Why's that?  I said that it's better to balance the budget than to 
overspend, you agreed, and now I'm a lost cause?  What I'm saying is this: 
We shouldn't spend more than we take in.  Is that showing total devotion 
to liberalism?  I always thought that was supposedly a conservative idea. 
Clinton balanced the budget.

I do not do that.

That's not true.  I want a left wing liar who works as a reporter, pudit, 
anchorman, talk-show host, etc. - a news person.  The discussion about 
Clinton came up several days ago in the context of fraud by elected 
officials.  You compare Reagan's Iran-Contra scandal and Nixon's Watergate 
scandal with Clinton's statements about his sexual behavior -- I think 
that is almost pathological.  Do you really believe those things are 
comparable?  Take a history course!  The fact that Clinton had sex with 
some woman has *nothing* to do with any of us or the welfare of our 
nation.  It is a scandal created by Republicans as part of their sick 
vendetta against the President.  Read about Watergate and Iran-Contra and 
tell me those weren't *extremely* serious and important allegations 
against those Presidents.  Lying about sex is not in that league.  Give me 
a break!
