win-win scenarios
The way it's turned out, McCain will be laughing all the way to the White House.
a. If it's Obama, most of her supporters will not vote for him
b. If it's Clinton, most of his supporters will not vote for her
So McCain is the likely winner then.Comment

Hopefully McCain isn't on a hotline to god like Bush. "Tell me what to do lord" FFS!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Clinton left the Whitehouse on the highest approval rating of any president post the second world war, so he must have been doing something right. The economy was in a good state, the dollar was the currency of choice, we weren't involved in pointless oil supply wars that have only served to raise the price of oil. How times have changed.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Wars? There is no oil in Afganistan, and the murderous Taliban were removed.
The price of oil has gone up because of demand from China and India.
Bill never won a majority of the popular vote. He rode on the back of an IT lead boom, Microsoft and technology, more than anything to do with politicians. Al Gore did not invent the internet.
Given the Republicans ran both houses of congress from 1994 - 2006 you could argue that this had a significant influence. What Clinton ignored was the growing threat of Islamist terror, the World Trade Centre was attacked under his watch (1993) this was an Islamist group, but there was very little attempt to do much about this, he struck a deal with North Korea, to give it oil and money in exchange for not developing nuclear weapons, which turned out to be a complete fraud. Meanwhile how long was Clinton going to let Iraq get away with breaching UN Security Council resolutions - time and time again.
No. I still prefer God over Bill.Comment

Nice avoidance tactics with Iraq there, at least you didn't mention WMD or try to link Iraq to 11/9 when even the Saudis were more involved. Perhaps you knew the middle east plan was long in the making before 11/9 however, it didn't quite work out the way they expected and has only served to help push the price higher. Ah the UN, matters as a justification, but doesn't matter if the war isn't sanctioned in a resolution? Can't have it both ways
In Summary: The repulicans can't run the economy or a war.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
