I do not see a logical question here. You use the word "question"
when it comes to Bush, and by the way I never said it was wrong
to "question" a president - I said BASH. Where did you goto debate
class Mario's school of twisting people's remarks?
Then in the Clinton model you use "did I support" and added a few
extra's like "aggressively like I supported Bush."
Being that the question is not a comparison, because the elements
have no parity, I will out of respect answer what I think the
question is.
Presidents, no matter who, should not be political fodder during a
time when our troops are engaged in a war. The Terrorists are using
all of this to recruit new terrorists.
Now Bush, show me over his last 6 years how many times I have written
an editorial in the Asbury Park Press, or any other newspaper, for
that matter in support of President Bush! Don't waste your time,
never.
I did however do one in a Washington DC paper at the start of the
shift from Afganistan to Iraq.
I will say, I only had two problems with Clinton during his 8 years.
I did not like the way he handled Somalia, and Black Hawk Down is a
good movie about that event. More so he lost me completely, when he
looked into the eyes of the Nation on TV and lied to us all.
However, show me a post here or a letter to the editor in any
newspaper, where I voiced my displeasure with him? Again don't waste
your time, I never did! Even though at that time I was a registered
Republican.
Now in fairness, Clinton did something I benefit from cause on
September 20, 2000, or was it the 22 ND, either one of those two
dates. I was called and invited down to the White House when he
signed The Religious Land Use & Institutionalized Person's act of
2000. Unfortunately I was on other business, and coul dnot attend.
I had spent pretty much the whole summer down there walking the halls
to get support for RLUIPA.
With him signing it, I gave him a better grade than he had with me
before that date. I was grading him pretty high on economy, however
that changed when VP Gore revealed that it was Gore who actually
invented the Internet, and I felt technology was the driver of the
economic up swing.
I answered your question once before when you first asked about The
Balkens, I told you I couldn't attribute american troops action to
that police action, becasue it was a committment through the UN, no
this independent decision.
Besides Bill Clinton was not a left wing liberal.
