Open Left

You are getting an AMEN from ME... (4.00 / 1)

Bill Clinton.  What can I type about this man?  A genious.  An exquisite orator.  A calculating, cunning man.  But, one who is flawed.  How?  Matt is right.  What about the Democratic Party?  What has he done to further our cause?  Yes, he languishes with the DLC, but who is talking about them lately?  This party is going left.  Why?  We must.  Everything that I grew up with, that my union parents worked hard for, is gone.  Yes, gone.  My nieces and nephews don't understand this.  The Democratic Party was the party that put an African American Family into the middle class status.  This is the party that walked with union members.  This was the party that made sure middle class families children had the "opportunity" to go to college.  This was the party that fought for us.  Over the past years, this party could be lumped as "Republican Lite".  There was no distinguishing differences between us and them.  We were just lumped together.  And Bill Clinton had alot to do with that.  He lost congress under his watch.  Passed so many bills, you would swear a Republican president, passed them.  And no, don't give him a pity party, he did that.  He does not get a pass.  Now, here we are 2007, and got to deal with him "again"?  No.  There are other candidates and we Democrats have options.  And we, dearly, need to use them.
