This guy has a bad memory. I was watching C-Span everyday in wonder at how fast the House brought each item to the floor for a vote in the first 100 days. And it was a lot more than two or three passing. I remember at least seven passing the house. The one most disappointing was the term limits item not passing. However, they did pass term limits for committee chairmanships. The Senate is where most of the stuff died, remember? Almost all legislation dies in the Senate because they are all "little presidents."

Kind of interesting how Mellinger says all the other things are what caused the House turnover from Dem to Republican. I am sure that had something to do with it, but he didn't mention the anti-gun issue. That was much bigger among folks that didn't protest or complain about Clinton.

Mellinger has a pre-occupation with Clinton and still wanting him impeached and removed from office. I hated Clinton and still do, but you have to get over it.

There is no politician, including Ronald Reagan, I agree with 100 percent of the time. Not even close. I would love to hear how time has deluded Mellinger's memories of what Reagan did? Reagan was my favorite president of my lifetime, but he gave in over and over again with Congress, especially in his second term. Sure he made great speeches at the Berlin Wall.

He had things most people agreed about to fight like communism. Funny how communism still exists in the most populated country on the planet and shows no signs of slowing down. They have more missiles than ever. A big blue water navy is emerging. That wasn't much of a victory. And they are working with Iran and North Korea against us. I think we can rest assured the Russians were never going to use Nukes, but the Chinese believe a war like that is winnable.

p>And of course as a conservative I loved his small government agenda. I am sure with a Republican Congress he would have vetoed some of he spending bills. But, I digress. I do know Gingrich is a whole lot more intelligent than Mr. Mellinger because of this statement: "I would vote for anybody but Lyin' John Kerry before I'd vote for Newt." So, Hillary anyone??? br> -- Kendall Eskew /p> p> MAHONY'S PRIORITIES br> Re: Ben Stein's On This Good Friday :
