Clinton will go down in the history books as one of the worse presidents of all time.

Hillary must be foaming at the mouth now that she's in the minority party in the Senate.

Bet she never saw that coming!

No kidding

What really kills me is that Frank Lautenberg, the guy who took over for that crook Torcelli in New Jersey, retired because he "didn't want to be in the minority party in the Senate" the last time the Republicans took over.

So....Franky boy subs for Toricelli when he had to withdraw because of ethics "problems" and proptly becomes a member of the minority party

I didn't like Clinton.....I dislike Bush even more.....

Outspoken thinkers like John McCain, Alan Keyes...etc....however can never win, for winning the presidency in almost all cases requires throwing morality out the window...

And getting sponsored by the big coperations, it seems.

You mean the same John McCain who was part of the Keating Five scandal? Pffftttt.....

Keating Five: Senators Alan Cranston (D-Calif.), Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.), John Glenn (D-Ohio; yeah...*that* John Glenn), John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Donald Riegle (D-Mich.), all of which were accused of taking $1,000,000 in contributions in return for improperly interceding with Federal regulators on behalf of Charles Keating; the 1989 version of an Enron executive

McCains recent celebrity is amazing to me, especially considering that 3 of the 5 got formal ethics committee censures....but *somehow* McCain and John Glenn got passes

I respect him only for his bravery as a prisoner of war during the VietNam war....not for his political "adventures" since.

Of course the Germans did like Clinton. Just look at how they like Schröder
And believe me, Schröders minions are way more incompetent than Clinton could ever have thought of.

His support of campaign finance reform and space keep him as an admirable figure in my eyes....

Still....it was very entertaining to see Clintons political assasin James Carville on CNN when it became obvious that last nights election was a blow out for the Republicans;



He's the one under the trash can

I've never seen that asinine troll look better!

This is the thing I really dislike about third and fourth parties; you very often have two conservatives splitting 60% of the vote and some liberal Democrat getting elected who could never get elected (or re-elected) otherwise.

This is how we ended up with Clinton and his gang of crooks & idiots for 8 years

Dr. Mordrid

We really should have runoffs or coalition governments of some sort then. I hate the way we are limited to two choices, both bland and compromised as hell. The only good thing about Perot was that he paid his own way.. he was not bought and paid for by any corporate feudal lord. He was too naive to really have made a good president though.

Well, of course they are.. "liberal" and "incompetent" are practically synonyms.

We need some good third parties very badly. And it needs to be made easier for them to participate. Plus it is also very hard for them to run againist the Dems and Repubs because it is not a very even playing field. The Dems and Repubs automatically get millions of taxpayer dollars to run their campaigns while the third party candidates are forced to spend most of their privately raised funds just trying to get on the ballots. But then again look at who makes the rules. I guess they're afraid of the competition too much to allow things to be even. And the run off is a good idea. I think if we had of had a run off procedure in place back when Perot ran Clinton would not have gotten in.
