A vote for Bush or Gore is a vote to continue Clinton policies!
A vote for Buchanan is a vote to continue America!
Therefore a vote for Gore or Bush is a wasted vote for America!
Don't waste your vote! Vote for Patrick Buchanan!
Dear Brigade,
"As he often has in his turbulent presidency - on issues such as NAFTA
and welfare reform - Clinton built his winning coalition on the backs of the
Republicans who love to loathe him...."
With PNTR Clinton has succeeded in ringing the final GOP death knell.
The presidential race is now between Gore and Buchanan.
I thank God Pat is not a Republican!
GO PAT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The different Democrat does it again,
aided by those who impeached him
by Michael Tackett 5/25/00 - Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON - The lawmakers who helped President Clinton pass the
China trade bill were the same ones who have rhetorically scalded him
on the House floor, investigated him with subpoenas and cast votes to
remove him from office.
His opposition came from House leaders of his own party.
As he often has in his turbulent presidency - on issues such as NAFTA
and welfare reform - Clinton built his winning coalition on the backs of the
Republicans who love to loathe him.
"This is unprecedented," said Marshall Wittman, a congressional analyst
at the Heritage Foundation. "In previous administrations, the examples
are non-existent where a president relied primarily on the other party to
pass a major legislative item."
The president who came to Washington vowing to be a different kind of
Democrat has changed his stripes in ways not even he could have
envisioned.
To be sure, his dexterity was borne of necessity after Democrats lost
their congressional majority in 1994. But with Clinton, results are often
not a matter of ideology or principle.
They are a matter of simply getting to "yes."
He will leave many marks on the American presidency; a clear one will
be an ability to build unusual coalitions to achieve his priorities. If
history
judges him in part for his success in broadening the U.S. role in world
trade, he will have his fiercest opponents to thank.
"Political agility, he's got a lot of that, probably more than any president
since Franklin Roosevelt," said Bert Rockman, a professor of political
science at the University of Pittsburgh and co-author of the recently
published "Clinton Legacy."
A unique ability
Lyndon Johnson, whose skills were honed as Senate majority leader,
was known for his masterly horse-trading. But he dealt mostly with
factions within his own party or disparate regional interests. And his own
party ruled Congress.
Ronald Reagan and many other presidents have had to reach across the
aisle on specific issues. George Bush relied on Democrats to pass his ill-
fated budget plan that included tax increases, which permanently
wounded him in his own party.
But Clinton has somehow been able to give his own party a black eye
one day, only to extend his hand in friendship the next.
Most of the same members of organized labor who led the public fight
against the China trade deal, and House Democratic leader Dick
Gep.hardt, who led the battle from within, will remain Clinton's friends in
the fall campaign.
Clinton, in fact, will work to ensure organized labor turns out in huge
numbers to try to return Democrats to the majority in the House, and to
install Gephardt as speaker and Vice President Al Gore as president.
"The larger part of his agenda is consistent with groups that oppose him
on this issue," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. "He has been good to the
labor movement and working families, though they may disagree with
him on this."
"It also reflects what Clinton has meant to the Democratic Party," Durbin
said. "Eight years ago, (the party) was branded as fiscally irresponsible,
weak on crime and insensitive to welfare reform. He has redefined the
Democratic Party. It is more mainstream and has shaken off a lot of the
old cliches that used to haunt us. So from time to time, his conservative
agenda splits with the traditional power sources of the Democratic
Party."
1994 a turning point
When he campaigned in 1992, Clinton sent a few distinct signals that he
would not be cowed by his party's left wing, and he essentially has
maintained that posture in office. But the disaster of his proposed health-
care plan and the historic 1994 GOP congressional victories forced him
into a corner most presidents haven't seen.
Over time, his policies have effectively neutralized traditional Republican
advantages on issues such as crime, taxes and fiscal responsibility. On
trade, however, he has always sided more with the GOP.
"I know as a fact that he changed his broad governing style after the
1994 elections, where he said that he felt the first couple of years he was
acting as a prime minister and not a president," said one recently
departed senior administration official. "He needed to strike a balance
between getting votes but not getting so much into the thicket that he
also lost his ability to lead.
"This is a president who clearly is a better president now than he was
two or three years ago. He learned about the most effective way of
leading the country and governing the Hill regardless of who is in power."
In his final year in office, he is said to be most interested in a legacy
that
begins with anything but the word impeachment. To that end, he will take
his victories where he can and, given that Republicans don't speak his
language on most domestic policy, Clinton's safe haven has been
international affairs - the one area where he was thought to be most
lacking when he took office.
A warm embrace
And as if to underscore how quickly Clinton will return to his party's
warm embrace, the Democratic National Committee held a gala in
downtown Washington last night.
And when the issues turn to health care, education or guns, expect the
GOP to return to bashing him.
"For Clinton, this is not personal, this is politics, and if he can score a
victory with anyone's help, he will do it," said Wittman. "And forget about
it the next day."

Today, candor compels us to admit that our vaunted two-party system is a
snare and a delusion, a fraud upon the nation. Our two parties have become
nothing but two wings of the same bird of prey...
