[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3354846, member: 24302"] Bill Clinton in his first two years was trying things, including Hillarycare, that would've greatly increased spending. Resulted in the Dems losing both the House and Senate for the first time in 40 years. To his credit Clinton realized he had to govern from the center to get re-elected. Who put that idea forth? Dick Morris, the Republican strategist Clinton brought in to advise his '96 campaign. They co-opted Republican issues to win. Gingrich in '94 put out his "Contract With America" that outlined what the Republicans would do to balance the budget. The rest is history. Of course partisan hacks want to discredit the Repubs on everything but y'all are just patently dishonest. At this point I'm hoping the economy grows to the point that Dems are stopped in the mid-terms. Because if they aren't Heaven help us. [/QUOTE]
