"Any president that lies to the American people should have to resign."
"Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign."

What's more, Clinton's package authorizes $3.4 billion for more cops over a six-year period, or $650 million per year beginning next year. That's enough to pay the salaries of only 13,000 police at the average national cost in salary and benefits of $50,000 per year, and even less in big cities where costs are higher--and crime is at its worst."

Jeeze IceNine I would LOVE to agree with you %100 on this one...not that it matters...but I dont want to be accused of kissing your ass...and stealing you from the lovely AzureStar! but I do agree

My brother, you are living in the past.

Which past, in fact, was pretty good. Every single statistical measurement of life improved under President Clinton.

The one that REALLY blows me away is that both teen pregnancies and abortions decreased during President Clinton's term.

The conservatives are always yapping about what a bad role-model President Clinton was. Why, then, would teen pregnancies and abortions DECREASE if he was such a bad influence on our nation's youngsters?

And here's another good one:

100,000 NEW POLICE OFFICERS: "Fight crime by putting 100,000 new police officers on the streets." Putting People First, September 1992.

"Clinton Crime Plan Falls Far Short on Cops: Bill Clinton campaigned for president promising to put 100,000 more police on the nation's streets by 1996, but the crime package he sent to Congress calls for only half that number. What's more, Clinton's package authorizes $3.4 billion for more cops over a six-year period, or $650 million per year beginning next year.

Roll Call, October 7, 1993, p. 11.


How stupid can you be? Where do you think the 100,000 police officers will come from? Thin air? Do you think President Clinton could have just waved a magic wand and viola! 100,000 new cops?

And who do you think pays cops' salaries? Take Minneapolis - who pays their cops' salaries? The federal government, or the city?

It's the city, of course! Claiming that Clinton's package "(is) enough to pay the salaries of only 13,000 police at the average national cost in salary and benefits of $50,000 per year" is sheer idiocy.

The funds in President Clinton's bill were for recruiting and training assistance.

Did you even stop to read this tripe before you posted it?

Interesting reading, eh?
