It does no such thing. Bill Clinton is, to the surprise of exactly no one on earth who’s been paying attention for the past 15 29 years, lying through his teeth.

Fixed that for you. His lying began long before the Oval Office. Check out the phrase; “Thank God for Mississippi, and remember who was Arkansas governor for most of the 80′s.”

Sorry to hear about your woes and sure hope that you will get better and better real soon. HA can be very therapeutic :) Welcome back and speedy recovery,

Bite the lip, Bubba. Go on. You know you want to.

This POS really likes to bite lips(his and others) doesn’t he.
Didn’t he put the bite on that woman who accused him of raping her? “You had better put some ice on that lip”.
Lying comes to him and his lovely wife naturally.
What a pair of scumbags!

Rich Lowry 2004 on the ad. Maybe they are confusing the Cleland video with the one that ran in Iowa in 2003.

The president was against the Homeland Security Bill for 8 1/2 months.

I thought the democraps were the ones who held up that bill over the issue of unionized workers.

His voting record as a politician and his position on the issues are fair game [...] to dismiss his sacrifice because it wasn’t solely at the hands of the enemy is shameful

Nothing shameful in this case, as he’s used the incident, thus creating a position on the issue – and an examination of the facts of the circumstance tend to indicate that yes, while he was in Vietnam, at the time of the accident (yes, accident, not combat), he was riding in a truck in as close to an off duty status as you could probably get in such a situation, and began to drunkenly play with the hand grenade that caused the injuries.

Now, to peddle the results of a drunken stunt gone wrong as heroic wounds received in the service of the nation – is that not shameful in and of itself?

Somewhat….

For the record, watching Democrats abandon their principles

And what principles might that be? And please don’t bring up JFK and Scoop Jackson. That was a very long time ago.

And remember, Rudolfo did not want Bubba impeached

And Fred voted against impeachment.

Just because Cleland dropped his own grenade, it’s still tragic that he was injured. He served honorably and paid a horrific price to serve his nation,

He had been drinking before trying to climb into that helicopter and dropping his own handgrenade. Maybe what he had done up to that day was honorable…

Neitchze was wrong: whatever does not kill you makes you weaker, not stronger. Especially surgery……..

for a while I had more holes in me than a ( insert joke here )

I just finished watching Alan Colmes do all he could do to discredit Kathleen Willey on ‘Hannity and Colmes’. She has a book out detailing the threats and intimidations she has faced since testifying against President Bill Clinton about his ‘alleged’ (I’m being careful!) molesting/abuse of her in the Oval Office.
She was articulate, sharp, and ready for every one of Colmes’ “facts”. Which were not facts at all.
Colmes should be ashamed. Period.

I watched that, too.

If it makes you feel better, I suspect Colmes actually does feel pretty ashamed. It can’t be easy for a liberal to attach a woman (a Democrat, no less!) who is accusing a man of sexual assault.

He looked pretty unhappy to be doing it. I’m pretty sure he (and Hannity) have orders to stick up for “their side” no matter what. I don’t think he liked it. I think he’s already ashamed.

All liberals should be.

For the record, watching Democrats abandon their principles and choosing to support Clinton – despite his attacks on women, despite the adultery and misogyny – is precisely what began my evolution towards conservatism.

Conservatives have principles. You can disagree with them, but they have them. Liberals have none. Bill Clinton (and his wife) prove that beyond any doubt.

You can blame me. I voted for him. Twice. And when the priest asks me on my deathbed in the year 2067 about my biggest regret, voting Bill Clinton over Bob Dole will make my top 10 list.

Don’t feel bad, I knew a women who refused to vote for “that crippled guy”.

It’s when lying is a disease; when you can’t help yourself ( or don’t WANT to help yourself; when lies and truth are so twisted and seamlessly blended in your mind that you no longer have the sense to realize the difference.

So, or course Clinton lied; he always lies; telling even minor casual throwaway truths is an Enormous Effort for Bill. It’s those rare occasions when he tells truths that Clinton is worth talking about

Don’t hold your breath…………..

Good work on the links, but they don’t absolve Clinton. The Democrats developed this lie in the middle of that election and they’ve been using it ever since. They know exactly what they’re doing.

His voting record as a politician and his position on the issues are fair game, but to dismiss his sacrifice because it wasn’t solely at the hands of the enemy is shameful.

When he allows his sacrifice to be used in a manner as to suggest he was wounded in battle, that too is a shame.

I’m getting a little sick of Max Cleland talking about how he “left one arm and two legs in Vietnam”. It was his own fault. He dropped his own grenade.

Accidents occur in the military. Just because Cleland dropped his own grenade, it’s still tragic that he was injured. He served honorably and paid a horrific price to serve his nation, and it’s repulsive to hear people denigrate his condition because “it was his own fault.” His voting record as a politician and his position on the issues are fair game, but to dismiss his sacrifice because it wasn’t solely at the hands of the enemy is shameful.
