Good post Walt. I disagree with some of your conclusions on certian matters, but overall, I found that you were thinking.

Thanks. 1992 was -not- a good year for the voters. It seems to me though, that whatever else you say about Clinton, he was shot full of luck. Neither Bush can say that. The economy expanded almost the whole time Clinton was in office. He dodged any major military efforts, and -- he got to face weak Republican candidates. Reagan was simialry shot full of luck. Just as -he- came into office, the Iranians (who could have been a worse irritant than they were) were attacked by Iraq (actually in September, 1980) and their revolutionary fervor dissipated in a World War One style bloodbath. Oddly, that war lasted almost the entire time of Reagan's presidency.

Both the Bushes are decidedly unlucky. We'll see how the upcoming war goes with Iraq, but if a strong Democratic candidate can be found (a big if) then Bush II will be back in Texas as a one term president also.

I guess you could say that, but the truth of the matter was the liberal news media was corrupting the truth about him. Check out Don Hewett(sp)braging about it. If you don't have a copy of that tape, I can send it to you.

If we can agree on anything, Clinton dodged the draft. He also almost depleted us of cruise missiles over Serbia to keep Monica and the blue stained dress and his impeachment 'trial' out of the headlines.

Don't forget, Reagan got the our hostages out on inauguration day. Do you think if Carter was re-elected, that that would of happened?

Well, Bush 1 was stupid for going along with the tax increase that the democrats pushed on him in the name of 'national debt', and the liberal news media railed about it every night. Then as soon as Bush signed the Democrat legislation, they promptly turned and blamed Bush for the tax increase, along with their comrades in the liberal press. That is where you have this phrase stuck in your mind, "Read my lips". Effective yes, honest no.
