Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 08:48 AM by KoKo01
It seemed that Clintons could have fought back harder against the Right Wing throughout his Presidency. He gave the Repugs NAFTA and Welfare Reform and he gave away the Media to them in '96. For that we did get "Family Leave," "and Cobra" which helped many of us who were downsized keep and transfer our insurance. He was very good internationally although he's criticized by many on the Left for Kosovo bombing.
Whatever their problem was I'd like to know myself. It worries me that Hillary has aligned herself with Lieberman and the NeoCons in her support for Iraq Invasion and other policies. And, Clinton appearing with Poppy was also very depressing for those of us who hung in there through all the bashing Clinton took.
It's a puzzle. But, they aren't the only Democrats who could have done more and I wonder about those who left us here hanging through three stolen elections and subjected to a Media that does nothing but through crap in our Democratic faces trying to make us ashamed of our party.
I think the Dem grassroots is better just moving on from them and finding new candidates who are responsible to us and not to "Think Tanks" and compromise with the DLC.
