	I must apologize, I was making arguments as if I was a radical leftist. 
I called Bill Clinton a liar and cry baby without qualifying it.  He is a
liar--that is fairly well documented by even the liberal sources that I am stuck
reading.  If the liberal papers portray him as a liar, there is a chance that
he is even a bigger liar than I am aware of.

LIES

	I used to support Clinton before the Democratic Primary.  Since the
primary has begun, he has moved steadily to the left of center, where he had
occupied.  His lies began back during the primary.  He lied about Paul Tsongas
during the Florida primary, if I recall correctly--so he started off as someone
who would lie to win.  You can ask ,"John, what about a recent lie?  That was a
half year ago or so."  Recently it seems that whenever Clinton talks he is lying
about his record, Bush's record, or his economic plan.  The lie he and his
lackeys spout most often is that Bush has the worst economic record since Herbert
Hoover.  That is a typical Clinton lie, Bush's record is the worst since Carter,
not Hoover but the last Democratic president.

	How about his lies about what Bush will do to medicare?  He is doing
exactly what the lying teacher's union is doing to Pete Wilson in my home state
of California.  Bush and Wilson are cutting, most often, increases in spending
not spending.  Hell, Bush isn't even really cutting increases, he is allowing for
inflation and increased use.    


LIES ON THE MILITARY

	Just about every stance involving the military that Clinton has spoken on
has been a flip flop or a lie.  Be it the Gulf war, Yugoslavia, the Osprey
aircraft, or the sea wolf submarine.  Even Paul Tsongas began to call him pander
bear after he supported some of these dumb military programs that he opposed as a
governor or that the military does not even want.  


LIES ON THE DRAFT

	No further elaboration is needed on this one.  



LIES ABOUT ECONOMIC PLAN

	His economic plan is a lie.  What will his tax increase (which I do
support) on the rich get us, $15 billion, $20 billion tops?  Where in the hell
will he get the rest of the money?  Big business, small business, my folks, my
wife and I?  Where does that little snake plan to raise the other $130 billion
bucks...maybe that one commercial that Bush aired about how it will hit the
middle class was true.
  
CRY BABY-BILL

	It seems that if you ever criticize or even mention his lousy economic
plan, that Bill becomes defensive.  He'll say stuff like, "just because Bush
doesn't have any plan for the future he attacks mine!".  That statement may be
true, but it doesn't change the fact that his plan is lame.  What is Bill going
to do if/when he becomes president?  After the economy remains the same or gets
worse, as it will, is he going to say,"what do you mean the economy is bad? 
George Bush had no economic plan!!".  

	Of course if you dare criticize his judgement you become a Mcarthyite or
a fascist, depending on who does the name calling.  If I ever avoided a draft or
cheated on my wife it would be more than fair to bring this up in an election. 
It is a question of judgement and honesty, not patriotism.

	One last point.  Clinton has no credibilty in attacking George Bush's
flip flop on taxes.  Anyone who plans to raise over a hundred billion in taxes is
not in a position to criticize others who have raised taxes.  I remember back
when Bush raised taxes, all the liberals out here were saying that he was brave
and intelligent for doing so.  It wouldn't suprise me if the liar himself praised
Bush.  I bet some of the liberals on the net complimented him after a fashion. 
Now, of course, Bush is weak or a liar for raising taxes according to these same
hypocrites that were praising him earlier.  This is a funny world we live in.
