Well, in 95/96 the Left controlled the Presidency, the courts, and the MSM.
The MSM is greatly weakened. And the Republicans had better began truly resolving the problem with the courts.
I don't see the Reps making the same mistakes.
The true lesson of 95/96, IMO, is that there is not much of a constituency for real spending cuts. But there is one for conservative social policy.
I fully expect the latter to be enacted by the Reps. As for the former, I sadly do not expect, but understand, there will be little, if any, cuts in spending.
This is, BTW, where the Libertarian party could have a real effect, trying to educate the public on the benefits and need for real spending cuts - but the LP is apparently to busy trying to help the Democrats reachieve political power apparently.
But there is one for conservative social policy.
So who are the Republican "leaders" speaking out on cultural issue? I hear the oxymoron of a "deafening silence."
I have yet to see the Dan Rather report.
I have yet to see CBS pay any price at all for fraudulently attempting to influence the election.
Take a look around and count all the "Guiliani for Prez" and "McCain for Prez" threads. We won by going Conservative in 2004...but we're getting told that we need to go Left to win in 2008. Bah...
Yes -- the porno issue is apparently that important to them.
