Dale, if Hillary Clinton had never uttered those words, the right-wing machine.....527s, talk radio, Fox News, print media, gerrymandering, etc. etc.....would STILL have achieved their objectives. Her statement was an OBSERVATION of forces at work that began forming during the Reagan years, and it was a WARNING. The well was already poisoned. Hillary just pointed out what was obvious to anyone who followed the rise of the modern Republican Party and the demise of the GOP. The failures of the Bush administration were a logical end to things, and the Clintons were just an annoying speedbump in that process. This movement and its powerfully effective attack machine was an assault on the Democratic party itself. ANY democrat elected President in 1992 would have faced the same underhanded attacks and might not have governed with the degree of fiscal responsibility that Bill Clinton did. Do you think that Hillary's statement brought on the attacks and the polarization between the parties? Is there some kind of causality behind your statement? Also would you not like a return to the structure of the economy we had during the Clinton administration?
