>>>>>>David Witwer: 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.<<< Except for a few hardliners, the American people already have. Regarding the district attorney, you think they've all got an inventory of Paula Jones'? >>>>>>PartyTime: 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 Republican policy which, historically, has always favored the rich. And Bush wants to do it again. Don't let him!<<< David Witwer: 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.<<<<<< Hey, this isn't that hard. Democrats are more for ordinary Americans; Republicans are more for powerful big-money interests. >>>>>>David Witwer: 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.<<< Gee, from watching Reagan and Bush, I didn't know paying off the debt was a Republican thing to do. How did Clinton and Gore ever manage to do that? >>>>>>David Witwer: 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.<<< The difference is Gore will attack those industry sectors which donate to his campaign. Bush won't. Has he ever? And I'm sorry to disillusion you, but voters are not moving to Bush. And I submit you will make yourself poor more than will Gore. Besides, Bush might put you in jail!
