Tex mentioned how he had his portfolio "double under Clinton".....this is a common misconception......but it was actually the previous Republican admins that he prospered from.... You don't stop or even slow down a juggernaut like the US over the term of one admin of 4 years and sometimes not even over 2 depending on how much needs to be changed, that's old world thinking like about late 1800's. Since then there has been a wider and wider gap between what can be accomplished in 4 years much of the first term is used just playing politics and trying to get policies passed. In the case of Regan he not only had to slow it down but he had to stop it and begin momentum in the other direction and there was lot of directional changes that needed to be made.. what the end result was, was a rare opportunity for us to experience what can happen when one president puts good policies into motion and they begin to take effect towards the end of his second term and the next pres. Bush senior, mostly continued implementing those policies during his term. unfortunately human nature is to want the greener grass on the other side and it's short sighted so he was voted out of office which began the process all over again but in reverse and what we are now experiencing is the momentum of Clinton's admin. not the second Bush.. Like it or not, agree or not, a boat this big doesn't change ANY direction as quickly as people think it should and anyone who thinks it does is both short sighted and naive.. It's just like being stuck in traffic on the highway, there is an accordion effect, and it's extreme.. Last edited by DrivingForce : 29-08-2008 at 03:18 PM. | |

yet again you show your ignorance of american politics. if any party has a reputation of having party leaders choose the nominee, it's the republicans. it's almost a joke that many republican nominees got the nod because it was 'their turn'. here's an interview with none other than william f. buckley who touches on the subject...

I agree with Bugs if the facts are credible and verifiable the source is irrelevant........... | |

| so, the 72 year old cancer patient is going to have a first term governor ( not even two years in office), of the least populated state be his VP? sounds like a great pick to me! and i wonder what will the boys on here have to say about her being 'an empty suit' who is 'not ready to lead'. |
