46. then take a DU break ...
Frankly after the Reagasm of last week, I'm reveling in the all Clinton, all the time shift. Makes a lot of people remember how much better things were, forces them to see the striking contrast between the life under Clinton and BushCo world.

No one is sacrificing any hard word by talking about Clinton or giving him his due. And as for losing the House and Senate, review history. That was because OUR side did not get out and vote in 1994. The angry white male spurred by Rush and his clones (with no countervailing liberal media thanks to Reagan whose FCC chair gutted the Fairness Doctrine ... David Brock's book is a must read on this), voted in droves. But turnout that year was less than 39%!

As a result of our complacency because of our 1992 White House and Congressional victories, WE lost and have been on the defensive ever since. Thank goodness we had Bill to stave off the hordes at the gate until 2001.
