Did she ever apologize for claiming the "vast right wing conspiracy" was accusing Bill of sexual inpropieties with Monica Lewinski, after he admitted to it, later on? No.
Are you saying she should apologize for a right-wing conspiracy that exists and has but one objective -- to destroy her husband? If you have any doubts that such a movement exists, I strongly suggest that you read "The Clinton Wars" by Sydney Blumenthall. Read all the facts -- this conspiracy is not an illusion. What amazes me most is the lackadaisical attitudes of most people -- there is so much information out there but very few care to absorb it.
Bill Clinton lied about a BJ, which was an act between two consenting adults, private, and not something any of us would want to broadcast. If Monica wants to blow him, I say, so be it -- it's between them. Other than HIllary, it's no one's business; so I can understand her position. She stood by him even though he was not honest with her about the affair -- I still admire her loyalty.
As for Bill's sex lie, no one died from it. It was not an act of treason against this country. It was not a matter for public discussion either, but it's all the right-wing could get on him. On the other hand, Bush's lies are deadly serious and have resulted in dire consequences.
Bill Clinton gave us: the FMLA, the Women's Heatlth Protection Act, the Violence Against Women Act, EITC Tax Cuts which gave 15 million working families additional tax relief, proposed and passed the $1,500 HOPE Scholarship credits (making the first two years of college universally available for 6 million students), and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit (a 20 percent credit helping more than 7 million students offset tuition costs for college or lifetime learning; the single largest investment in Health Care for Children since 1965 ($24 billion State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)); HIPPA: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which helps individuals keep health insurance when they change jobs, guarantees renewability of coverage, and ensures access to health insurance for small businesses; the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) which protects the employment and re-employment rights of members of the military; Clinton appointed the First Women Ever to Serve as Attorney General, Janet Reno; and Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright; The Clintons also gave us: the most New Jobs Ever Created Under a Single Administration; Lowered Unemployment to its Lowest Level in More than 30 Years; and the Largest Surplus Ever: The surplus in FY 2000 was $237 billion, the third consecutive surplus and the largest surplus ever in history.
AND WHAT HAS PRESIDENT BUSH DONE SINCE IN OFFICE?
* lied about and forced us into an unjustified war; destroyed our good will with the rest of the world;
* created a record $374 billion budget deficit in 2003, the largest shortfall in history-- but for 2004, however, the deficit was expected to surge to more than $500 billion
*Bush pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol global warming treaty (reversed a campaign pledge to legislate limits on C02 emissions from U.S. power plants) and rejected safeguards that protect our families from arsenic in our
drinking water;
* Bush issued a proposal to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and made retractions on several environmental policies that were passed in the final days of the Clinton administration which were to cut
arsenic in water and protect roadless areas in national forests.
* Bush tax break plan-- 43% goes to the richest Americans. Some individuals will benefit to the tune of millions of dollars. To name two examples, Vice President Dick Cheney and Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill
will see income tax savings of $1.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. As a matter of fact, under this tax cut the top Bush administration officials, including the president, will see more than $88 million in tax saving.
So, Red, is that $200 you saved in taxes this year really worth it??
