Google any rape statistics and let them sink in for a while.
Let them get nice and comfortable.
Just relax, you'll enjoy them once you accept them.
*ugh*
Can't continue. Too creeped out.

Kathleen Willey alleged that he groped her too.
for those of you that were too young to remember Gennifer Flowers was the first one to come out during the campaign to say she had an affair with bill clinton and then, not unlike cosby, they all started piling out of the woodwork...

My fondness for women came from a young Monica Lewinksy and a blue dress !
The ideal woman lives in denial and will do anything for power.
Then later comes out and *** and whines about people mocking her.

What government official in Arkansas hasn't had coke filled orgies though ?

Uhh...there is a VERY significant difference between "affair" and "roofie'd sex".
By fonewear 2015-07-28 15:07:00
What if the affair involves roofied sex though ?

I'm pretty sure those things are mutually exclusive, except for any freaky exception where someone enjoys being roofie'd...

carter was by far the worst president ever... he had the peanut farmer's midas touch in that everything he touched turned into a steaming pile of cow ***... which makes great manure but unfortunately isn't good for much else.
I'm curious what you think clinton did, other than bang monica.
And I'm curious to know which president out of Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Jr, and Obama was a better president than Clinton. Surely not Reagan? The only president out of those who has a claim of beating Bill is Obama:
-The ACA, flawed but it's the groundwork for true socialized health care in America
-Brought Bin Laden to justice
-Lowered unemployment from 10% (result of Bush's disastrous presidency) to 5.3% currently
-Saved the American auto industry with bailouts
-Stymied Iran's efforts to get nuclear weapons with a groundbreaking international treaty
-Nominated two Supreme Court justices who were part of the historic decision to allow gay marriage across the US
-Essentially ended the war in Afghanistan and drastically lowered the number of troops in Iraq
That's just a quick list of Obama's accomplishments. Now that I look at it, he may beat out Clinton:
-record economic prosperity- low unemployment and inflation, record home ownership, rising incomes, etc.
-helped working Americans with FMLA/EIC
-oversaw a budget surplus, something that no Republican has done since Eisenhower IIRC?
Clinton also did damage to this country. His sexual escapades dominated the national consciousness for over a year. It was unneeded and ridiculous. Obama has had some scandals, but none on that scale.

All I see from Obama is Bush got us into this mess Obama fixed it.
Sounds like this:

The Iran deal was just done a little bit ago so that one is still undecided.
Gay marriage was a thing before Obama.
And what President doesn't look good ending a war ?

Was gay marriage on a federal level a thing before Obama? Which president before Obama supported gay marriage, even on a state level?
-Stymied Iran's efforts to get nuclear weapons with a groundbreaking international treaty
-Nominated two Supreme Court justices who were part of the historic decision to allow gay marriage across the US
-Essentially ended the war in Afghanistan and drastically lowered the number of troops in Iraq To some people here these would be considered bad things lol.
Well, some people here are pretty down on human rights and pretty excited for more war, so you're probably right.
By fonewear 2015-07-28 16:41:44
I don't think you can judge Obama's "greatness" or legacy while he is still in office.
By fonewear 2015-07-28 16:44:11
Excited for more war more like expecting more war.

States have decided to allow gay marriage before Obama magically made it happen.

*some states
Obama's justices voted to make that all states. You don't think that's significant?
I don't think you can judge Obama's "greatness" or legacy while he is still in office.
Agreed there.
By fonewear 2015-07-28 16:49:26
It is significant yes but the public was ready to support it. It was heading towards gay marriage being passed for years.
As for the affordable care act I don't see what is so "affordable" about it.
My policy doubled because of it. Maybe in the future it will be good but right now I think public opinion is still against it.
Plus I don't like the government telling me I have to buy it. Or be penalized.

So, we're discussing the possibility that Clinton was the best of the recent presidents, only to be potentially beaten by Obama? The rose-tinted glasses are strong with this one.

To be fair, being the best of recent Presidents isn't a very high bar. You need to go a few decades before you get to someone I think both sides would ever mutually respect, JFK or Eisenhower, really.
We've had a massive downward spiral since Reaganomics came into play, and Clinton raising the upper bracket oh-so-slightly might be enough to give him the nod, though it's far more that the other presidents have been extremely lacking.
By fonewear 2015-07-28 17:44:00
Don't worry Hillary is going to set the bar so high no other president will reach it !
With as little snark as I can manage.
Mind you several candidates deserve a LOT of snark. I will try to do my best to bite my tongue.
The leaders:
Donald Trump
Polls: CNN Nationwide: 19%, New Hampshire: 21%, Iowa 17%, YouGov 28%
Strengths: Knows how to generate publicity. Appeals to the bigots the GOP has been courting for decades, his ego, his fortune.
Weaknesses: High negatives, his ego.
Presidential nomination chance: Surprisingly good ATM.
Vice presidential chance: None.
Jeb bush
Polls: CNN Nationwide: 15%, New Hampshire: 14%, Iowa 12%, YouGov 13%
Strengths: Has won the GoP fundraising primary, darling of the GoP establishment, family connections, his name.
Weaknesses: Highest negatives among probable GoP primary voters, Common Cause, seen as a "big government" Republican like his brother.
Presidential nomination chance: Special case. If no one locks up the nomination in the primaries and its an open convention, an excellent chance. Otherwise a slim chance.
Vice presidential chance: Again, special case. Would he accept after his father and brother have both been president? and there is no chance that having him as VP means carrying Florida.
Scott Walker
Polls: CNN Nationwide: 10%, New Hampshire: 12%, Iowa 19%!!, YouGov 13%
Strengths: Koch brothers funding, impeccable sense of timing, knows when to keep his mouth shut, hero to union busters.
Weaknesses: Ruined his state's economy, could still be indited, despised by unions.
Presidential nomination chance: He has a chance.
Vice presidential chance: He has a chance.
Marco Rubio:
Strengths: Brash, outspoken, beloved by the tea party, Hispanic.
Weaknesses: Lack of experience, HATED by many in the GoP power structure, his mouth.
Presidential nomination chance: slim.
Vice presidential chance: He has a chance.
Ted Cruz
Polls: CNN Nationwide: 6%, New Hampshire: 5%, Iowa 4%, YouGov 4%
Strengths: Brash, outspoken, beloved by the tea party, Hispanic, fairly deep background in governance.
Weaknesses: Lack of exposure.
Presidential nomination chance: He has a chance.
Vice presidential chance: He has a chance.
Rand Paul
Polls: CNN Nationwide: 6%, New Hampshire: 4%, Iowa 5%, YouGov 5%
Strengths: Beloved by the tea party and right libertarians, has a different style than the rest of the pack, His name.
Weaknesses: Hated by the GoP establishment and the arms merchants, can't inherit his father's machine for reasons unknown to me.
Presidential nomination chance: slim
Vice presidential chance: slimmer.
Ben Carlson
Polls: CNN Nationwide: 4%, New Hampshire: 6%, Iowa 8%, YouGov 7%
Strengths: Works a crowd like he has been a politician all his life, Washington outsider, perhaps the most intelligent person in the race.
Weaknesses: Does not know when to shut his mouth, no political experience.
Presidential nomination chance: Snowflake in Hades.
Vice presidential chance: thanks to the GoP affirmative action program a decent chance.
Personal note: I could easily see him as Secretary of HEW, Surgeon General, or head of veteran's health.
