Many of the problems with the financial, insurance, banking and energy regulations- the precursors- occurred during the Clinton administration (although to his credit, Bill Clinton vetoed legislation re: accounting "reform" that led to Arthur Anderson et al. in the mid 1990's, only to be overridden by Democrats & Republicans in Congress).

But hey- don't take my word for that either. Look it up for yourself. It's a matter of record that might even be found on Google.

That said, my bet would be that most anyone on this board knows that we have some things in common.

Seems to me that most folks here don't, when it comes right down to it- share the same or similar sets of attitudes beliefs and values as most of those who identify with 21st Century Republicans.

N'est pas?

The only difference on this part of DU being that some few are still willing- as we always have been, to express opinions- or knock opinions. That's what discussion forums are all about, IMO.

If you want more cohesion in a comfortable setting, DU has given folks such a place. It's a group where people won't be bothered with so much dissension if they don't like or want it- and it's been well respected by all of the memebers of the board.
