Martin has a great GIF re the Clinton Kiss of Death!

I'm told Rush mentioned it on his show yesterday (among other FR threads).

Color me dumbfounded.

The political parties started to develop while Washington was President (because of the sharp divisions between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson over policies, and because of the split over attitudes towards France).

I will donate money to Bill to cover his expenses to campaign for every dem out there. Where do I send my dollar?

LOL. Damn good idea. But let's keep the world-of-mouth going. At every public opportunity, express your "heartfelt" wish that Billy campaign for Dims. LOL.

ROTFL.....the " Clinton Kiss of Death " gif is priceless.

"Tee hee. I don't kiss and tell."

As much as I detest x-42 I'd like to disagree.

I think the rats have been on the downhill slide since the 70s after a pretty good 40 year run.

Sure, there have been aberrations like Clinton but they were the result of odd events like Perot.

I can't remember how many years the rats controlled congress for, but it was a good run (around 40 years?). My memory is that they controlled the Senate for a good long time with just a few lapses.

I don't know if it's a case of the conservative Democrats dying off and the party getting more communist or the country becoming more conservative (I still thank Goldwater and Reagan every day, I think they were a driving force in waking a lot of American's up) but in either case I think it's a shift that goes far beyond that slimeball that would be a footnote in history books if commies didn't write 'em.

Not that you'd notice (being a 3rd Party partisan and all), but since Bush won we've cut federal income taxes twice (down to $45 per year for a family of 4 earning $40k), killed the estate tax, killed the double-tax on dividends (as of 1/1/04)

With drastic increases in spending which in the long run make it easier for the democrats to argue for higher taxes. Bush's supporters just don't seem to get it. Without a balanced budget, the cause of making a simple and small tax system is going to fail. If Bush really wanted to help the economy he would have vetoed nearly every non-defense spending bill coming his way, pushed to get those 800,000 non-essential jobs privatized and would have taken the money left over and in front of the nation demanded it be used to pay down the national debt. Lower debt, lower interest to pay on the debt which in turn means a permanently lower federal budget. If Bush had put himself in a position to cut the debt from what it is it now? $6.8T? Down to <$2T if he could get a 2nd term with that kind of success he could have made a case for no income tax altogether.

repealed the federal restrictions on arming pilots with handguns

A good small step. Where's the average civilian's right to bring a loaded firearm on board barring an airline-instituted ban?

and we're putting in our first federal pilot program for private school vouchers in Washington, D.C.

The federal government should only be involved in federal education programs like (J)ROTC and the various federal academies. Until the states start adopting vouchers, it won't mean much. The federal voucher program won't buy much at all in the way of education.

Put him out to pasture. Now.

Or, better, send him to the knacker's yard.

Does anyone else remember watching C-Span the day Billy Jeff and Ms. Rotten left the White House in Jan 2000? They flew to the Airport ,where every other former POTUS in the past, would fly to their home state. Instead they flew to the airport and had a hangar full of people,a high school band,military line-up and it went on and on and on and on, (I think he shook hands and yacked to people for almost 3 hours) while it rained (literally) during George W.'s Parade. I remember flipping the channels back and forth because I was is total disbelief that they weren't going away and the Alphabet channels stuck with them for quite a while too. No one could possibly be that crass. That they had effectively fooled enough N.Y.'ers to elect Hellary the Jr. Janitor from N.Y., giving her Power Without Any Merit, surely must be the mistake of the millennium. I wonder what type of conversation Billy Jeff and Hellary had right after Red Davis conceded defeat?Ohhhh, To be a fly on the wall for that one.
