that strategy to selective opposition of opponents that have virtually no military capability to threaten us. This is infinitely advantageous from a political standpoint because there is no posibility for defeat. This combination of patriotism and hypocrisy typically has a thousand fathers, whereas tough wars are generally orphans. History has unfortunately placed the citizens of Iraq on a collision course with the Bush administration, which is not seeking to confront a threatening opponent, but to overthrow a weak one. With the exception of Colin Powell, the Bush administration is the largest collection of draft dodgers ever assembled in any presidential administration,and war always looks more exciting when the other guy is doing the fighting. Ulysses S. Grant said that in wartime all the tough talk takes place far to the rear, and generally vanishes as the troops get closer to the cannons. Bush's speech in front of the U.N. may have been noble, but he still has not one, single shread of evidence that Iraq ahs weapons of mass destruction. Believe me, if he did, I'd be right behind his daughters fighting in Iraq. If Bush wants to go to war against a country with an abominally poor human rights record and weapons of mass destruction, why doesn't he pick a bigger target like China or Saudi Arabia. It's a case of selective alliance with totalitarian dictatorships. A war with Iraq will be nothing more than a pre-election show...
I have a huge question:
Where were the U.S. Fighter Jets when the Hi-Jacked Jet was flying towards the Pentagon?
Tell me this why was it easy to find a job under Clinton?
