Holy crap, you are more negative and cynical than me :)
Yes, Clinton got the best of Newt in late 2005.
Yesterday on FNC Cavuto they went through a list of pro-economic things passed under Clinton, capital gains tax cuts for one, reduction of deficit is another, welfare reform. I knows these were not perfect, but compare to No Child or medicare drugs for seniors, or ethanol.
By the end of the 90s, 2000 it was pretty much over. The good ones got out. The party GWB took over was completely different. And after GWB we could never dream those hopeful dreams again.
Not cynical, realistic.

"We need to come up with thoughtful ideas, and challenge others ideas here." ~your own words, my friend.
Let us go forth & do it now.
Before it really is too late? ;^)
