Ghod, I would _love_ to play a “friendly” game of poker with you.

This could be just the break the Perot campaign has been waiting for!

I’m not an ardent Clinton supporter, but I would just prefer to deal in facts instead of exaggeration, speculation, and supposition.

You made mention (for the umpteenth time) of some plain brown envelope that will finally end Clinton’s campaign.

When I ask you about this impending scandal, you reference Whitewater. That’s what we call “moving the goalposts.” If you were intending to beat the Whitewater drum, then why didn’t you do so originally? Or are you admitting that you have no reason to believe that there is some new upcoming scandal (like the bribe you mentioned upthread), and all you have is rehashed rhetoric from the 1990’s?

And if there are people who lost their life savings in the “Whitewater scam”, please name them.

Yeah, but we don’t start threads about it. OP’s should usually include some analysis or interpretation of your quoted material.

Since there doesn’t seem to be much conversation here absent the OP, who has since been banned as a troll, I’m going to close this thread.
