As long as we are in the "War on Terror", I would prefer a president who doesn't send his attorney general to fight all our wars for us. ;)EdMcGonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892046331126818396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-1164208874042556552006-11-22T07:21:00.000-08:002006-11-22T07:21:00.000-08:00Sorry to double-post, but I really wanted to add t...Sorry to double-post, but I really wanted to add the following: I do think that we've let the GOP have as many Supreme court nominees as we can afford. If one of the non-religious ones show signs of resigning under a Democrat president, that would take me very far toward voting for Hillary.

A GOP president will continue to give Capitalism a bad name (like a political version of what Keynes did in "saving Capitalism"). Both types will enact bad legislation, but -- in the long run -- it will be easier to unwind a law that was introduced under the color of anti-Capitalism.<BR/><BR/>For instance, if one wants to unwind Bush's Medicare changes, the argument becomes" we tried his free-market approach, so let's try a more socialist approach now". OTOH, if Hillary had introduced exactly the same law, the argument becomes: "let's give the free-market a chance".<BR/><BR/>I agree that an all-Democrat government would be a disaster.SNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953992447839442060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129587.post-1164154526689902112006-11-21T16:15:00.000-08:002006-11-21T16:15:00.000-08:00I'm thinking the same thing.

Hopefully the Rebpublicans will be able to take back Congress in '08 or else Hillary plus a Democratic Congress would be an unmitigated disaster.<BR/><BR/>Its a really wierd time in history. There is so much wealth and relative freedom but yet disaster looms essentially everywhere. <BR/><BR/>DougGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
