"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

How low can Clinton go?
As a matter of fact, former Presidents Reagan, Ford or Bush did not say a word during the Clinton '98 impeachment proceedings. They did not travel to Republican fundraisers and say that Pres. Clinton had stained the Oval Office.
I personally recall the first Pres. Bush showered with questions about impeachment during a political event in Dallas. He did not comment one bit on Pres. Clinton's problems. He also refused questions on Somalia and the attacks on the two US embassies in Africa.
Former presidents have stayed out of partisan politics. It is no longer that way. Clinton has taken us to a new low, which is a remarkable statement considering that we are talking about the 42nd president of the US.
Pres. Clinton said that the Iraq invasion was a mistake. He is entitled to his opinion. However, you do not go to the Middle East and make such an attack on Pres. Bush. Clinton's remarks are a boost to the enemy. They do not help at all.

I have two questions:
1) What is Sen. Hillary Clinton's position?
2) Why did he wait until November '05 to say this? Why didn't former Pres. Clinton say this in March '03?
Why is he doing this? I think that Dick Morris is right. Morris was on the Sean Hannitty radio show today and said that the Clintons are doing a left-right dance. Bill moves to the left and lets Hillary move to the right.
Mickey Kaus explains it this way in his popular blog:
"Taking Clintonism to the next level!
The old Clintonism: One Clinton succeeds in making both sides think he agrees with them.
The new Clintonism: One Clinton pitches to one side while the other assuages the other side.
Example: Hillary carefully maintains her appeal to pro-war voters while her husband denounces the war that she voted for as a "a big mistake." ... A two-person straddle was needed because Hillary isn't gifted enough a talker to practice the old single-player Clintonism by herself. [Didn't they use this technique before--Bill said he was for "ending welfare as we know it" while liberals were allowed to hope that Marian Wright Edelman's friend Hillary would stop him?--ed True.
But you didn't have Bill saying we should reform welfare while Hillary was out in public saying that would be a "big mistake." ...
Prediction: The new trick won't work. Hillary will come under added pressure because of her husband's remarks.
