Unless you're trying to say he's better than Reagan, I fixed that for you.
oops, good catch. Sorry about that. I was 8 when he left office.
Well .....except for that pesky little impeachment thing. Lying under oath ain't jaywalkin'.
As for " .... the best President we've had within my lifetime (I'm 29)" Really? Really? REALLY?
Uhm. He was found not guilty by the Senate. So, officially and legally, he did not lie under oath. Did he? Probably. I will note the irony for this thread. Newt was doing exactly what he was accusing Clinton of doing, while he was making the accusations. In my opinion, that makes him a morally worse man than Clinton.
Don't get me wrong. Clinton was a complete scumbag politician. He was however not a stupid complete scumbag politician. The Presidents since Clinton have been significantly worse in civil liberties, financial prudence, expansion of government, etc. I am NOT saying Clinton was good. Not remotely. I'm saying his competition is worse. When the Nazis protest the Communists, you do not pick a side. You pray for a kinetic strike from the Gods with a twenty kilo chunk of carbonaceous chondrite.
His major lasting piece of legislation was the AWB, while completely unconstitutional, was functionally insignificant in practice. It only provided market distortion for a step above cosmetic features. Yea, he did let the BATFE off the leash and they burned a bunch of Texans. Notice, now the BATFE can't even get a director. They're getting curb stomped by Congress at every opportunity. Personally, I'd prefer their dissolution and imprisonment of any BATFE employees that violated US law.
I realize you're probably not a Dem. I am. I doubt you care much about internal politics of the Dem party either, which is fine. Clinton is the reason why the Dems outside of People's Republic states will not touch gun control with a twenty foot pole. He admitted the AWB was a really stupid idea that did nothing but lose a metric ton of votes/cash. Since then, every smart Dem Congresscritter outside of the People's Republics of California, New Jersey, MA, New York, etc has either STFU on the 2A or found Jesus, so to speak. Reid is kinda a perfect example. Another complete scumbag politician, I will grant. And one of the best defenders of the Second Amendment. (Yes, I'm sure that hurts one's brain.)
