Dude, where's our surplus?

President Clinton did two things I hold grudges about. It doesn't bother me too much that he used a swing to the middle and coopted the positive planks of the Republican platform. It does suck that the GOP has abandoned them as tainted by populism, but it's not his fault they worship confusion.

But he let his guard down and succumbed to a weak will. Rule #1 for a guy is Don't do a chubby girl who writes poetry and wears a beret. She's likely to be co-dependent in general, and you can't trust her unless you marry her. She needs someone to talk to, and if you stress her emotions you won't enjoy her confidence. Monica was a very expensive gift, considering the recipient didn't deserve gifts so much as a spanking. I'm angry at Clinton for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The second complaint I have with Clinton is the surplus. It was a great idea to balance the budget, but it went too far. He left a wad of cash on the table, and the bad guys were going to win. Gore had a chance in 2000, but ignoring his environmental record, leaving his home state orphaned, and hiding from his Clinton connection left him without a consituency.

The surplus gave them something to go to war for. Overnight, the Republicans took the megaBillions surplus of cash on hand and took it home to fatten their terrible Republican Glassy-Eyed Armageddonist families.
