Out of curiosity, what did Clinton do to destroy your faith in the Democratic party? Have sex with that woman? What conservative fiscal plan could top getting rid of the deficit?
OK...Clinton.....
Here it goes.
#1 Start off with cutting the reserves when he came into office. I watched people with 14-16 years in the Reserves being told they had to go become cooks, if they wanted a pension. I was pretty disgusted at how quickly people who had given years to their country were dismissed.
#2 The sex part did not bother me, good for him.
#3 The lying under oath bothered me. The fact that men and women in the service woudl be court marshalled for the same behavior, lying under oath, I find horrible. Obstruction of justice bothers me.
#4 The Pattern of sexual harrassment bothers me.
#5 The definition of what 'is" is disgusted me. The fact that if his name came up in school, 4th graders would chuckle. Try teaching students the value of the word INTEGRITY, RESPONSIBILITY ect. when he was demonstrating none of these qualities.
#6 Not having the integrity to step down for the good of the country, party, ect.
#7 Getting a BJ while ordering troops into harms way. THink about it. I believe he had ordered troops into Somalia or Hatti at the time.
#8 Affirmative Action Promotions in the FBI and CIA causing some of the best career people to resign from the agencies leaving us open to terrorism. (See BREAKDOWN, Bill Gertz)
#9 Bombing Targets in other countries when (see BREAKDOWN, Bill Gertz) there was no reason to do so. Clearly, wanted to take headlines off of himself.
#10 Dragging his family through the mess he created.
But, realistically, the Democratic Party should have taken care of him. And that, to me is the most offensive thing of all. They allowed him to maintain his power. If they had taken care of business, Al Gore would have won the election. He would have been a sitting president.
AS for our State. I have switched to the Republican Party because we live in a one party state where they (DEMS) have been taxing and spending. They have abused and corrupted their postions. I am very happy to see things be shaken up in our state. I see great things in the future for Mr. Romney, should he do a good job here. The jury is still out.
PS....I missed your post. Thanks for linking me up.
