I love how Republicans jump on Clintons ass but seem to forget that most of our current problems were born from the Reagan and Bush Sr. years. Osama is our child, we created him and now he's come back to haunt us. Clinton could not take a stronger stance against terrorism because the public would not approve of U.S. forces in some foreign country going after some guy they've never heard of before. If he did go after terrorists Republicans would say he was just doing it to keep the media off of his personal business. They claimed wag the dog when he sent cruise missiles into Sudan and Afghanistan. Now that the public is intimately aware of terrorism action is more acceptable.
I also love the hypocrisy of Republicans who claim to want an end to big government but want to pass laws based on "morality" (read that as christianity). Of course the most ignorant of all remarks is often thrown about, "If you don't like it then leave." That statement is perhaps the most unamerican of any and borders on fascism. All that being said, the Democrats really aren't any better. The key is to keep both evils balanced so the least amount of harm is done to both our civil liberties and tax dollars.
