    Rush - Table of Contents -------------------------------------------

    1. Various headlines that make one wonder if Democratic silence.
Clinton came off as a conservative and yet had programs for everything.
If he's going to do what he says, he must have all the gays and lesbians
behind him and yet there wasn't much demonstrating. Was silence bought?
Who knows, but recent headlines make one wonder.

    2.  Everywhere voters had a chance to vote on raising taxes, they
voted it down. Yet Clinton plans to raise taxes. Voter results say "No
more government, no more tax hikes."


    Rush --- Recent Headlines, Was Deomocratic Silence Bought? ---------

    Recent headlines from New York Newspapers....

    "Officials counting the days till they count Clinton aid"

    "GAYS URGING CLINTON TO END MILITARY BAN"

    "Tough job ahead for a man with no majority"

    "City Pols: What's In It for Me?"
          (Politicians.... Should have known, but had to ask Linda.)

    "Bill seizes votes, but not hearts"

    "Will Bill pity the cities? I hope I'm wrong, but..."


    Rush --- More Good News --------------------------------------------

    Bush said we were "poised for recovery" and was "out of touch". Now
that we were faced with no hope, we were told to vote for a "change". We
voted for Clinton and got our change before he even took office.

    Irving R. Levine on the Today Show, 11/5, "(But) what Clinton has
going for him is the fact that the economy is showing signs of upturn in
factory output and construction even before he takes office." Miraculous,
overnight, it's fixed. "Consumers have been battered by months of
campaign oratory, not least of all by Clinton himself, stressing how bad
things are. (MAKS> Yes, and it appears he lied.) The end of the bad news
could lead to more consumer spending which is needed to turn the economy
around."

    Now, the president's out of touch, the president's pathetic, the
president's almost senile when he says this stuff, the same thing is said
about anyone else who says it, but now the media can say it, and Bill
Clinton can say it cause "They've got a mandate". Why they are elected.
They've got the White House now.

    It's almost magic. It's like he doesn't even have to become
president yet. He can just win the election and why, birds chirp, and
people smile, and there's total happiness everywhere. The economy's
coming back.

    Just remember 4 days ago, you had NO FUTURE. 4 days ago you faced
total economic catastrophe, and now... Why, everything's okay! Isn't it
amazing?

    Rush --- More Voter Exit Poll Data, Bills passed/not passed --------

    By 55% to 37% electorate preferred to keep taxes down even if
services suffered.

    California - Voters rejected by 58% to 42% a "Soak the Rich Plan"
against business., The proposal included breaks for the less affluent.
(Exactly what Bill Clinton proposes to do...)
    and - Repealed a "Tax on Snacks", a part of 1991 revenue raising
package.

    Colorado - Approved by 54% to 46% a proposal requiring all voter
approval of all state and local tax increases.
    and - Sales tax to fund schools lost 55% to 45%. (We must rebuild our
schools, said Bill Clinton.)

    Arizona - State Legislature must have 2/3 majority in order to impose
any tax increase.

    Florida - 53% vote to limit property taxes. (A legal battle prevented
those opposed to the limit to campaign until only 2 weeks before the
vote.)

    South Dakota - By a 3 to 1 margin defeated creation of a new state
income tax.

    Get the idea? There is not a whole lot of sentiment to raise taxes,
but Clinton and party think that's what you want.

    New Hampshire - Defeated democratic gubernatorial candidate who
advocated an income tax.

    New York & California - Major public works bond issues lost.

    Illinois - Proposal to designate education as a "basic right" IE:
Expenditure entitlement decisively defeated. (The "Basic Right" would
mean the government could tax what ever they wanted because they "had to"
provide education.)

    Missouri, North Dakota, Oregon & Oklahoma - Defeated tax-increasing
items.

    Connecticut & Rhode Island - Spending control measures won.

    Virtually everywhere that the voters had a choice in raising taxes
they didn't. Make sure someone tells Governor Clinton.

Maks.
