: Quin, are you saying Clinton is a capitalist? By American standards, he's way to the socialist, liberal left; and his wife, Hillary, is further to the elitist left then her husband.

Let's see:

Someone who supported (pushed!) NAFTA and GATT???
Someone who supports slave labor abroad???
Someone who invests heavily in the stock market???
Someone who soliciits and receives campaign contributions from multi-national conglomerates???
Someone who's military budget was larger than asked for by the pentagon???
Someone who offers tax cuts to big business???
Someone who continually talks about "growing the 'economy'"???

I wish Klinton was a socialist!!! then maybe he'd...

Pull the plug on NAFTA and GATT
Opose slave labor abroad
Work to disolve the stock market
Revoke the charters of multi-national conglomerates
Eliminate the military budget
Disolve big business
Recognize the real meaning of the word 'economy'

Then I could support Klinton.

P.S. Here's a hint for you...pick out all the people on this board who you think are 'socialists' and count how many are Klinton supporters. That should tell you if he is a 'socialist' or not. (The same thing when looking at despotic governments, like China... Klintons favorite source of cheap labor, who you probably think is 'socialist'. Try it! How many 'socialists on this board support the Chinese government?)

Let me know how your count turns out!
