"A positive outcome of Clinton's victory was the GOP taking control of congress in 1994, Bush Sr. even made a similar comment at the time."

... and you take this as some sort of endorsement of Clintons presidency ?

BTW, is the GOP taking control of Congress a good thing from your Conservative point of view ?

More of unintended benefit, never voted for the guy. Bush Sr. seemed to think the same.

I think it may have been even better than Reagan's victory in 1980, or at least it had the potential to be. All my life the Democrats held the House, and in November of 1994 I was very happy, in my own state of Washington the House lineup went from 8D-1R to 6R-3D!

I recall my father telling me a main principle of politics was "you're supposed to dance with the person who brought you to the dance." I can not fathom why Republican politicians have such a hard time grasping this concept.

Dubya is a great example, without the support of Christians he would have lost, but in his inaugural address he elevated the Koran to the level of the Torah and the Bible. The NRA supported him, but his Attorney General nominee is on record supporting the assault weapons ban, the very issue that cost Democrat Speaker of the House Tom Foley his seat in 1994. Not to mention that Gonzales membership in the 5th column La Raza group should rule him out anyway.

Like I say, the GOP leadership seems to think they are entitled to conservative votes.
