Isn't is always amazing that large issues geared in peoples favor fail by one vote? The term limits could have passed because this same group - the Supremes - would have overturned it. Remember in government, once you figure out the rules & start to put these in place for our benefit, the pols change the rules. Remember one other statement by me when GW was 1st elected I stated & guaranteed no true conservative Supreme Court when he left.
I'm just listening to the radio and they're (virginradio.co.uk) playing "I Love Rock N Roll" by Joan Jett, and it made me think of Newt, and how he really rocks, and could take on any and all challengers.
I was a Dem and had voted for Clinton way back then, and yet, I'd see Newt & Clinton on television, and I'd listen to what Newt had to say, with an open mind, though I was, at that time extremely leftwing. And what Newt was saying was making sense to me, in fact, it seemed (to me) that Clinton was capitulating to Newt, because Newt was just plain smarter.
I think it was Newt, Michael Savage, and the real world of working for the San Francisco Unified School District that all came together and changed me, forever.
