I found both threads conducting a Google search using various word combos.
>> Here's another one [blast from the past]
ROFL! It reads *exactly* like the Giuliani threads! You could do a search-and-replace on candidate names and I'll bet you couldn't tell the 1998 threads from the 2007 ones!
BTW, thanks for the "google" tip. I spend half my life on google yet it didn't occur to me to craft a FR-specific search (slapping forehead). I was "stuck on stupid" trying to make the FR search feature do it.
I remember those old threads well. That's what I try to point out to people. George W. Bush was not popular around here until the general election.
There have been major disagreements about these things over the years. But things work themselves out! :)
The people who weren't here then, need to read all of these threads and see, for themselves,who said what and when!
I remember that. I also remember that before November 2006's election we were told that the WOT was the most important thing, but now it seems that social issues rule the day.
Isn't it fascinating that neither abortion nor gun control was mentioned in Newt's Contract with America and yet now it's all the rage?
