The Hunting of the President

[willhunting1995]

Clinton was impeached because he broke the law. The director of this movie was simply a friend of Clinton's from Arkansas. Clinton was a piece of shit, plain and simple!

ps3 > your entire worthless troll life

[willhunting1995]

@HurtingYourFeelings PS3 sucks almost as much as you do troll!

[whoo689]

I mean, most of hte movies coming out in theaters these days, for the last few years, HAVEN'T HELD A CANDLE to a great movie like Kevin Smith's "Clerks 2." Kevin Smith can make such better movies on low budgets than jackasses like Quentin Tarantino. And Brad Pitt? Don't get me started on his goofy-ass new look with the sleazy, douchebag mustache.

[whoo689]

Dubya vs. Kerry was the most boring and ridiculous election. And then it was followed by Obama vs. McCain, which was just a pain to follow. It could've been Paul vs. Kucinich or Paul vs. Gravel, but instead it's stupid-ass newbie Obama vs. old fart McCain.

Who knows what 2012 has in store for us! If the GOP gets desperate enough, they just might nominate Sarah Palin!!

[whoo689]

I'm no Democrat, but I gotta admit that the 90s (when Clinton was in office) were a helluva lot better, all things considered, and more enjoyable than the 2000s so far. I mean, 8 years of Bush and 7 months of Obama's nonsense?? No thanks! Our best years are behind us, I believe, as much as I hate to say it. The minute we let Bush get into office, we were royally fucked. And then the GOP nominates McCain instead of Ron Paul, and 53% of Americans vote for Obama's "hope and change."

[whoo689]

The 2000s so far have been a disaster. The only good year was 2000 before Bush was inaugurated. The only good thing about the early 2000s that I can really point to is 2000-2002 in WWF/WWE. Music in the 2000s sucks ass, and I haven't really listened to music much since the late 90s. All these idiotic superhero movies from Hollywood are the bane of my existence. Not that the other genres are doing much better. Hollywood is crumbling, obviously.  Unoriginal, boring-ass plots and shit movies.

[willhunting1995]

@whoo689 Clinton was a piece of crap who signed into law NAFTA which has costed Americans millions of manufacturing jobs which went overseas thanks to Clinton. Clinton also pushed for more home ownership by the poor and unemployed which has led to the current recession and housing crisis. Bill Clinton is easily one of the most overrated presidents in American history!

[digitalcntrl]

well these losers got what was coming to them.....the right got demolished in the 1998 elections because of it...

[willhunting1995]

@digitalcntrl But they still maintained control of the House and Senate until 2006. And don't forget that they took control of congress in 1994 when Clinton had record low approval ratings in 1993 and 1994, when his approval ratings was at only 32%

[digitalcntrl]

@willhunting1995

Still it is literally unheard of for the Party opposing the President's party to not gain seats in the off year election. In fact the last time the non-Presidential party did not gain seats in the President's second term was in 1822. The 1994 election occured before a lot of these attacks started.

[willhunting1995]

@digitalcntrl Actually, it's quite common for the party in power to lose seats in an offyear election. True the GOP lost SOME seats in 1998, but they still maintained control of both houses of congress from 1994-2006 which is a dozen years.

[mlkbeat]

@willhunting1995 Exactly... so your prior assertions about those responsible for the economic mess is simplistic to say the least. The point of the movie is not to glorify Clinton. It is to expose the truth behind the investigations. Did Clinton lie? Yes. Did he cheat? Yes. Was the motive of the investigation to make the White House moral? Clearly not. Look! I got through that entire response without profanity.

[willhunting1995]

@mlkbeat No, the so-called "point" of this film was that it wasn't fair for the congress to impeach Clinton when every House and Senate member takes an oath to impeach any president or government official suspected of criminal activity.

[kamalyare]

where can i get this dvd?

[cs925]

I urge all who watch this to BUY THE DVD!

I did - and loved it!

There is a special feature on it I think everyone should see: it's Bill Clinton talking to the first showing/screening of the film in NYC. He talks about the film and Republicans, etc...BUT one thing he mentions is REALLY interesting: he relates a conversation he had w/one of his Repub friends - I don't have time to retype it & I can't remember all of it but it really makes sense - even today!

[ComradeWesley]

Kenneth Starr is dog shit,and when he dies no one will care.Bill Clinton is a great man,and when he dies the world will stop,and everyone everyone will remember how great he was.

[ajacqx]

Sir, you have just dramatically and I think unfairly undersold dog-shit!

[DefConservative]

@ComradeWesley lol, u sound upset. Ken Starr is wealthy and has a cushy job while you're on youtube working your sausage fingers away. I love how he messed up all these people. Great film if you want to laugh how Clintons inner circle up!!

[hiimaaronwutsup]

It was a goddamn witch hunt. Those bastards in Congress didn't make a contract WITH America. They put a contract OUT ON America.

[thestarchamber3]

shut up with your ron paul crap.

here's what ron paul HAS done: allowed his signature to be on a hate letter to MLK jr., later saying he didn't know the contents of the letter.

ANYWAYS, read the Star Chamber. Steven Smith poses as "john wilkes" and gives you his account of being a deputy independent counsel (good guy, wrong team). it'll give you more than heart burn.

[lorax2013]

Watch the Clinton Chronicles. Stop believing that either party's political leaders represents your interests - they represent their own - power.

[DefConservative]

Boo Frickin Hoo! WA WA WA! Welcome to politics you big babies, if you're not ready to be scrutinized, don't bother with it

[hwbanger]

If Bush were a Democrat, all these congressional hearings would probably be on the big networks 24/7 instead of C-SPAN.

[RepublicanHamster]

Ron Paul 2008! Brief overview of Ron Paul's record: He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war.

[grazon]

He's also a john birtch loon would would eliminate FEMA and NATO.

[justvisiting1]

OK Long Live King William!, Long Live Queen Hillary! Put the media and the congress on 1-global american humanitarian aid military and non 2-iraqi govt objectives with dates and consequences 3-nato alliance for global security- wmd collection 4-anti missle, grow military, collect wmds 5-us health care option, shared responsibility 6-end global poverty 7-go to the moon = new transporation technologies, +20%+ alt energy by 2020 state by state = freedom 8-environmental protection

[UberAnglo]

As a conservative, I have to admit in hindsight that Clinton's impeachment was wrong. While he did lie considering what it was about was hardly earth-shattering. That said, as a lawyer himself, he should have known better. He handed his enemies that rope on a silver platter.

[PerryLogan]

All that money to smear him, and he was still tied with FDR as the most popular President of the 20th century.

[americans4mccain]

Ronald Reagan was the most popular!

[winasteussy]

source that Reagan claim, please...would that be according to AEI, Hoover Institute, or Fox News?

[brianmcqueary]

This is a fantastic film! To those that easily dismiss it, think about this. Why wasn't Clinton removed from office if the evidence was so damning, especially since Congress was controled by Republicans? Oh, that's right, the majority of the American people were outraged by this entire ordeal.

You can hate the Clinton's if you like, but you should also be hating your precious Republican leaders who let you down time and time again.

As for me, I'm already campaigning for Hilary.

[mftepera]

Clinton uses the Oval Office for satisfying his carnal urges. Now let's cry about Republicans trying to nail him to the wall --- typical Joe Conason garbage.

[tfustudios]

Wow! Typical lame right-wing comment from mftepera!

[Cassandra2008]

I'd rather a sitting president use the Oval Office to satisfy a "mutually consented" sexual urge than to use it to satisfy his own BLOODLUST (invasion & occupation of Iraq, 4000 US soldiers killed, *ZERO* WMD found, Osama still free!) or to satisfy his delusions of grandeur! ("If this were a DICTATORSHIP it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just as long as I'M the DICTATOR" [12/18/2000]; "PATRIOT" Act; NSA wiretaps; Military Commissions Act; etc.)

WHERE'S YOUR DAMN OUTRAGE NOW, you Repugnantcans?

[cs925]

Excellent comment! I couldn't agree more!

[DefConservative]

@Cassandra2008 CORNY!!!

[Cassandra2008]

@DefConservative ... Yeah? Well then, dispute *ANYTHING* I've said! JUST ONE THING! I'd rather be "CORNY!!!" than a placating "COWARD!!!"

[BuddyRey]

I just watched this film, and it was very well-done. It's neutral enough to portray Clinton as a flawed man, but essentially a good man who was unfairly set up by (and forgive me for the cliche) a vast right-wing conspiracy. Highly recommended viewing.
