Personal Attacks? Come on, grow some. The Clintons were the very definition of personal attacks, and the Party of the ****** has adopted that mantra fully, as your response demonstrates.This is a deflection, it is an identification of what you stand for, thus ets cut to the chase in the conversation, eliminate the grandstanding, and try to work on solutions, not live on the mistaken belief that opposition in and of itself is a solution.



You remind me of a friend of mine. During Bill Clinton's presidency, whenever I would criticize him, this friend would respond with something about Reagan. Some people ,like you apparently, seem to be completely unable to separate the present from the past. Here's a news flash for you:
Bill Clinton is no longer president!! This board wasn't around then or you would have seen my observations about his administration. Every loyal citizen of this country has the responsibility to hold the leaders to an acceptable standard, and bring to light the shortcomings. Do not confuse loyal opposition for disloyalty to the country. Consider what some of our past leaders have said about this:

May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Criticism in a time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government.
~Sen. Robert Taft, (R) Ohio

Don't regard yourself as a guardian of freedom unless you respect and preserve the rights of people you disagree with...
~Gerard K. O'Neill

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official...
~Theodore Roosevelt

As soon as you start playing partisan politics to the fanatic level that some people do, you've become part of the problem. If you have something intelligent to add in support of the current administration, please do so. But spare me the "Clinton was an arsehole" bit. That is irrelevant to the current situation.
