<And it's only been Republican presidents who've pardoned Republicans.> My guess is that Bush will have to pardon Bill which is quite ironic given that he beat his father. A trial of Bill by some self-promoting district attorney would be too divisive for the country. <With the Gore vs. Bush choice? I'd stay on the side more apt to enable every citizen to share in a good economy, rather than switch to Republicans policy which, historically, has always favored the rich. And Bush wants to do it again. Don't let him!> This is the same old class warfare dribble that got us into the divided politics that we have. Everything is "me against you". Sorry, but politics shouldn't always be the zero sum game that Bill and Al have mastered. The problem with your "favor the rich" argument is that it has no traction. Bill Clinton knows that and has acted like a Republican on economic issues. He has because without economic incentives, rich people aren't motivated to create new jobs for those who aren't rich. Think about it. The disparity between rich and poor has grown during his administration, but as you noted, most are better off than 8 years ago. The two are connected. Let me ask you, is there an industry or business that Gore wouldn't attack if he thought it would advance his electibility? That's really the reason that voters are moving to Bush. Gore might make us all poor.
