Stating that one of his policies was in error does not constitute animus. BTW, your comment about posting from the basement of the DNC is getting stale.

Stale? Sheesh your dashole/gephardt/hillary rhetoric on FR was stale long ago.

You're the self-admitted registered Democrat - perhaps you're a shill.

You're the...  You need to..

It's always interesting how even freepers can cling to emotional positions at all costs.  We tend to forget that there've been good Democrats and bad Republicans, and it's policy not politics that matters.

In the economy it's services --not manufacturing that matters.  Services account for 60 percent of the GDP, 75 percent of employment, and 90 percent of all new jobs.  Sure, we all miss the loss of our smokestack factories but those lifestyles went the way of the old agricultural and 'hunting-and-gathering' patterns of less advanced societies.

This is an emotional issue - and when people get upset they call for big government to bail them out with high import taxes so as to redistribute our hard earned wealth to those unwilling to compete in the marketplace.
