That said some of the worst legislation since the days of LBJ was passed under GW Bush's term with a two house GOP majority. Ted Kennedy could not have ever hoped to inflict as much damage unless the useful GOP-E FOOLS & IDIOTS had helped all his dreams come true.
Note also this was not the same ones who were in control of the party in 1994-95 who offered us Contract with America and smaller government. No indeed a Coup in the party took place.
Riddle me this. What does Bill Paxon and John Boehner have in common in their relationship toward Newt? There are two GOP's and one faction is as evil & wrong in agenda as the DEMs. Yet many still defend them even in FR. The DEMs we know are basically evil. The GOP for their own decided price decided to join them. Look around you. Who is leading congress? Who is badmouthed by GOP-E senators in the senate trying to stop this mess? The few left who are Patriots that's who.
I gave you the concept as it was needed in the criminal justice community to solve crimes, that was not a political move until this Administration made it about using for political purposes...learn to separate things and not ‘throw out the baby with the bathwater’. Generalizations do not help anyone.
As for your comment italicized, today LBJ was compared to Obama and their Administrations noted as so similar.
I’m not making arguments for anyone, only stating the purposed creation was misused, and hopefully one day will be restored to it’s original planned purpose by a less politically warped group of people.
