Amazingly, the best decade for America in our lifetimes (and probably several decades more) was probably under the tutelage of Slick Willie. No war, relatively low unemployment, a balanced budget, and the stock market was booming. So what did the loyal opposition do? Go the to the brink over a friggin' BJ (while themselves getting their own BJ's from the Callista's of the world). Go figure.

Exports? I thought the left supported greater tariffs?

Sorry...I am so tired of hearing the latest statistics on this or that. I just may skip the election completely.

Might want to check the authenticity of your Jefferson quote. Not being critical, I have used unsubstantiated Jefferson quotes in my sig line before too.

Go out and vote, it is your civic duty. Never drop out. Believe it or not your voice still matters. Maybe

I like this one:
I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
Or
I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.

Slick got in at the right time, and he got out at the right time. Rather be lucky as good any day.
BTW, Slick was never charged for a receiving a blow job, and he didn't lose his law license because of that charge.

Point taken. OTOH, he wouldn't have been put in a position to commit perjury were he not being investigated for said BJ by folks (Livingston, Gingrich) who were doing the same.
Slick Willie was a dumbass sleaze bag for what he did (though it pales in comparison to Iran-Contra). That doesn't negate the fact that his eight years in office were probably the best run we've had as a country since WWII. I suppose it's all relative. After Dubya and Obama, Bubba is looking better all the time.
