Been thinking about that.
Realistically when was the last time we even had an opposition party?
No one opposes the direction, they only quibble over the speed.
I agree with your view of the Republicans. Of course, that is why I have decided to speak in terms of opposition.
While I rather like G. W. Bush, he was off on a tangent from Clinton, not in opposition to Clinton’s progressivism. As we can see, the Patriot Act is the largest single mistake since the War on Poverty.
