Not Buying

Buchanan and Bush. California wobblies. A Grover classic. Republican outage. Plus more.

(Page 3 of 8)

br> Modesto, CA /p>

After watching Gray Davis, being cheered mightily by the bussed in union workers, on television during the 5PM news, I can tell he took Bill Clinton's advice.

Rather than step in front of the camera and address California's voters, who have overwhelmingly decided he must go, and make his case for why he should stay and just what he will do to fix the problems of his prior four years of spend like there was no tomorrow, he chose the Clinton route. "Blame everyone else, but whatever you do, don't take responsibility. Oh yes, and don't forget to throw in that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy phrase and throw in that line that the Republicans have been after me and they can't win elections fair and square." It wasn't the poorly prepared Gray Davis speaking haltingly about something he didn't believe in, it was rather Bill Clinton trying to relive his eight years in Washington!

p>The Democrats want the voters to listen to them explain how they will fix the problem they created by being wasteful. Yes, they'll increase taxes and make the rich pay their fair share, and hope that what drove business out in the first place will somehow miraculously be the reason they now return to California! Yes, if high taxes wasn't the solution, perhaps HIGHER taxes will be! br> -- Harry Pike /p> p> CANCER WARNING br> Re: Bernard Chapin's Grover Norquist: The Interview : /p>

Grover Norquist wrote a chilling column for the November '92 issue of The American Spectator entitled "The Coming Clinton Dynasty." "Conservatives who think the Clinton Administration will be a short interregnum are making a disastrous mistake. For since Watergate, Democrats have learned to deal behind the scenes to ensure their re-election ... with or without popular support."
