24.) Why do you think that Bill Clinton, who has been a great campaigner, but legislatively one of the most inept Presidents to sit in the White House, and who has been forced to live up to his supposed moderation by the Republican capture of the Congress, is important enough to be the object of a vast right- wing conspiracy? I was at a gathering of conservatives in Washington around the time he became President. The attitude was well summed- up by Bill Kristol, who said that we should mostly wait for him to fail on his own. A couple of years later, he did, and only managed to keep his job by the grace of God and Dick Morris, through the strategy of triangulation. There are, indeed, those who think he is a con artist who would like to expose him, and any President has political opponents who will do things to hurt him, but there is no grand conspiracy, if only because he hasn't mattered that much, nor has the Democratic Party, in recent years. Your continual gloating over the possible change of fortunes between the two parties is the gloat of someone with a deep resentment towards those who have basically run the country for the last 18 years. Perhaps you are right that Republicans are in for a hard time, but about little else.
