"No Bill, the republicans siezed control of the house in 2002 with a republican president (BUSH) and proved they don't stand for a balanced budget. Those are the facts."
The Republicans took control of the House (and Senate) in 1994.
Your facts are WRONG, you've been corrected before, and you still ignore them.
"Independent", you are a partisan, ignorant of history and facts, and are not worth speaking to further on the subject.

Same smoke screens, same cult-like & irrational patterns of thinking, same "blame Bush" syndrome
Yup ... no doubt about it!!!

I was doing my normal schtick
With my wild beard and gutshot eyes,
Laying on the doomsday thing thick
In D.C where I specialize.
A blogging pundit must have seen
And heard me warning of the end.
I sort of feel he does demean
The message that I try to send.
He is a p.r. parasite,
Feeding off of whoever's in,
Making a living off the plight
Of victims of the D.C. sin.
And he had the audacity
To label me an S.O.B.!

“No balanced budget until NEWT. Took many budgets and several closing down government to get Clinton to sign. Was part of CONTRACT WITH AMERICA. “

No Bill, the republicans seized control of the house in 2002 with a republican president (BUSH) and proved they don't stand for a balanced budget. Those are the facts. The Bush years saw MASSIVE deficit spending and massive corporate bailouts!
A president has veto power. If Bill Clinton wasn't for a balanced budget then he would have vetoed the bills.
I remember those days int he late 1990s. I remember very clearly the republicans demanding that instead of a balanced budget we have a tax cut! Well they finally got their wish in 2002. Hence the Bush years of disgrace!
The facts are hard to recognize without your spin Bill. Bill's in the spin zone! Go FOX man go! ha ha!

I can repeat myself again if you still don't get it!
And a president can veto a bill, they can't be forced to sign a bill. :)

No wonder you repeatedly post the same comment on most articles. You don't do well with the facts off the cuff. Won't waste my time disproven each one. I'll see your comment repeated many times...
