Clinton wiped out the defecit, tech stocks had the market rolling (of course it was going to crash, even I saw it), housing starts were way up too.

IMO the R's started the BIG division in Federal Politics when Newt and Ken Starr went after Clinton for impeachment as a result of the Lewinsky hearings. The R's just wouldn't drop it, so what..he got a hummer, who would blame him??? Even though Newt was having an affair at the same time, as well as his predacessor as Speaker of the House also! Pot meet kettle...oh yeah..there were lots of steelhead too...


And Clinton was impeached by a group of Republicans for getting a BJ after being a great president in many ways, because who cares how good someone is at their job if they aren’t Jesus-like behind closed doors.The Reps were all Christian stroking holier than you types at this time, painting the Dems as the immoral ones, and it worked. In the near future after the Reps grand standing, many of the impeachment leaders like Newt were discovered to have had many affairs and been womanizers just like the Slick Willy Bill....and every career politician because they all want the fruits of power.

In the next election, because the Reps were supposed the ones with the moral high ground, W was elected, an admitted former cocaine addict, alcoholic, and womanizer. He was all clean now so it was just fine by the moral hypocrites of the world.
