Clinton - Should have been impeached from day one, for making welfare accessible to low to no income drug users
Clinton had nothing to do with what your statement says. Welfare had been available to low, to no income people, for many years prior to his Presidency.

signed the fucking 1994 Crime Bill which took away our constitutional right to full access to the second amendment
I do not know what you mean by full access. Maybe you can explain.

loosened resitrictions on food stamps - before his reign the only thing that could be bought with food stamps were WIC approved foods like milk, cheese, bread - Now food stamps can be used for everything under the super market's roof this includes lottery tickets, cigarettes
It is not true that before his reign the only thing that could be bought with food stamps had to be WIC approved items. WIC coupons can only be used for foods like milk, cheese etc. , but food stamps have always been used to purchase any food item.

It is still illegal to purchase lottery tickets, cigarettes, liquor or any non food item with food stamps. This is not to say that some markets don't abide by this.

and fucking steak and cakes (WTF should poor people eat steak and cake? They are fucking poor! When you see an obese welfare parasite the reason is because they can now buy frozen pizzas and steak with your hard earned tax dollars!), modified the look of food stamps(food stamps don't come in booklets anymore, they are now on govt issued check cards, so welfare recipients aren't embarassed at check out!)
The majority of food stamp reciepients are the working poor and should be allowed to feed their families whatever their budget will allow (which is supplemented by foodstamps). And an occasional steak or cake is not out of line. By the way most of the bills (including Welfare reform) that Clinton signed were not his bills but were bills introduced by the Republicans and some of the Republicans in congress even joked that he was the best Republican President they had ever had. He could used his veto power but seldom did.

restricted environmental standards which in turn shot up fossil fuel prices
Environmental standards need to be increased. This is the only planet we have to live on. If it is used up we do not have a replacement on hand.

listened to his wife and tried to setup a universal health care system (great higher taxes and shitty HMO style healthcare to boot, look at the condition of Canada's health system, most of those canucks want to come here so they can live, because you have to get on a fucking waiting list in order to get care even for emergencies.), and his wife wants to be president.
This failed.

Personally, I love it when republicans are in office because taxes are lower especially here in Virginia(Gillmore tried to repeal our car tax but Warner put it back in) which always means more money in my pocket. Democrats on the other hand treat people like they are stupid and need the help of the Govt. to live, why do you think they favor so many Social programs, plus they have a tendancy to put in a lot of ridiculous regulations in the Civil Service sectors which fucks with my job.
There may be some legitimate arguments there.
