According to CNN, the citizens of arkansas have the SECOND LOWEST per
capita tax rate in the nation. Boy, that sure makes bill look like a
tax the hell out of them kind of guy. I wish ronnie would have told us
during his speech why the japanese paid him 2 million for a speaking
engagement. Could it have anything to do with trade policies while in
office?

I dunno if it is.  The word *I* used was "smarmy", which my dictionary defines
as "marked by or displaying an affected, exaggerated, or insincere earnest-
ness; unctuous; smug and self-righteous.  It also says the origin of the word
is unknown, but I've always associated it with the word "schoolmarm", since
that word connotates a pendantic, old-fashioned and priggish disciplinary
nature.

You are correct that "swarmy" doesn't appear in the dictionary.  Not mine,
at any rate.  Flip over the "w" and you'll find it.

I think what really galls me is Marilyn Quayle putting down mothers that
HAVE to work, while she married into a enormously rich publishing family
which ALLOWED her to stay at home.  I think most mothers (and FATHERS)

This is the key (I believe).  Someone has devoted a great number of
electrons of late harping on Republicans voting for a pay increase but
didn't mention the other half of the equation.  Had they voted a pay
increase and allowed honoraria to continue, that'd be a different story.

there was something odd about paying attention to a convention speaker,
since the Democrats didn't bother to do so.

Hmmm.

For what it's worth, *I* thought people were paying attention.  I also
think they have been relatively polite throughout, much to the chagrin
of the reporters on the floor and elsewhere.  (Although I did rather
enjoy the gagged Brown delegates parading around during the DNC.  Nice

None of these are increasing at nearly as dramatic a rate as the onset
of AIDS, though I feel that these issues need consideration as well.
I think that driving tests should be stricter and it should be easier
to revoke one's license for negligent driving practices, for example,
which I would hope would reduse the number of automobile accident
deaths.  Furthermore, I think there is a great deal more education
that could be done to reduce the occurrence of cancer and heart
disease.

However, I think that a lot more drugs have been tested for cancer and
heart disease than have been for AIDS and I think that there is some
deliberate stalling when in comes to AIDS research.

The Republicans I listened to last night (like Vin Weber, Chaffee, the Newt

fault" line.  I hope he listens -- he's starting to sound an awful lot like
my 9-year-old :)  I would think the Democrats might want to point out that
Bush is perfectly willing to take credit for things like the Clean Air Act,
but accepts no responsibility for his proposals that fail in Congress.
Weber suggested that Bush could argue that his focus on foreign affairs was
not only legitimate, but the wisest course possible given the events in the
XSU, the Persian Gulf, etc.  I dunno.  My own Senator, Jay Rockefeller,
said during the Demo convention that he's *never* been lobbied by Bush the
way he was by Regan.

Did any of y'all catch Riley's address?  I only saw parts of it, but the
parts I saw made me want to cry.  Except the part when the channel I was
watching (CNN, probably) ran a shot, while Riley was talking about Bush's
wonderful environmental record, of some guy wearing a Stetson whose hatband
consisted of a stuffed rattlesnake head with jaws agape and fangs extended.
Maybe I can work that into some kinda metaphor, huh?

>promised not to.

As has been pointed out, the "rich" don't have enough money for Clinton's
purposes unless he includes a lot of people who don't think they're rich.

But, let's look at how Bush can hang the 1990 tax increase and the
resulting economic problems around Clinton's neck.  All he has to do
is say basically what he said at the time, with a little "spin".

"Yes, I signed the 1990 tax increase that has caused our economic
problems.  I signed it because I believed the Congressional Democrats
would honor their promise to reduce spending so that we'd have a
balanced budget by now.  I knew that it would cause some problems, but
if the spending cuts had happened, that would have been an acceptable
price, because those cuts would have helped significantly.  Instead,
spending increased, and the Clinton plan is more of the same.

In going back on my "no new taxes" promise, in signing that tax
increase, I gave the Democrats a chance to prove that their policies
would work.  We know that Clinton would have signed it too, and
without asking for the spending cuts.  Since they didn't happen, the
last two years have been a nice preview of the effect of a Clinton
presidency.  If you want more of that, vote for him.

I'm not going to apologize for signing that tax increase.  I kept my
part of the deal.  Since the Congress didn't, the result is that we've
tried the Clinton plan.  It didn't work, and it's time to change, and
the only way to get that change is to reelect me, because Clinton will
continue down that path and I won't.  We can't afford four more years
of the Democrat policies that have hurt us so much in the past two
years.

Yes, I went back on my no new taxes promise, and I got snookered
because I believed Democrats.  America can't afford to make that
mistake on November 3.

I did learn something from this experience.  Always make Democrats pay
up front.  I won't compromise my credibility again to give them the
benefit of the doubt."

All of you loyal republicans waiting for the bush push following the

on for quite some time talking about how we need to get america working
again! Gee, that was 12 years ago and he is still giving the same speech.

What worked in the past will not work this time. Georgie can't attack
Clinton's record because he will then have to defend his own record. The
demos are going to sweep the female pro-choice vote. Look for something
really stupid to happen in the middle east this week as a media event.

The republicans have been using their mastercard for 12 years and the

handlers, even if they do happen to run a magazine.  I think that we
should listen to advocates.  If you're going to claim that I'm wrong,
that we shouldn't listen to advocates, then you don't have many
sources in this campaign.

Yet, when TNR analyses US tax policy, they use different criteria.
"The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" sure seems to
be an evasive target.

I do wonder why the veneer of objectivity is so important, yet
the reality doesn't matter at all.

Politicos,
   I may, or may not, agree with the 700 Club and its mission or its stand
on certain issues.  Yet, they reported about freedoms protected by the
Constitution and are threatened.  Also, judges are taking actions that could
be considered illegal and judges have been known to take actions that are
not permitted by their public office.  Despite the fight over abortion rights
what is even more important is the loss of rights that have always been
clearly defined and legally exercised since the birth of this nation, namely
religious liberties.
