Clinton definitely was a better president than Bush II. will ever be. Clinton is so much more human than the monster the D$A currently have rubbing his fat lazy ass on the throne of the US empire.

Divided $tates of America. Divided because it is very far from "United" on just about all issues and $tates because of the rampant capitalism and oppression of the people by those who have money.

"oppression of the people by those who have money"
too bad you are among the 95% who cant oppress someone else due to being obscenely rich. Consider yourself lucky... or unlucky.. depending on what you'd like to do.

No. You are not obscenely rich,thus why you cant oppress anyone.

Gotcha.

The only people I can financially opress are bums, and even if I tried, they'd just likely throw thier own feces at me, and scare me off.

You do realize you just said two different things. We either have the lowest unemployment rate in 10 years (which means of every year since, we have the lowest rate), or that the rate is lower than in 1994 (which may or amy not be true, I do not have the unemployment figures for 1994 on hand).

Eh I did not word it properly, The unemployment rates of 94 were higher than those of 98 but so far in 04 they are lower than 98. I suppose the 94 unemployment rates wernt needed.

Corporations strong-arm politicians in other countries just like in the US. It is "either give us cheap workforce or we will move elsewhere". At the rate the US and European countries are losing jobs, China and the like must be a work paradise right now. Corporations want profit, nothing else. Rich people want to see their money increase on its own, nothing else. Rich people will save the grants they get from weak governments and poor people will have no benefit from so called "tax cuts". The oppression is that you must work for whatever price a corporation is willing to pay you, or starve. Many countries have slowly collapsing welfare programs to reduce the most horrible suffering - death from starvation. Corporaitons do not care at all how poor living conditions of their workers are nor how struggling an economy is. They want profit, at least cost. Its modern slavery, nothing else. Government enforced slavery which grows ever stronger, the more globalized the world economy becomes.

This is mis-leading however, becuase the Unemployment rate in 1998 was falling (it was at 5.8% afaik, today it is 5.5%), from the massive unemployment rates of Reagan/Bush I, today, it is not coming down from anything, it's rising.

1. Who gives the government the right to strong-arm a corparation. To make them stay in one place.
2. It's not the corparations responsibility to curb poverty, Its the governments.
3. Not everyone works for a corparation.
4. Enlighten me as to what you would do with the rich?

I'm against the uncontrolled capitalism that grips the world more and more. I'd welcome a communist system that is well thought out and encourages humans to work for the "greater good". Star Trek has a good system - the removal of money would be a good start.

Yes, it did go off topic. And i have a few things to say. Im not gonna bad mouth Clinton. He was a good president. So dont say that I said I hated him. He did get us a surplus. He got us jobs. *But* he wasnt a good predident for anything past 9/11. Lets face it, he was a wimp. He had plenty of warnings to terrorist attacks, or so i heard in another link, and he did very little or nothing to stop it. Now i cant say Bush was the greatest president either, but he at least did something, unlike Clinton would have done. Ill admit, sometimes he didnt have the best judgement at times, but look at yourselves! Your running simulations! And dont say thats pointless, because its not. If your accually trying on your simulations and your country is crap you shouldnt say anything. Seriously. Because what do you know? Bush wasnt a bad president, neither was Clinton.

Money = Incentive to work and shows your merits. Human nature does not allow communism to exist because humans are naturally greedy and will not settle for fairness for all, all it takes is one charasmatic person to sway the masses against you if things start to go south.

well if it was between clinton and bush i'd certainly rather
have clinton any blessed day of the week

but peter camejo, dennis kusenich or jerry brown are who i'd
really like to see.

more important then who is what, meaning policy,
international, energy, transportation, education,
environment (which energy and transportation are really
insepperable from), health and human services, even
constitution itself.

we need the voters to have the veto power, not some
president, other then in times of real emergency and even
then within limets, we need to NOT have our attourny general
being the president's pet.

we need a government that will conform to international law
and a u.n. with teeth to enforce it.

we need a u.n. that doesn't make the most militarily
powerful nations, our (u.s.) own included, more equal then
others

we need instant runnoff elections instead of an electoral
college, and if we're going to have electronic voting,
people should be able to do that from home over the
internet, in real time, all the time, including realtime
access to what is going on in congress and being able to
put our own two cents in.

we need lots of things
what we don't need is a world dictatorship
run by corporate feudalism
and mafia 'family' values
that mr shrubery seems to be the hood orniment
and poster child, of.

Well in Europeans it's quiet simple :
When Clinton came to belgium for giving a speach :
The hall was too small for all people who want to hear him speak.
When Bush came to Belgium for giving a speach :
The hall was too small for all the security that must keep the protesters outside.
Europe wants back to United States of America, europe don't like the United States of Agression.

.../\... Electoral College is there to give smaller states representation and not letting larger states have all the powers its checks and balances. Most people have no idea about vetoing bills, and having an election on every bill that gos through congress would be ridicoulous and wouldnt be represented by the masses. Canejo and Kucinich are too liberal for America. ( I was amused by Canejo's speach about opening up the borders between California and Mexico)

Projected surplus.
FACT:

http://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/27/clinton.surplus/

President Clinton announced Wednesday that the federal budget surplus for fiscal year 2000 amounted to at least $230 billion, making it the largest in U.S. history and topping last year's record surplus of $122.7 billion.

"Eight years ago, our future was at risk," Clinton said Wednesday morning. "Economic growth was low, unemployment was high, interest rates were high, the federal debt had quadrupled in the previous 12 years. When Vice President Gore and I took office, the budget deficit was $290 billion, and it was projected this year the budget deficit would be $455 billion."

Why do people keep denying this happened?
