SkunkApe,
And the Dems have a better track record?? Please don't hold the Clinton admin up for any kudo's. Clinton's economy was put in place and was a gift of 8 years of Reagan tax cuts. Clinton reversed it with his tax policy aided and abetted by the criminal behavior of the captains of industry who saw there was no government oversight of their malfeasance by the Clinton Admin. Too busy not inhaling, I suspect. What we got out of that was increased taxes, more waste, bankrupty, and major loss of faith in our institutions; governmental and industry. Nero may have fiddled while Rome burned. Bill was getting a BJ while America collapsed.
In economics, governmental tinkering, good or bad, takes about 7 years for the effects to show up.
The Clinton admin. obvious lack of geo political accumen (treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem rather than a national security problem) is now painfully obvious iregardless of the false pretenses war myth. It's odd that keeps being brought up when the entire world's intelligence community had reason to believe the notions that were put forth. As far as the UN is concerned in the matter, that's not even worthy of discussion given their track record and obesiance to drivel, gluttony, drink and robbery; not to mention rape and murder. Bad intelligence is not false pretenses. By the way, it was the Clinton administration who virtually dismantled our intelligence community. The order of the day: No spy can be an unsavory person. That equals no spies, which equals no intelligence.
I am not defending the Repubs. Bush's admin has caused me much concern regarding freedom of speech, illegal immigration, sticking it's nose into education (which should be a local issue) among other things. I am certainly distressed that mainly conservative Americans put the control of the White House and the Legislature in the hands of the Republicans and they immedietely start walking around like a busload of blind people in a corn maze. How they continually apologize and bow and scrape to the Left is disgusting.
I think that's why I'd like to see Newt make a run for it. He's an historian. He understands cause and effect. He is a communicator and he does not suffer fools.
If you're wondering who the fools are, you should have watched Judge Roberts dissemble them the last couple days. That was rich.
