(Got this in an e-mail...)

Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonments from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy! , and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars--- I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more well deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned dollars than jet fuel for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (china, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!

13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her upcoming "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?

What a guy!!

If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these facts, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY, A US Citizen

AND THE REST OF THE STORY Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under the "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. (Would it not be nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?)

If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that?
WE DO! When she runs for President, will you vote for her?

How many people can you send this too?

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

Bill Clinton did not introduce any of those people to the American public. The American media, feeding off the latest "political scandal" brought that to all of our attention. Do you recall how Clintons approval rating went up during the mess because people were disgusted with the media's total attention to these people and their happenings.....people knew what was happening, they new what the media was doing...thank god for intelligent people.




2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

Bill Clinton didn't teach his 8 year old about sex. Do these people actually believe this stuff, because sounds to me as if they're grasping for straws. Yet again, the American media taught the children about oral sex, through their outrageous coverage of the scandal. Like i said before, the publics opinion showed in the polls.



3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

Yet again, does this person legitmately think that Bill Clinton sexually harrassed Monica Lewis? How would any of us know what exactly happened. More importantly, WHY SHOULD ANY OF US KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?? I highly doubt that a white house intern was trying to play hard to get with the President of the United States. This constitutes sexual harrassment how? And don't give me some B.S. reason like he shouldn't use his position of authority to get sex. She wanted it most likely in the same way he did....YES IT was morally wrong, BUT this was a part of his personal business.



4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

Bill Clinton didn't reintroduce the idea of impeachment to our generation. The Conservative leaches that want to jump on anything that might prove detrimental to the Democratic cause reintroduced all of us to those proceedings. If people don't remember, the Senate voted by an overwhelming majority against impeachment of Bill Clinton. hahaaha,,,,,,and then funny enough, a few years later, the Republicans want to harp on how impeachment proceedings against Bush are unfounded, because all he did was drag us into a war on false accusations and intelligence. Oh my god, when did sex become more of a mortal sin then manipulating the American public into supporting a war?????? oh , how laughably ironic.

Yes, with the exception of Monica, thank you for dragging out and publically labelling all these gold diggers who thought by litigating the president, they could squeeze him of money, hopefully get a book deal, an interview with Connie Chung, and a made-for-tv special. Hopefully no one forgets who these women are. Considering the hearings were held before a GOP-controlled Congress, it should speak loudly that nothing ever came of any of these sexual harassment claims.

Thank you for letting America know that frivilous sexual harassment suits don't always pay off. Maybe all those "My boss told me how nice my dress was on Monday and now I'm gonna sue his company" shrews will back down now. Poor poor lawyers...

Thank you Bush for letting Americans know that snorting cocaine in college, getting a DUI for driving through a half mile of hedges, and lying about your tax plans as a Texas governor won't stop you from becoming the President of the United States.

Ken Starr, an obsessively pursuant Clinton-hater, could not pin anything on Clinton in the Whitewater hearings. On the flipside, Bush dumped all of his shares in Harken Energy days before the stock completely collapsed under inflated earnings, while Bush simultaneously sat on the Harken auditting committee :eek1:.

Yes thanks for downsizing an excessively large peacetime military and freeing up unecessary budget line items. Thank you also for pursuing international diplomacy by becoming a worldly leader who actually experiences other cultures before projecting your own values upon entire societies like a certain other "shrub".

Thanks Bush for staging a million dollar aircraft carrier landing in San Diego Bay at the expense of the Californian taxpayers. I'm sure it was really necessary to spend all that money to give a ten minute speech about terrorism. Sure will be some great ammunition for Campaign 2004 though!

Wait, this was paid for by publishers right? I doubt any taxpayer or "US Citizen" (as this letter was signed), has anything to thank for their book deals. Publishers paid them that much because they think they can make at least that much money back from people willing to buy these books.

This is was not aware of? I'll have to see if there is any truth to this. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

I've been saying this all along! Americans should know the truth, we should always be given the truth, but media ALWAYS ALWAYS censors anything that is considered un-American or bad press, or doesn't make them money. Why because if Americans see something they don't like to see, like a war protest during a war, they will change the channel. And thus the media conglomerates lose money. Bush is being protected by the media moreso than Clinton ever dreamt of being. The media was in a free-for-all frenzy in attacking every last facet of Clinton, and even Gore while he was campaigning. I'm surprised they didn't pick up on the Oslo Agreement tidbit, which also brings into question whether or not it's even true!

Oh please, Bush commited the greatest crime against our tax dollars. He did not offer ANY relief on collective $89 billion of the 49 state budget crises, so the states had to throw the weight onto the shoulders of the taxpayers. And instead, Bush channeled hundreds of billions of dollars into a false war against Iraq and is now directing our tax dollars into building and occupying their country while ours dwindles and withers away under heavy financial burdens.

Just to be clear, I didn't write that e-mail, it was sent to me.

I agree with it though..

BTW Anyone pay ANY attention to the news this morning??

Apparantly Bush's Tax cuts were a smart thing..... yee with such little faith.

Personal spending up 0.8% in August, income up 0.2%
WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumers — flush from tax cuts that put extra cash in their wallets — ratcheted up their spending a strong 0.8% in August, the Commerce Department on Monday, putting some push into the economic recovery.
The advance in spending came on top of an even bigger 0.9% increase in July as larger paychecks and other incentives from a federal income tax cut began to take hold.

The August spending figure was in line with economists' expectations.

Meanwhile, disposable incomes, or what's left after taxes, advanced 0.9% in August, following a 1.5% jump in July.

The government attributed much of the increase in disposable incomes in both July and August to President Bush's tax cuts, which lowered federal tax withholdings, boosting take-home pay, and provided other incentives.

Excluding the tax impact, disposable incomes increased a more modest 0.3% in July and 0.2% in August.

The spending and income figures are not adjusted for price changes.

Consumer spending accounts for roughly two-thirds of economic activity in the United States. Because of that, consumer spending is a major factor in shaping the economy's recovery.

Thus far, consumers are keeping their pocketbooks and wallets sufficiently open to keep cash registers humming and the economy's rebound chugging forward.

Many analysts believe the economy is growing at an annual rate in excess of 5% in the current quarter and should be able to maintain growth above 4% in the final three months of the year.

That forecast, if it proves correct, would represent the strongest back-to-back growth since the last two quarters of 1999, a period in which the economy was headed toward a record 10-year economic expansion.

Still, analysts cautioned that they have predicted second-half economic rebounds for three years that have failed to happen as companies and consumers remained uncertain about the future.

Near rock-bottom short-term interest rates, along with the latest round of tax cuts, are helping support consumer spending and offset the negative impact of a sluggish job market, economists say.

In August, businesses slashed jobs for a seventh month. And, more recently, claims for unemployment benefits have remained stubbornly high.

In August, consumer spending on durable goods — products such as cars and appliances, went up 2.8%, following a 3.3% increase in July.

Spending on nondurables such as food and clothing, rose 0.9% for the second month. For services, spending increased 0.3% in August, after a 0.5% gain.

Because disposable income growth outpaced spending, the nation's personal savings rate, or savings as a percentage of after-tax incomes, rose to 3.8% in August from 3.6% in July. The savings rate in August was the best showing since February.

Amid signs the economy is picking up, the Federal Reserve earlier this month decided to hold a key short-term interest rate at a 45-year low 1% and hinted that the rate could stay there some time. That might motivate consumers and businesses to step up spending and investment, boosting economic growth.

Read your own article more carefully:

This was a projected growth. It is not an immediate effect of years of tax cuts.

Originally posted by SCLexus3.0

Of course a GOP government would claim all the responsiblity and glory of a short-term economic rebound.

Interest rates are effecting spending more than tax cuts I would think. Any major investment that registers on the study requires a loan and the savings in interest on that loan is far greater than any tax return check would yield (at least for the masses).

Also noted in your article is that jobs are continuing to be lost.

Again probably due to interest rates, controlled by the Fed, not Bush.

That might motivate consumers and businesses to step up spending and investment, boosting economic growth.

And the article concludes itself with the fact that the privately managed Federal Reserve's 45-year low interest rates are motivating consumers and businesses to spend, not tax cuts. The same way 0% interest financing caused the greatest boom in automotive sales in US history.

So, the economy is not doing better then, right?

Yes, yes, and yes. Someone's got to reverse prior tax cuts or we'd be like most of Europe - i.e., no incentive to work harder and apathy and disgust with all forms of government.

Wait but I thought tax cuts were all about stimulating the economy, not about rewarding the richest of the rich? Are you changing your argument because the last one failed, or was that a freudian slip?

So by rewarding the top 10% of the richest, most of whom inherited their fortunes, you are saying to the rest of the nation that 'advancing yourselves to middle class and upper class does you no good if you aren't the top ten percentile, so you might as well quit trying'? (And sorry if you happened to have died along the way because we neglected you in the most dire times of need.)

You are quite good, you extracted all of that from "let's not turn out like Europe"?

Thank you, I know I am. :)

I extracted all that from the fact of Bush's tax plans, the fact of how they've been executed to favor the top ten percent, and the fact that Bit is a fan of all of this. I extracted the fact of Bit's approval of said tax plans by the "yes yes and yes" comment, the "someone's got to reverse the priot tax cuts" comment, as well as the "no incentive to work harder" comment.

Once again, thank you for the kind words SDuquette. :)

So your saying its not fair to let the people who pay most of the taxes keep MORE OF THEIR OWN MONEY? how is that rewarding them.

You want to REWARD the poor by giving them money that the RICHEST OF THE RICH earned.

You have a wrong perception of the word Reward.

And why do you keep insisting that the Richest of the Rich will be the only ones effected..

They WILL get the most money back BECAUSE THEY PAY THE MOST IN TAXES!!!!! they won't get MORE than they pay back, unlike many of the poor.:rolleyes:

Millions and millions of people in the $30-60,000.00 range will get a HUGE tax cut as well.. Not as much as the higher income because, Guess What?? THEY DON'T PAY AS MUCH!!!!!!!

I'm starting to think that you might fall into that real low income bracket and are hoping for a hand out....could be wrong....

Easy answer, let's make refunds volunteer. Us selfish people can chose to hold onto the portion of the taxes that would be distributed to the poor, and those that feel they should get refunds for more than they pay should pay extra to cover our portions, since they care so much about it and all.
