The Politics Thread

[Maximum]

In a New York Times column this past Sunday, Bill Clinton defended himself with his Marc Rich pardon, claiming there was no quid pro quo. You know, as opposed to his usual scandals where he claims there's no 'quid pro ho.

There's plenty of other stuff to throw at the Clinton Administration. If you don't believe me....

How many of you remember President Clinton? You wouldn't have thought it looking at President Clinton that he liked art, but he and his wife Hillary stole about 70 pieces. In fact, the only still life he didn't take was Al Gore.

I do? Perhaps because I was born during his presidency? And that I learned a lot about politics from hearing about him?

It was how I learned not to listen to biased news channels like Fox News.

And as for the stealing art conviction, where's your proof? I'm not going to believe a word you're saying until I see proof.

And another thing! How is this still worse than Watergate!? Stealing is bad sure, but stealing your rights as a citizen of the United States sure isn't the same thing!

Hahaha, you're so clever I should give you a nickle.

Like I give a forget. You can throw stuff at him sure, but you still can't amount up to the problems with Nixon.

I'll think of sumfin.

How old is everyone here?

Just would like to remind people about how Nixon helped to make China not hate us, thereby hurting any chance the USSR would have of successfully teaming up to kick our asses.

Not that I am siding with this maximum fella here.

No! You won't! That's what I'm trying to get through to you! What Nixon did was so horribly bad it can't be topped. And I know for a fact you wouldn't be slinging anything if Clinton had been a republican. You're so party biased, I bet you think shows like Glenn Beck and Hannity are "real news".

[Maximum]

Look at the above reply. Compare the two. Nixon so bad now? Hey, go forget Hannity, Glenn Beck is real though.

[Ladios]

Seeing the most recent set of "points" by maximum, I declare he is nothing but a 12 year old troll who thinks he is funny and should probably be going to bed right now.

Oh no you're right. Nixon did accomplish a good deal when he was president, just the whole Watergate part sorta leaves a bad taste in your mouth, eh?

[Maximum]

I would think that $28,000 missing antiques from the White House kinda owns Nixon's no-damage scandal.

What the forget are you talking about!

You seriously need a lesson in our government.

Ok, first word: Politics. What does that derive from? Policy. What does that mean? You're stance on how you should run the government.

Clinton liked to party, Nixon liked to cheat elections. Tell me, which one is more dangerous to your freedoms?
