Ah, the Klinton era....flashback to "America Held Hostage, Day 1" (till the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated and the nasty right wingers and their popular shows are taken off the air).

Most of the bad personal stories involved Hillary, though there is no one saying if Bill hit on female service members like he did everyone else. As I understand it, Hillary did.

At various times, Hillary asked military officers in uniform to act as waiters during formal dinners and told then LTG Barry McCaffrey not to wear his uniform when visiting the White House. Rumor was, she and LTG Claudia Kennedy were pretty close though.

Bill and Hill started off with the crazies and leftist policies, like "don't ask don't tell", and after two years of mismanagement, cost a lot of Dim Congresscritters their jobs, so Newt and company stiffed most of the stupidity for the next six years while balancing the budget.

It could happen again, though it might take a while longer to win the Senate back.

They can't help it, regardless of the centrism of many Dim Congressional members, they will be forced to vote with the libs the majority of the time. Wait and see what they do to Joe Lieberman if they no longer need his vote.

Dim leadership is already talking about cutting the DoD budget by 25%. Not too long before we have to start bringing in our own office supplies and toilet paper again.

Not looking forward to this train wreck. A lot of good people are going to get hurt and huge amounts of money are going to be given to those who did nothing to earn it.

A few more votes in the right places could make a huge difference next week.
