-Caveat Lector-
3/3/01
I'm sure Bill, that you are aware that there are no differences between
the Republicans and the DemocRATS. Why are you spinning your wheels?
The Bush administration is the other side of the same coin.
My suggestion to you is the same as what I suggested to DemocRATS. Dump
the Republicans and start a genuine conservative party. Otherwise, nothing
will change.

This is pure nonsense. Clinton did nothing to destroy the conservative
movement. The Republicans sold out the conservative movement in exactly the
same way that the Democrats sold out the real progressives.

Just as the old Soviets had, we have a one party system. The Big Business
Party. It has two sub- parties. The Republicans and the DemocRATS.
Except for some hot button social issues, this country's policies and
goals are consistent. Make the rich richer still by serving their
corporations. This requires a LARGE GOVERNMENT!!!! Get it? It takes a
LARGE GOVERNMENT to give large corporations LARGE CONTRACTS. It takes a
LARGE GOVERNMENT to field a LARGE MILITARY around the world to protect
LARGE CORPORATIONS' interests around the world.

Quoting Reagan just shows how naive this writer and most conservatives are.
Reagan had the ultimate corporate administration.
