The problem is that balancing the budget was merely a broken campaign pledge...I would compare it to Clinton running on Welfare Reform, but in office he vetoed such reform TWICE uintil finally he relented to Congress. Secondly, despite all the New Deal infusions...we saw a prolonged Depression that did not end until after WWII. You should read 'FDR's Folly' for more on this subject.
I agree, having created a site called Clinton's Bin Laden-gate, but I disagree having supported both the War in Afghanistan and Iraq, because our mission has focused more on nation building in both those countries while even the President has repeatedly made politically correct statements about how Islam is a religion of peace. Furthermore, you may surprised to learn that defense spending really hasn't increased nowhere to the extent non-defense discreationary spending has...
Well Clinton-lite is better than Clinton-max. And you got two conservative judges instead of two more Ginsbergs. Kind of hard to put a smiley face on this stench but politics is, after all, always about the lesser of evils.
A president who knows that preventive medicine with prescription coverage means medicare will spend less on seniors because they will get to the doctor before they're diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart troubles. Will get some treatment so their bones don't break before they learn their lacking calcium.
Sorry if you'd rather the young and the old go straight to hell for all you care.
Better these things than more great society welfare that doesn't work.
It would be hard to believe that he wasn't. He was ranked most liberal Senator in Congress for a few years if you recall.
Of course KerryGore would have gone on an E.O. rampage, just like Clintoon did.
Inflation, the answer to debt. It's the government way.
Seems to me the "wasted" vote is the vote for big government. With both the dems and pubs neck and neck in the race for insanely bloated government, a vote for either of those parties would seem a "wasted" vote.
Yeah, right. Kerry was the most liberal Senator in the place. Had Kerry been President we wouldn't have gone after Al Quada, we would have had tax increases instead of tax cuts, would have been "negotiating" with Iran and had two more Ginsberg's on the SC. It's interesting to me how people get carried away and completely lose perspective. Yes, things can always be worse.
"It would be hard to believe that he wasn't. He was ranked most liberal Senator in Congress for a few years if you recall."
The president needs to have congress pass a law before he signs it. Republicans have demonstrated that they hold a democratic president to a MUCH higher standard than they hold their own.
Kerry would try to spend more, but fail.
We'll, we have conservative judges because CONSERVATIVES nrefused Harriet Miers nomination! I suppose you want us to make a Faustian Deal..
Who knows. The whole thing looked like a ploy and she was pulled. I'm not convinced conservatives had that much to do with it. Bush does his own thing and we can all attest to that.
Kerry would spend more. Somehow I don't feel that confident our wobbly Republican Congress would have been that successful in holding him back based on their track record.
for later
Sadly, I agree
Considering he referenced the Bush Administration as "Bush Regime", I would guess so...
That's right. "With Bush all we got was Clinton-lite." Triangulation to win elections.
Pointing out how this administration wastes my tax dollars is not a liberal position. It's a conservative one. Something Republicans know little, if anything, about.
