Comments on: Letterman Gets Serious With Clinton

Some Light Moments, But Emphasis In "Late Show" Interview On Iraq And Campaign 2008

[justfacts2]

As a military serviceman pointed out not so long ago - our vice president will neither lose money or break even on this war. Think about that. Everywhere you go over there, you see Halliburton, and only them too.

[pugster]

Before those Republican Whiners complain of Hiliary about her ''inexperience,'' look at Dubya, he was a drunken stupor before before being a governor with no foreign relations experience. Yet those same Republican whiners voted for them. At least Hiliary was in politics for 30+ years.

[actornaught]

She was impressive enough on Letterman, and i realized how much more, yes, ''presidential'' she is than w. Hopefully she''ll be able to purge some of the shame w has poor on us.

The anti-Hillary flock of sheep have been kept themselves insulated from the mainstream, eating out of each others toilets for years. Try as they might, they''re laughable mental powers just won''t bend reality. The reality that plenty of people like Hillary, and her electability has been steadily climbing over the ''pubs for some time. AND she will make a much better president than any bush...

[j4401]

By posting negative comments about Hillary and her husband are people trying to change our opinion about her? Or is it just being "stuck in the mud."

[abbe91]

"Congress had the same intelligence as available to the White House."
If it is what the WH says, it must be the truth, right ? Oh boy ... Congress, and even the 911 commission didn''t have access to all 911 documents. Why a special case for Iraq ? What about the Brewster-Jennings outing ? the yellowcake ? The WH fabricated intelligence. Why would they let the Congress know about it ?

"There is no excuse for anyone to have voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq. Even if Iraq had possessed millions of nuclear weapons, it posed no credible threat to the US."
Correct. But did you say so at the time. Honestly ?

"Iraq had no navy, air force, missile delivery system or military capable of posing any such threat."
Correct, same question.

Don''''t recall the Reagan recession, do you?


Oh, I''ve ticked off both liberals and conservatives? Wonderful! My work here is done.

4 Words, folks: BOTH SIDES ARE BULLSH**!!!

[j4401]

Why do the Clinton haters feel they must share their negative opinions with the rest of us over and over again? I could care less about how people "feel" about Hillary or her husband. It is totally irrelevant and useless.

The Real Reason We''re In Iraq: An influential group of conservatives convinced President George W. Bush that it was in America''s best interests to conquer Iraq as a first step toward dominating the oil-producing nations in the Middle East. There was no "exit plan" because we never intended to exit. The plan was, and is, to build military bases in Iraq and stay there forever. Our leaders see Iraq as a place to make money. So Bush & Co. have set up their friends to cash in on the rebuilding of Iraq.

[pugster]

Before those Republican Whiners think that Hiliary is ''conspiring'' with the ''so called'' ''communist'' broadcasting station, they forgot that McCain has announced his presidency at this same Letterman Show earlier this year. Maybe those Republicans are working with those ''communists'' too.

[themurph2000]

Actually, I was around during the Clinton "8" as you called it. I never said I liked Clinton himself. I thought he was quite the sleazebag. Actually, I voted for old man Bush in ''92 because I thought he''d be better with foreign policy. The economy was in bad shape for the first 2-3 (even stretch that to 3 1/2) years of Clinton''s presidency. Then, when the Republicans and Clinton realized they''ve been forced to work together is when we had some progress. Might explain the landslide victory that Clinton had in ''96.

I''''ll not swing to her immoral decrees of murder (abortion) and homosexuality. In fact I''''ll stand in opposition to it every chance I get.

Immoral decrees of homosexuality? Get over youself, willya? If you''re gonna use the Bible to spread hatred, do you think you can occasionally look up the quotes that say "Love one another as I have loved you?" Or would that be too much trouble? I''d really like to see how these homophobes react when it''s been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that your sexual preference is part of your DNA.

Yeah, don''t you just hate people that think things out first?

[abbe91]

"Hillary Clinton marched in lockstep with the Republicans on the "war on terror", including the invasion & occupation of Iraq. And, promises to continue more of the same."
Posted by tuckerndfw at 10:07 AM : Aug 31, 2007

I wouldn''t blame so much her or the Republicans in congress for this, even if they could have been wiser. I would rather blame first the Bush administration for lying to them.

[pugster]

Libs are Losers, period. This is how we wound up in this mess in the first place, not the other way around. It is obvious of this fact by the way the Dems accuse everyone else for all the mistakees made, and then try to sound like a martyr by promising to fix all the problems which ultimately they started. Wake up and smell the coffee. GO FRED!

I see when Bush Sr left at 1992 he got less than 40% approval rating. Clinton left at 2000 with a 60%+ rating. Old Dubya jr. has less than 30% rating.

The republican whiners don''t get the hint that the Grand Old Perverts can''t get the job done in terms of how to be a president.

[hwy71so]

"I''''ve been watching Letterman since ''''82. He''''s politcally neutral. The only person I''''ve ever seen him go after with the claws was Bill O''''Reilly. Let''''s face it: that guy needs to be knocked down several pegs.

Letterman, like many of us, are disgusted with both sides of the aisle. Since the days of IKE, we''''ve had three presidents make it the full 8 years: two Republicans and one democrat. Times were good (or at least decent) for two of those three (Reagan and Clinton).
Posted by themurph2000 at 08:19 AM : Aug 31, 2007"

Apparently, you weren''t around during the B. Clinton years. There was very little "decent" about his 8.

Letterman has hardly been neutral either. He''s been after Bush since his first election.

Letterman was a supporter of Clinton when he was in office and when Bush was elected Letterman let his Liberal Democrat side show in full force. He''s nothing but a yes man and has been bought by those who''d tear down the very fabric of this country.

I''ll pray that Hillary isn''t elected, but if all these, my countrymen do elect her, I''ll submit to her leadership as prescribed in the book of Romans. But, I''ll not swing to her immoral decrees of murder (abortion) and homosexuality. In fact I''ll stand in opposition to it every chance I get.

Hey, she may be the best man for the job.

[themurph2000]

um it was the Republicans who got it done and that maggot Clinton knew he did not have the votes to veto it.
Posted by nexgen99 at 08:37 AM : Aug 31, 2007

OK, let''s check those numbers....

104th Congress - 1995-96
House: 232 Republicans, 201 Democrats, 2 Independents. Republicans control 53.3% of the House

Senate: 52 Republican, 48 Democratic. (52 were at the time of the vote, there were 53 in ''95 until Bob Packwood left) Republicans control 52% of the Senate.

Bottom line, it was the Republicans who could not override a Presidential veto, as you need 67% to do that in both houses. By that same token, Clinton couldn''t get the bills designed exactly as he liked them, as the Republicans would have chaired many (if not most) of the subcommittees in Congress.

Don''t you just hate people who do their research and remember their history?

This country needs a female President, the men sure haven''t done a very good job overall. I sometimes think we are still living in the 1890''s.
Maybe with a female President, someone would think twice before sending our children off to a foreign country to die over someone else''s civil war.
Has anyone bothered to notice our gasoline prices did not get out of hand before Bush and Cheney''s war on terror in Iraq.

[rushman71]

Vote for Billary Clinton--He/She will Save America!!!

[Krazcarl]

pwrslim what kind of illegal drugs are you on your comment makes absolutly no seance you can''t believe it take another pill you''ll be ok...

[pwrslm]

Sure, she will give 23k away, but she will also keep a million from HSU''''s activities, no doubt. Reality is sinking in, Billys last campain had similar smells. When the Feds started investigations into irregular activities, dozens of foreign nationals, who raised funds for the Clinton campain, left the county to evade prosecution.

No doubt this is the same tactic. Chinese businessmen, spies, communist plots to destroy freedom, they are REAL people. This is it. China recieved unparalelled benefits from the last Clinton Administration. If we put another one in, shoot, we may as well start eh Peoples Republic of the United States Party and change languages. Can you say grng ch%u01CEn ??
