Well, with the Republicans, it is not just "We are GOOD and you are BAD", it is more like -- "We are PERFECT, and you... you people ought to be ASHAMED!!!!" <G> With Quayle it was single moms, there are literally millions of those come on, and with Buchanan its the gays ... Of course, the "great" Buchanan has done his bit to alienate the women too, by referring to an international conference of women as "a gathering of different creatures, like in a bar scene from 'Star Wars'"...

<<The Clintons dont go around saying, "You are BAD and we are GOOD" to entire groups of people >> They say that every day. Well maybe I'm not an entire group of people, but they are in my face every day, and there are many more like me. Most ethical, I'd have been shot over the Monica deal. Bill Gates is being hung out to dry while Slick takes overseas bribes. It's like the little crab who was told by his mother to walk straight, he said momma you walk side ways. Momma said do as I say and not as I do. Dan Quale had a good idea, the ideal is not to have single mothers as Murphy Brown portrayed. But Candice Bergen appealed to more people as a star.

You're very incorrect on that point. The Clinton went around demonizing people in their Health Care dog-and-pony show. Hillary blasted 25 year-olds for dropping health insurance. The same 25 year-olds for whom insurance rates doubled and tripled when the Democrats implemented community rating --- i.e., jack up all other rates while lowering elderly rates in spite of different risk rates due to artificial caps on spreads between insurance rates. Clinton was also blasting small businesses saying they could raise their prices to pay for their Nationalized Health Care. As we've seen in the last 10 years, businesses have had a difficult time passing on any price increases to the consumer. He's pretty much blasted everyone in the medical industry also ... HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, etc., while at the mean time shifting cost burdens from the Medicare/Medicaid onto everyone else to cover up for fraud and waste.

It seems like Libs hate the word "don't" and will almost always go against the issue it is attached to. On the other hand they love alternatives, sometimes any alternative to a right wing standard some times alternatives to there own standards. It was interesting to see the reaction to Mrs. Dole over the last week. Some of the same people who've been pooh poohing the ethics and integrity rap on Clinton seemed ready to raise the ethics and integrity flag for Dole. Do you think the digging in for Clinton supporters has any thing to do with a lack of forseeable alternatives to carry the liberal agenda? Is Dole it?
