Dean is a Republican now? Dude, you're losing the thread a little bit. But enough about Dean. Clark can't beat Bush!!?? I submit to you he is the only one who can beat Bush if Dean self-destructs, which looks entirely possible. Who was the last senator to get elected to the White House? Quick. |

Interestingly, I read an article awhile back perhaps in The Economist that suggested the tools govt's use are helpful only to a limited extent and the economy traditionally just goes in cycles. So who knows. Finally, I think the last boom economy fell so hard because it was built on stock prices which in no way even closely resembled the value of the company as traditionally calculated (future earning in present day value divided by number of shares). The nasty deeds of Enron, MCI, and others, which cost the taxpayers about a trillion dollars overall and brought many related and unrealted companies and people to financial ruin, certainly did not help once the recession was started.

Nixon wasn't a senator when he ran, though. I was thinking of JFK. And true, Eisenhower was the last general elected president--on the heels of WWII. I can totally see a general getting elected on the heels of Sept. 11, especially one who distinguished himself during a military operation that was deemed quite successful at a time when a current military operation is an shambles.
As for who is a Republican or Democrat, I maintain that most times it doesn't matter all that much. Dubya is an aberration, albeit a dangerous one. His father and even Nixon were more liberal than Clinton in some ways. John Kerry voted for the Patriot Act, the War on Iraq, No Child Left Behind. When has he actually voted against Dubya? |

However, unlike Clark, he never bombed a Chinese embassy and he never bombed a civilian convoy and lied about it. When he was caught lying about the convoy bombing, he blamed it on a US pilot, as confirmed by his staff. Then Clinton fired him. And Clark should be the last person complaining about Iraq when he led the invasion of Yugoslavia. Talk about hypocrites.
