Nor just with the middle. ...Nor just with a right. Nor just with the middle. We need it all. I am not against the Right, or Conservatives, but rather what they completely morphed into in the 21st Century--which is to say they feel it is okay to deceive the American public to acheive the goals that they may honestly feel are right. It started with reagan, whose policies damaged the poor and lower middle class, and which impacted my family at the time directly. The 80's were a great time, unless you were not upwardly mobile, or worse, sick and ending up on disability as one of my close family members did. I miss the Conservatives of Nixon's ilk, no, not the paranoid above the law qualities, but the way they fought for all Americans, tried to stabalize inflation and interest rates, Nixon was the last President before Clinton to push for Healthcare Reform, worked as part of a world community, contrast Nixon and China with George W. and---anybody. I honestly think George H.W. (senior) was more for all thre American people then his son could ever be. He was a better human being, but like Carter, did not know how to balance it all in the context of the machinations of government. Nixon did. Clinton did. I won't go into the splendid job Clinton did to start the war against terror, as it is easy to investigate yourself, as Al Franken did. But if you look up things about Richard Clarke, including why W. and Condi and Powell kept him on, and why he stayed, you will see that the only problem with how Democrats fight terrorism is how the Right lies about it. Did Clinton do a perfect job? Does anyone? But sadly, the last 6 years have been the worst of jobs. I do indeed think both sides of the debate are necessary, or there is no debate. However, much of the American people are won over by lies that sound good, and say what they want to hear. Undoubtedly, the Right is better at capitalizing on this, but it is not a heartening trend, if the Democrats must start to lie in order to get their agendas across. I do not advocate lying, but for the edge play Rove and his ilk have foisted on the public, such as the push-polls that did McCain in, in the South, I have no problem with joining in dirt until a better way is adopted, or better yet, demanded by the American Electorate. And by the way, just because O'Reilly got it right for a change, does not negate his history of lies and stupidity. He still does not understand the connections between FOX Television and FOX Cable. He must think they were just named for the same animal.LHwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890891351498768757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30510558.post-1164081692642411022006-11-20T20:01:00.000-08:002006-11-20T20:01:00.000-08:00I am heartened to be able to quote you giving a ra...I am heartened to be able to quote you giving a rather generous compliment to Mr. O'Reilly:<BR/><BR/>"Bill O'Reilly actually took a reasonable stand in speaking out against...O.J.
