    It kind of shocks me that he's seen as some champion when he lied to congress, was impeached and cheated on his wife. Yet - he's thrown out there as the keynote speaker of the second night of their convention.

    If he was a Republican, he would have been burned at the stake by the media. Just look what they did to Palin last year and she did nothing so bad as Clinton has.

    I like Sara Palin :D but other than the Monica deal what did Willy do that was so bad ?
    I'm voting for Romney but I still think clinton did a great job as president...man if every president that got an extra marital blow job in office got imeached our court system would still be backed up just sense Kennedy. :lol: "happy birthday Mr. prez aaa dent" :o .... :lol::lol::lol:

    I said what he did - lied to Congress and cheated on his wife. Those qualify as more than "so bad" in my book.

  • The perjury thing was bad and he was impeached by the House, but since the Senate didn't ratify it he was never removed. I am sorry, but the whole time he was in office the GOP tried to oust him by spending hundreds of millions to dig up dirt on him.

    As much as Obama has not done enough since he has been in office, he did inherit the worst economy since the Great Deppression.

    I don't disagree that it was witch hunt.

    But...cheating on your wife and lying to Congress - even if you shouldn't be testifying in the first place - are pretty bad.

    and EV said that a lot of problems could be solved in the world by just getting the 100 most powerful people all together in a room the size of a cinema to talk....

    They are incomparable for me, Ed has integrity, is honest and has compassion
    is not self centered nor greedy nor disloyal to his family. I also don't think
    Ed takes credit where credit is not due.
  • Ed take Clinton's place? Really?!?!

    I love Vedder and all, but how you even put him somehow inline with replacing a former President, who is the best political speaker of our generation, is beyond me.

    Ed will take the place of someone like Bruce Springsteen or Neil Young... eventually being one of the elder statesmen of music when it comes to speaking out about social issues.

    he lied because he got ratted out for a blowjob from a young inturn....hello 99.9% of men would have done the same thing..(well no I did not have sexual relations with that girl) vs. (hell yeah ! she could suck the crome of a trailer hitch,it was great !) and I agree that he should not have cheated on his wife but that does not discount the fact he did a great job as president and I think that's all anybody is saying...shit Kennedy was banging Monroe and to this day everybody thinks he was one of the greatest presidents that ever lived.

    Have you met Ed? do you hang out with Ed? do you think Ed has never been an asshole? I wonder if a former drummer of the band who agree with you about his self-centeredness.

    I hope this doesn't get locked. I just think that we as people judge people when in fact we might not know them.

    You might not like Clinton and that is fine. but making value judgements on someone that you have not met is not correct.

    of course ...
    I might be voting for another four, still undecided like a lot of Americans.



    I should add I care not how someone votes...
    they don't have to share my belief on what is best for our country
    or for me to love them, like them, respect and admire them.

    Well for one thing, I don't think Ed would be a good politician because he's not qualified. It would be nice to have leaders who are a bit closer to Ed and further away from, say, Nixon, but I don't know if what we need is a national leader who is a hippy surfer rock star with a potty mouth. :lol: He could probably charm the pants off of dignitaries though. ;)

    As for Clinton: I think he is the most likeable and impressive scum bag around. Probably the best public speaker of all time, and incredibly brilliant and savvy - I would say the most intelligent president the US has ever seen. He also committed purgury to cover up the fact that he fucked some trashy intern in the oval office with a cigar, possibly with the same hand that his wedding band is on. :? So there's that. Not the greatest guy in the world to say the least. So yeah, one of the greatest scumbags to ever sit in the White House. And I do happen to absolutely support most of his actual politics; I think the man really knows what he's talking about, and, scumbag or not, has great ideas and knowledge about how his country is best served, and is outrageously insightful when it comes to foreign policy and diplomacy. Not saying he did a perfect job of course (impossible), but he was and is impressive.

    I will say, though, while he should not have lied under the circumstances - that was bad; I mean, most people who cheatie about it, but since he was dragged before Congress, he should have known he needed to suck it up and come clean - he should never have been dragged into an inquiry about his sordid sex life (really a trial that humiliated his wife more than it did any thing else) in the first place. That was ridiculous, and I think the ones who fought so hard to make that happen are probably much worse people than Clinton is (and I'd bet the farm that plenty of those folks have cheated on their wives too - infidelity is rampant among politicians and we all m know it. It's a symptom of what umakes them want to be politicians in the first place.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    OK...agree with your first sentence (and like how you put it :D ), but the most intelligent US president? Best public speaker? I get that it's a matter of opinion in the end, so an emphatic "noooo!" from me.

    Anyway, the premise of this thread is just...strange.

    Vedder? Clinton?

    Bueller?
