Reply #125: That is the classic Bush pattern. [View All]

You are their best friend up to the day you are their chump.

Just enough Bush soldiers have been pardoned in the past for people to say to themselves, "I will get a walk," only to discover it is the perp walk.

On Clinton--
Clinton is a smart man. He is a good man. But I do not agree completely with his policy. Mostly, I think he should have gone for the kill with Gingrich and Scaife. He was too colligial, and we lost colligiality in government with the Reagan administration.

The third way was co-opting the core issues of the right, while maintaining the core of the left with national healthcare, and gay issues in the military. On the social side, it must be regarded as a failure.

This third was about swing voters. In targeting swing voters, Clinton forced the right further toward fascism to maintain 'branding'. A healthy progressive movement is the only thing that can bring America back at this point. We are at and beyond the excesses of the gilded age.

We need to start over, and re-create America, spelled with a 'C'.

As a further note, consider if we do not reverse this trend right now, we will create a literal world of misery. We will sink the world economy like a stone, and will be punished for it in the future.
