They tried... I don't think they succeeded.

I mean, all of this pardon stuff is pretty bad.

And the excuse "he's just doing what other presidents have done" is bullshit. That doesn't mean we let it go. That doesn't mean it's okay. The point of the presidency is we expect more from it, and as all of this stuff unfolds I think we're gonna learn a lot about Clinton that we didn't know.

Why are y'all so defensive of Clinton? He passed the Omnibus Crime Bill, which increased the whole prison industry a ton and, if I'm correct, gave more serious (read: longer) prison sentences for drug offenders. He took welfare out from under the feet of those who needed it. Those are just two points...

Can anyone explain why y'all love Clinton? After a lot of the shit he's done?
