I was actually talking about Hillary. She is smart and qualified.

Bill is a different kettle of fish. Bill was very smart and talking to so
me of politicians in Ireland they had a huge amount of respect for him. There was a great reverence for his intelligect in a room. He is a great deal maker on the world stage and personnally believe with a bit more time Israel and Palistine could have been better for both states. Bush's stance of Israel at all costs has dimmissed the US as a mediator in there conflict..

Bill and a Republican congress reduced the size of the goverment and created a fisical responsabilty without gutting every social program going. That's a main conservative aim no matter if it's a Dem or Rep who got it. Bush has failed miserabilly in this. Tax cuts during a war spells naive ecomomics, it just pushes the cost to other generations.

On the darker stuff. I am a european, we don't give a crap about that stuff. We have a differing look on or politicians. Fidelity is not an important issue as social issues divorce, abortion,... are are rigitly enshired in our constituation and not left to a bunch of judges appointed by the president. What is important is the issues he stands for and not his personnal life within reason... We don't elect boy scouts. We elect guys that goto bat for us, be it the EU, treaties, against unions or dealing with burocracy.. Conutries are compete against each others(especially smaller ones), we try and get the best guy/girl we can to fight in our corner...

No way a leader of any European country be asked did you have an affair... It is considered none of our business..
