HA! You should always look before you leap. Otherwise you're bound to fall right in it!

Did you just miss or did you ignore my post at #49

Take a look, einstein.

And who were Clinton’s opponents both times?

1992: George W. Bush - the man that called supply side economics “vodoo economics”, who ran in 1988 as having converted to Reganomics, but implemented Keynesian economic policies as president.

1996: Bob Dole - A down the line keynesian on economic issues. The guy that echoed Nixon’s famous “We’re all keynesians now” statement. That election was similar to the 2008 election, in that the GOP candidate (Dole/McCain) was so liberal they had to add a bastion of the right (Kemp/Palin) to the ticket to get any conservative votes at all.

The fact is Clinton was at least open to supply-side economic ideas, unlike the two GOP candidates (Bush & Dole) who were simply hard-core keynesians trying to pretend they were supply-siders.
