Awwwright, now I'm mad, Larry... First, I voted for the Libertarian
candidate for President, not either of the two big spenders...

Next, GWB is not my guy... I had problems with the Iraq deal from minute
1... I have problems with large parts of the current RNC agenda - but
that's another tirade...The entire country of Iraq is not worth the life of
even one of our kids in uniform...
My sense is that the big players in the three branches of government, and
the industrial military complex, saw an impending oil crises down the road
if we did not do something to change the power structure in arabia
(specifically Saudi Arabia)... The Clinton administration understood this
but the big guy chose not to rock the boat whilst he was busily avoiding
being impeached...I don't have a problem with protecting the future of this
country and not so incidentally, the industrialized western nations - I do
have a problem with the country and the method this administration under
took to force those changes... wrong country, wrong bunch of thieves and
murderers

Next, Clinton did not hand anyone a zero deficit... Those numbers were
political cookery right from the start... The country was in deficit every
minute of the way, before, during, and after, the Clinton administration...
And only because of the upturn in the world economy for nearly a decade did
the amount of money the government was extorting from businesses and stock
holders statistically put us in a predicted surplus *** if the rate of
increase in government revenues continued for the forseeable future*** -
jeez, how gullible do you have to be?

And, the Clinton administration was not all bad - our zipper boy is a
centrist and understands that the business community could not be crucified
to support the party line, and still provide jobs and bennies for all those
gullible, democratic voters... I agree with significant parts of the
business oriented bills he signed into law...

Read, think, don't parrot
cheers .... denny
