So what happened to McCain?

[Gene DeMambro]

Yes, we have discussed this before, Bill. We discussed how Bill Clinton's Budget reconciliation Act of 1993 was passed by Congress in 1993, well before the failed Contract with America. We discused how terrorism was never on Pres. Bush's radar screen when he took office. And we discussed how the junk loan market was partially caused by the Bush administration allowing Fannie and Freddie to by sub-prime loans.

Cheers,

Nope... Never discussed any "failed" Contract with America. If it wasn't for Republican's holding spending, the country wouldn't have experienced the fiscal gains seen only well after Congress went Republican. Failure? Perhaps in the eyes of someone who wanted a liberal Congress combined with Clinton's unchecked agendas.

The research is pretty clear on this, Gene. A divided government yields low spending. That's why I vote for gridlock.

"Slivinski’s data show that the growth of government is far more rapid under periods of united control, with one party running the House, Senate, and White House, than when the House is controlled by the party not in the White House."

We discused how terrorism was never on Pres. Bush's radar screen when he took office.

You want to compare Clinton's 8 years of inaction with Bush's first 8 months of office? Well... at least we know the handicap you expect.

And we discussed how the junk loan market was partially caused by the Bush administration allowing Fannie and Freddie to by sub-prime loans.

I'll let that statement speak for itself.

The truth, Bill, always can speak for itself!
