Well immoderate, why don't you spell it out for everyone? If you've
forgotten, the argument was that Clinton was an effective President even
though he tried to screw everything that moved and then lied about it.
You see, among the sane his behavior was seen as douchey but not nearly
as bad as misleading the country into a war that so far has cost
hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives. Or his "let's
cut taxes and print more money" economic policies. Or their endless
bungling of their handling of detainees. Et cetera.

Tax revenue went up after the Bush tax cuts. Only one Democrat voted
against the authorization to send troops.

I don't think you understand what the word paranoid means.
