Do you remember President Bush, before he took office, referring to the downturn in the economy? Clinton went mad, yelling about what it would do to consumer confidence and all of his minions lined up and agreed. Yet now these same minions come out, knowing full well that the only thing that can hurt us in Iraq is the loss of resolve, to try to break our collective will. I really think it's detestable and not one of us should forget.

Mario Cuomo, former New York governor, has a forthcoming book looking on how Lincoln might address the issues of today. As Cuomo sees it, the Constitution did not set that high a standard, but Lincoln raised the bar and presidents of both parties have continued to do so in one way or another.

``We are still what Lincoln called an unfinished work,'' he said in an interview. And each election is about moving closer to ``that more noble view of ourselves.''

Yes, I sure do. "Talking down the economy," is exactly what Clinton and the Dems said.

As I have said before, would you want to be in a party who hoped for deaths of our military so they could win?
