The "era of AIDS" was worse in the 90's than in the 80's and nobody cared about deficits. People look back fondly because the American public did well in the 1980's economically and the Cold War ended in the 80's. I don't understand why this is so difficult for people to just admit.

I too adore Michael Moore. How can you not? He's so cute and cuddly. Not to mention that he's right about absolutely everything, and isn't annoying or abrasive at all! Oh, and don't get me started on Israel. Goddamn Zionist sons of bitches... as a member of the American left, you might rightly expect that I support Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his quest to wipe Israel off the map. Seriously, why doesn't the man just show some Bush-like initiative and invade already? Damn the torpedoes! Seriously, Dugger, you're a complete asshat. What's the matter with you?

That leaves a lot of ground in the middle. So what you are saying Dugger is that the fringe whackos don’t like him. That leaves a lot of ground in the middle.

Between the polarized right that won't forgive his real and apprarent moral transgressions to the yahoo left that sees him as a 'Republican-accomodatin' DLC centrist that caved on things like gay rights welfare reform, there is really very little broad based admiration of Clinton.
