Go Dems!
The Clintons are a co-dependent millstone around the
neck of the Dimocrats and they are too blind to see it.

Clintonism and its central tenets -- providing people with more opportunity while demanding more responsibility, and being willing to try new methods to realize progressive ideals

In other words, an awesome amount of BS.

They left out the part about using your office for your own personal gratification.

The only reason Clinton was thought of as successful is because the press pretended he was! Being impeached and disbarred is success in the minds of the left these days. Being a rapist must be too!

"Clinton won handily because he reconnected the Democratic Party to the principles that had made it a majority party in the first place: Andrew Jackson's credo of opportunity for all, Franklin D. Roosevelt's thirst for innovation and John F. Kennedy's ethic of mutual responsibility. He put forward the most ambitious Democratic agenda since Lyndon B. Johnson, and the most broadly successful one since FDR."

Does this paper publish in an alternate universe?

Almost everything he promised to do he either reneged or failed at.

> Middle Class tax cut? Reneged (Rush discussed this in 1993 in "See, I Told You So")

>Hillary Care? Went nowhere. (Thankfully)

>Al Gore as 'Co-President' (Yes that was the promise in 1992) Forget about it.

>Gays in the military? Reneged. (Again thankfully)

"I will not coddle the dictators in Bejing." One of his biggest whoppers -- he allowed (some say sold) Red China the technology to build ICBMs AND the technology to arm them with MRVs.

His "successes" were the result of accepting the 1994 Republican Contract With America and claiming it was his idea!

That SOB unleashed fascism and had rural America on the verge of a civil war against the federal eco-marxist bureaucracy.

If only Democrats had a proven formula for winning elections and governing the country. Fortunately, we do: It's called Clintonism.

But the only problem is that nobody can do it like Bill.

Remember all the 1990's Dems that lost elections or switched parties to save their skin?

And now when Hillary triangulates, she gets booed by Democrats.

Clintonism: Govern by polls. Move just as far to the center as your polls tell you to. Avoid any hard or controversial decisions. Equivocate. Do what looks good, nothing else.

People forget the first two years of Clinton-- he came out of the box on a hard Left bent, until his numbers went way down and Congress went GOP. Following that, he triangulated and did everythign by the polls, and shied away from any controversial or difficult decisions that might have had a bad effect on his numbers.

Clintonism isn't leadership, it's being an empty suit.

>> Democrats are racking their brains for a political philosophy

And that is precisely their problem -- they have no core belief, no philosophy, no moral values. They are slaves to power, willing to abandon whatever beliefs and principles they possess in order to grasp for elected office.

But everyone knows, a candidate who has no principles cannot be trusted with political office. He will not do what's right. He will not keep his promises. He has no position that he will not sell out.

To win, a candidate must above all convey firm convictions. This is where Democrats are hopeless.

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend

It's all over, my friend

Democrats are racking their brains for a political philosophy that can return the party to power.

Why haven't Democratic elites embraced Clintonism, given the former president's success?

Because merely winning elections isn't the true measure of "success".

Clinton, with his BS, managed to lose both the House and the Senate for the Democrats in 1996. That may be another historical landmark that the authors failed to recognize.

By any logical standard, Democrats of every stripe ought to be embracing Clintonism and its central tenets -- providing people with more opportunity while demanding more responsibility, and being willing to try new methods to realize progressive ideals. As an instrument of progress, it's beyond compare. Just recall its achievements: record budget surpluses, rising incomes, more than 22 million new jobs, millions leaving welfare and poverty for work.

As a political formula, its record is just as impressive. Not only was Bill Clinton the first Democratic president in 60 years to be reelected, but consider this: In the three elections before 1992, Democrats averaged 58 electoral votes. In 1992 and 1996, Clinton averaged 375. He won a dozen red states twice.

This article appears to have left out one very important fact that is probably the single most important reason Democrats today don't embrace "Clintonism," whatever the hell that is supposed to be.

Despite all of the "success stories" listed in this article, the Democrat Party was a silly, dysfunctional farce by the end of Clinton's term in office. By the time Clinton left the White House in 2001, the Republican Party had won control of the White House, both houses of Congress, and legislative and executive offices at the state level all over the U.S.

By the time the 2000 elections rolled around, even many Democrats were privately asking themselves if "Clintonism" was nothing more than a venereal disease that affects people with serious personality disorders.
