Um, we were discussing Congress, not the President. Seems you have trouble keeping the unit of analysis straight when you have to take the debate down with one more ad-hoc Clinton bash for its own sake.

I love how much the insane freerepublic.com people sound like the insane LBO people. They all say the same things - other than switching the words liberal and conservative. Clinton = Bush is a favorite phrase over there too.

The obvious fact in the US is that the political spectrum is not very broad, but folks who thing Helen Chenoweth has the same politics as John Conyers are just silly.
