Or rather Clinton + a Republican Congress did it.
And they didn't do nearly enough.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood. -
Maybe, but they did about what they could get away with - remember, the US is significantly more conservative in Europe. Socialism doesn't play well in the States.Or rather Clinton + a Republican Congress did it.

Harry Reid is a kick ass choice, the Cataclysm you speak of is much closer then you think, and he'd be an excellent answer to it.Comment

What is socialist about trying to start paying down the debt? What is socialist about trying to balance the budget?Originally posted by David Floyd

It's the perception of the voters before the election that counts, not the results after the election.Originally posted by Oncle Boris
So Firefly, you think that someone can conceivably be worse than Bush in foreign policy?

It's not unsocialist to try and get spending and debts under control. It's a question of goals. Sometimes spedning over the budget might be a good idea, at other times payng it off might be a good idea.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Spending over the budget is so rarely a good idea that it's silly how many times the US does it.

I don't know why you guys want to give up on the south. The last two democratic presidents elected were Jimmy Carter: Georgia and Bill Clinton: Arkansas. I think that says something for the southern strategy. The ones that lost were Walter Mondale: Minnesota, Michael Dukakis: Massachusetts, Al Gore: Tennessee and John Kerry: Massachusetts. Let's not forget Gore won the popular vote. The southern strategy is a sound one. All of the yanks were soundly defeated except for Kerry. The only reason he came close was because of the anybody but Bush crowd."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

good point. Don't forget LBJ was elected, he's from Texas. Though he would have lost his second re-election had he ran. But there were other reasons for that.Comment

Trust me on this one. People expect their candidates to be reasonably fit.

Thanks, I couldn't remember if LBJ ever ran. I only remembered him not running in '68.Originally posted by Dissident

LBJ would have won the general election in 1968- probalby RFK too- Humphrey (no great candidate) lost by a very narrow margin to Nixon, and that was with the South breaking of for Wallace.Originally posted by Dissident

I completely agree. I voted for Bush but I would vote for Hillary too. You guys should put Hillary as your candidate, she would win easy.In fact, I've had people bring her up and say they would vote for her (these were Bush voters saying this.) I am going to go against all of you and say Hillary Clinton does indeed have considerable support.
