Thank Me. I Voted Clinton-Gore
As I was making my daily journey to the Post Office the other
day, I patiently waited for a car to vacate a parking space near
the door. As the rear of the vehicle came toward me, I noticed a
bumper sticker, which read, in big, bold letters, "THANK ME.
I VOTED CLINTON-GORE." Pondering the message of the brave,
stubborn soul in the car ahead of me, I considered all the things
I could be thankful for as a result of the Clinton-Gore regime.
Indeed, I discovered the list was long and varied.
Thank you for reminding us that the government that gave us
the Internal Revenue Service and welfare also lusts for control
of the greatest health care system in the world.
Thank you for reminding that the FBI, who has a file on
millions of Americans, including myself, can give those files to
people powerful enough to demand them.
Thank you for giving us a President who supports partial-birth
abortions.
Thank you for introducing us to Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones,
Monica Lewinski and about two dozen other names that we might not
have met and known otherwise.
Thank you for allowing a WAR HERO and the author of one of the
most successful military campaigns in history to leave the
presidency because, no matter how successful he was, we, in all
our moral outrage, just wouldn't tolerate someone who would lie
to the American people by promising "no new taxes" and
then going back on his word. -- We certainly can't have a liar in
the White House, now can we?
Thank you for giving us a President who discusses his choice
of underwear with teenagers. We always wondered if presidents
wore boxers or briefs.
Thank you for installing a man who reminds us of those good
old days of pot smoking (without inhaling, of course) and war
PROTESTING.
Thank you for showing us that the ridiculous plot of the
movie, "Wag the Dog," could really be plausible after
all.
Thank you for showing all the men and women in America that
sexual harassment in the workplace, and on the job, is okay as
long as it involves powerful middle-age executives and the young
women half their age under their power. It is, after all, a
"private matter."
Thank you for revealing that the agenda of the National
Organization of Women only includes some women. Women like Anita
Hill and not women like Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, et. al.
Thank you for allowing us to come to the realization that
"sexual relations" is not clearly defined after all.
And all these years, I thought that "oral sex" really
had something to do with sex. Imagine! Or is it Oral Sex when you
talk about it?
Thank you for reintroducing the concept of
"impeachment" to a new generation that missed the
discussion surrounding it the last time it was brought up.
Thank you for curing me of my addiction to the evening news.
Thank you for reminding us that, when all is said and done,
"CHARACTER" really, really DOES matter.
And, in comparison to recent days:
Thank you for making Dan Quayle look like the Rhodes Scholar.
Thank you for making Jimmy Carter look competent.
Thank you for making Gerald Ford look graceful.
Thank you for making Richard Nixon look honest.
Thank you for making Lyndon Johnson look truthful.
Thank you for making John Kennedy look moral.
Thank you for making Al Gore look positively presidential.
Thank you for reminding us of the importance of term limits.
And really, thank you not once, but twice! Why, if not for
YOU, instead of the current, interesting discussion all over the
television networks and newspapers, we would be focused on a
whole slew of trivial matters such as global defense, the
economy, nukes in North Korea, genocide in Africa, the
containment of terrorism, and all those other boring topics.
So, thank you, thank you, thank you! Oh, and if you voted for
Ross Perot, thank you, too. You deserve just as much of the
credit as my friend with the bumper sticker.
Since Bill Clinton took office, here are some of the
"GOOD" things that have happened:
72 House and Senate witnesses have plead the fifth.
17 witnesses have fled the country to avoid testifying.
19 foreign witnesses have refused to be interviewed by US
investigative bodies.
19 charges from Whitewater investigations.
14 convictions from Whitewater investigations.
8 imprisonments from Whitewater investigations.
55 total charges in all Clinton scandals.
32 total convictions (so far) in all Clinton scandals.
14 total imprisonments (so far) in all Clinton scandals.
938 overnight stays at the White House for Clinton supporters.
$40 million - cost of Clinton's trip to China.
62 House of Representative seats that have changed from Democrat
to Republican.
12 Senate seats that have changed from Democrat to Republican.
13 Governorships that have changed from Democrat to Republican.
1,200 state legislative seats that have changed from Democrat to
Republican.
353 elected Democrats who have switched parties since Clinton
took office.
Yes, it's been an interesting six years for "the most
ethical administration in the history of the Republic." But
then ... everybody knows it's ALL the fault of the "Vast
right-wing conspiracy." Go figure...!
Some people leave a mark on this world. Clinton left only a
stain!
