  ISR issue 13 | Eight years of Clinton-Gore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Clinton won the 1992 election calling for change from Reagan-Bush’s "12 years of trickle-down economics." Instead, in his first couple of years as president, he pushed harder for passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the 1994 crime bill than he did for anything that helped win him the election.
Clinton adopted most of the GOP program, including its retrograde "welfare reform." At the same time, he staged high-profile battles with the Republican Neanderthals to show that they were "going too far." This strategy revived Clinton’s presidency.
Clinton took office promising to focus on the economy "like a laser beam." In keeping with his populist campaign themes, he pledged a "stimulus package" to create jobs and a "middle-class tax cut" to put money in ordinary people’s pockets.

 Doug Bandow on Clinton-Gore & Civil Liberties on National Review Online
The administration did, however, use the Oklahoma City bombing as an excuse to propose sweeping new federal powers — such as restricting the right of habeas corpus and expanding use of wiretaps — even though proponents were unable to point to a single example where civil-liberties protections prevented the police from deterring terrorism.
Clinton, Gore and Company, who constituted the most wiretap-friendly administration in U.S. history, essentially sought to eliminate the requirement of a warrant for searches from the Fourth Amendment.
Marijuana arrests were up 50 percent over Bush-41 years and the Clinton-Gore administration consistently sought to frustrate state voters who approved measures to allow the desperately ill — victims of AIDS and cancer, in particular — from using marijuana to ease their nausea and pain.

Similarly, the Kyoto treaty is an historic effort to strike a grand bargain between free-market capitalism and the protection of the global environment, now gravely threatened by rapidly accelerating warming of the Earth's atmosphere and the consequent disruption of climate patterns that have persisted throughout the entire history of civilization as we know it.

The perception instilled by the Clinton-Gore administration is that the economy is great, and we are better off than ever before despite the fact that most high paying jobs have disappeared for the average American worker.
Clinton has claimed that his administration created 18 million new jobs during his first four years in office.

 Clinton/Gore Administration Backs Occidental Petroleum (Part 2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
When a gas drilling project by Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) in northeastern Bangladesh went disastrously wrong in 1997, officials at the highest level of the Clinton/Gore administration stepped in to defend the company and to preserve its contract with the Bangladeshi government.
A series of US government interventions on behalf of Oxy to the Bangladeshi government suggest that the Clinton/Gore administration was effectively offering private diplomatic services to the Los Angeles-based oil company.
A confidential memo from Richardson to the Bangladeshi government said, "I'm troubled by reports that the future of the joint venture between Occidental Petroleum and Unocal is in jeopardy." He told the government to "move swiftly to grant the extension so they can get on with their important work.

 WorldNetDaily: Long, green arm of the law
Now, these same environmental organizations have the audacity to charge the Bush administration of being "in the pocket" of corporate polluters, when it is they who polluted the government for eight years.
When the Bush administration edited an EPA report to remove references to global warming predictions developed during the Clinton-Gore era, the greens cried "censorship," and newspapers across the country amplified their charge.

 WorldNetDaily: Did the INS import votes?
The Immigration and Naturalization Service's Florida district was engaged in a "systematic" program of speeding aliens through the citizenship process in an effort to enhance Democratic voter turnout on election day, according to a legal watchdog organization.
Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based public-interest legal group that has launched a number of lawsuits against the Clinton administration, says an INS source told the group's lawyers the program in question "is nearly identical to the now infamous 1996 'Citizenship USA' program."
