Three words explain the reason Clinton looks good: Contract With America.

Of course, that majority went liberal with Bush, thus the pain.

Patrick,

Clinton gives the country a surplus, but you claim it's due to the Republican Congress.

The Republicans give us tax increases and deficits, but you claim this is because the Republicans are "acting" like Democrats.

There's a trend here.

Some people call it whining, some people call it not taking responsibility.

The facts are that George Bush had a majority in Congress for 6 years of his 8-year term.

During that time, he vetoed not one spending bill. Not one.

Did George Bush and the majority of conservatives in Congress decide in 2001 "Hey, now that we control the government, let's act like Democrats!"

That is the dumbest excuse for the mess we're in I have ever heard, and entirely unworthy of serious debate.

If the conservatives had been a bit more critical and had not bought into Bush worship, maybe they could have avoided the disaster that has been the Bush administration.

85% of the American people say the country is going in the wrong direction.

Maybe they're just acting like Democrats?
