Didn't Newt & company say they were going to defund PBS after the 1994 elections?

I liked (and voted for) the Republicans when they talked like that....

I don't think you are ever going to figure it out. The problem is never what leaders are going to do. Try just once in your life to get a clue. Right now Bush has 90 percent approval rating. Even Daschle and Gephardt are on his team. If his approval rating were 34 percent they would be screaming impeach him now and impeachment hearings would start tomorrow.

When a solid 60 percent of the people are in favor of something both parties will support it. One will blame the other for not supporting it fast enough.

If most people don't want it done no party will do it and only a handfull of politicians will even talk about it. Some will demogog a few suckers for some bucks to pretend to do somthing. I think that is where you come in.

The problem is not the leaders. It is the followers. You keep hoping for a leader. If you can get the followers leaders will fight to lead where ever the followers want to go.
