You ever notice that a mention of Hillary, who I am not impressed with, always goes back to the viseral hate for her husband?

its strange, really. Republicans hate Clinton for being succesful. They accuse Democrats of being crazy for hating Bush for being incompetent and a failure

No.

Clinton's just another excuse to pillory the Democrats who want a reform of the electoral college.

(Clinton never won the popular vote and for some reason, Democrats during his presidency didn't want to reform the electoral college..)

He didn't? Did you just arrive from a parallel universe? So tell me who won the popular vote?

1992:

http://www.presidentelect.org/e1992.html

Clinton - 43%
GHW Bush - 37.4%
Perot - 18.9%

Who won the popular vote? Perot?

Or maybe Perot won in 1996?

http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/fe1996/summ.htm

Clinton - 49.2%
Dole - 40.7%
Perot - 8.4%

If you are that shocked about an exaggerated incident from 1993, I suggest you pick up the paper tomorrow. You'll read about some more current incidents in the White House that should really spark your outrage.

Thank you for your outrage, now why don't you turn your attention to more current issues, such as White House involvement in the destruction of torture tapes?

By win, I meant receive a clear majority.

Thanks for those numbers though. You've shown that the first time he ran, most people didn't want him to be president, and the second time he ran, most people didn't want him to be president.

Um, more people wanted him to be President than wanted any other candidate to be President. Both times. He won the popular vote. Twice. You apparently are unaware of the difference between winning the popular vote (which he clearly did making your post dead wrong) and winning a majority vote when there are three major candidates. That's a bit sad really, that I understand your system better than you and I'm a foreigner. You were taught this stuff in school. Guess it didn't stick.

And as for the rest of your post which I had quoted earlier but didn't address because I was in a merciful mood...

(Clinton never won the popular vote and for some reason, Democrats during his presidency didn't want to reform the electoral college..)

Why would they? Why would anyone? Would Perot getting electoral college votes in a 3 way election make ANY difference as to the outcome? Seriously, tell me how electoral college reform would have changed the outcome of either election (1992, 1996). I'm challenging you to show those words you typed had any meaning at all, can you do it?

There are essentially two possibilities upon analyzing your post. You are either woefully ignorant or you assume the rest of us are woefully ignorant and will not catch you posting intentionally misleading and disengenuous posts. I have no idea which of the two we're dealing with here. I kind of hope its the first, because the second would make you willfully dishonest. And that concerns me considering that you are a moderator here.

That's true, but it's also true that most people voted for somebody else meaning that most people didn't want him to be President

Your point is what? You're referencing endgames response to me not his initial post that I was addressing. He said Clinton did not win the popular vote. He did indeed win the popular vote. You agree with that don't you?

I never said he won the majority vote. It wasn't me making an assertion it was Endgame. The assertion being that Clinton did not win the popular vote. I showed he was wrong, then he tried to change what he said to 'majority vote'.

And you're backing him up? I've read many of your posts, and while we have different philosophical outlooks I know you to be a person of conviction and strong moral character. So I'm guessing you read the last few posts but not the initial ones. Peace.

And Engame clarified that what he meant by not winning the popular vote was that he never won a majority. Perhaps you missed that

I didn't miss anything. Endgame can not change the definition of what it means to win the popular vote. Endgame was wrong and when I pointed that out he attempted to redefine what winning the popular vote means. And since you're backing him up, you're wrong too.

He merely clarified what he meant. So what we know is that Clinton never won a majority of the popular vote, but he did win a majority of the electoral vote which means that most Americans who voted wanted someone other than Clinton to be president.
