We all knew it 10 years ago, and because of it, the vast right wing conspiracy was born. The dems deserve whatever they get. Our country has suffered and it'll take time to get it back to where it belongs, but the clintons have proved us all correct. Too bad it cost the country so much. What goes around, comes around.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Maybe he should talk with Bob Dole about that.
(a) The Rats have learned to run on "tactics and mechanics" rather than principles and beliefs. Why? Because their principles have moved further and further into the sewer of gay rights, anti-Americanism, socialism, racebaiting, and general immorality. In truth, the Rats can count only on electioneering mechanics (get out the vote, absentee ballots, court battles) to get their way. They no longer inspire the American people. How could they?
(b) Maryland elected Michael S. Steele - a black Republican - as lieutenant governor. This will hopefully get Maryland blacks to begin rethinking their lockstep association with the Rat party. Acquaintances who've met Steele say that he's a good man and right for the role of Lt. Gov. Surely the black community must be realizing that Republicans don't choose "token blacks" for leadership roles, and that there is room for all people in the Republican party.
(c) I don't agree with the article premise that the Clintons have been upbraided by this election. McAuliffe, Daschle, and Gephardt are soon to be gone, and the Clintons will be moving in with their selected lackeys to take complete control of the Rat party (McAuliffe will discarded, just like Reno and Cuomo). Just look at DU, everyone there is blaming the Rat "establishment" but it is not the Clintons they are blaming (in fact many calls for Hitlery to take a leadership role).
There's no 'Clinton Curse' on the Democrats, they embraced him. They gave up what integrity they had to save him. They gave up whatever core beliefs they had to keep him in office. And this was all after Clinton had lost Congress to the pubbies in '94. which happend, because Clinton caused the 'RAT vote to decline and stimulated his opposition to come out.
Labor in '96 and '98 knew that Clinton stabbed them in the back with NAFTA, but they still backed him with a $100 and massive campaign help. Clinton paid off by not enforcing Beck, then again, neither Bush has enforced Beck.
The feminists all donned knee-pads to service Slick. The gave up everything they believed in, they gave up sexual harassment completely. In fact, the promulgated the new 'one free grope' doctrine and attacked the rape victim to protect the rapist. They did this all for the non-existent threat to abortion.
Lani Guinier was the first black stabbed in the back by President Clinton, but wasn't the last. Jocelyn Elders was tossed overboard and Ron Brown is resting in peace. In return, they got Clinton to play the sax on Arsenio. Talk about selling yourself for a mess of pottage.
The point is, they all knew what was happening. They walked into it with eyes wide open. They sold themselves just to keep Bill Clinton personally in office. Personal power for Bill Clinton was Clinton's only goal. Can you betray people, who know what is happening and go along with it?
This election was a result of reality finally catching up to clintonism. Clinton the juggler could keep all the balls up in the air, but only if he is doing the juggling. He turned the juggling over to McAuliffe, who used to be the sad clown and couldn't make the transition to jovial juggler. He became just a mean oaf.
I just wish we could vote on the media. They're totally complicit in keeping the juggling psychopath in power and extended that trick another two years with the 2000 elections.
These next two years are going to be very interesting politically. Will the saner parts of the 'RAT party see that the Republicans aren't the threat that they've be told? Will they wake up and increase the GOP majorities in two years? Will the media ever wake up?
If the Democrats removed their masques they'd be laughed off the political stage into nowheresville, and they know it. For them every day is Hallowe'en, tricks or treats and all, especially masques.
To Democrats/"Liberals" truth and authenticity are whatever you can fool people into thinking. Therefore, as far as they are concerned, in the ways of their distorted morality, they are truthful and authentic.
"I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
These days, it's the Democrats who scare me stiff. I fear that, given the chance, the party would pull this country backward, to places I don't care to revisit.
Personally, I like tax cuts. And the death penalty. Welfare reform has, in my view, been a resounding success, helping infantilized adults grow up and, likely, helping to reduce crime and child abuse.
Meanwhile, nothing the Dems have shown me proves they have a single, sound idea for improving education. Bring on the vouchers!
