PONDERING THEIR LOSS: DEMOCRATS LOOK BACK (they still don't get it?)
NY POST ^ | 11/13/04 | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Posted on 11/13/2004 3:16:13 AM PST by Liz

Peter Beinart was even more hysterical than usual this week ("The Right Way out of the Wilderness," Opinion, Nov. 6). He alleged that there was "conservative anti-Americanism" following the failure to impeach Bill Clinton. What is he talking about? Whatever you think of the impeachment, it was not "anti-American." It was merely holding a lying, degenerate scoundrel to account. When that becomes anti-American, we are doomed. Joe Santora Manhattan

*****

John Kerry's stances on the issues were strictly out of the past. His economic policies were Keynesian. His foreign-policy solutions were a product of 1960s thinking. His trade policies were a pre-Depression relic. And his solutions to social problems were from the New Deal mentality that looks to government first to solve every problem. In his 1996 re-election campaign, Clinton spoke of building a bridge to the 21st century. Kerry's policies would have brought us back to the 20th century. Albert Paparesta Brookfield, Conn.

*****

Where were these astute critiques and pearls of wisdom before Kerry's stunning defeat last Tuesday? Most of Beinart's columns, with regard to the race for president, as I recall, consisted of not much more than strident, liberal Bush-bashing. Only now does he want to offer thoughtful advice to his candidate. Wednesday morning quarterback, anyone? Tommy Drennan Jersey City, N.J.

Good post. Glad to see you give Perot his due.
At the dem convention you could hear the murmer of the crowd "Oh look, he is brilliant and he is almost black" when Obama came out. They are counting on big things from him.

Yes the Senate failed us but in their perfidy they also saved us from a President Gore. Gore might have won re election and been in the White House on 9-11. Chew on that for a while.

" ... might have ..." is a long way from a turned-out of office Clinton.

The Senate failed - a fact for all to see - period, full stop.

AlGore, finishing Clinton's term and then being elected as President (not re-election) - a non sequitur.

Would President Gore have been re-elected after finishing clinton's term? Always a possibility. Thanking God were not faced with that possibility!
