Re: "All his secret weapons spent." Very revealing of your view of what democracy is all about. That attitude, shared by Clinton/Gore and their liberal Democrat friends, sums up their lack of character, integrity, and truthfulness; things that a Bush presidency will help restore to government. When it comes to politics, Clinton/Gore and their supporters find their real expertise is in such things as, "secret weapons," and "scare tactics." For the past eight years, Clinton/Gore have characterized American politics as partisan, guerilla, winner-take-all warfare, freely employing sneak attacks, dirty tricks, and "wag the dog diversions," for partisan political advantage. The American public is beginning to recognize it and is becoming tired of it. Clinton/Gore's repeated contemptuous behavior towards our revered political institutions and traditions has begun to awaken America's sense of right and wrong. I think the cynical, sarcastic, contemptuous, and hateful Congressional Democrat leadership will be next to fall. The Democrat leadership on the Hill -- e.g. Daschle, Gephardt, Bonior, etc. talk a good game, but lack real compassion, humanism, and especially "statesmanship," a term once used in connection with political leaders, but hasn't been used much lately. They're like rabid dogs, taking every opportunity to snarl, snap, and bite. That causes gridlock, not progress. It strikes me from the current budget battle that the Clinton/Gore Democrats don't want solutions, or even partial compromises that can be fine-tuned with time and experience. All they want is CAMPAIGN ISSUES. Well, they've settled some issues in my mind. For the first time ever, I will vote a straight Republican party-line ticket, and I feel really good about it.
