We`re Facing A Very Different Sort Of

Bill Clinton Gives The Appearance Of Taking Stands-for Some Sort Of Tax Cut, Some Sort Of Welfare Reform, Some Sort Of Balanced Budget-but These Are Ploys, Mirages: They Exist Only To Undermine Positions Taken By The Republicans. He Doesn't Fight For Anything Substantive-except Of Course, Re-election. ...he Has Fallen Into The Dangerous Habit Of Lip Synching The Presidency: He Gives The Appearance Of Leadership, But Not The Substance.

Political Courage Requires Clarity. The Obama Administration Chose The Tortured Route Of Arguing The Legality Of The Individual Mandate Via The Interstate Commerce Clause For One Simple Reason: It Did Not Want To Take The Political Risk Of Allowing Opponents To Call It A Tax Increase. That Was Stupid. The Republicans Were Calling It A Tax Increase Anyway.

I Can't Believe That Hillary Clinton Wants The World To Think That Whenever She Gets Into Political Trouble, She's Going To Have Her Husband Come Roaring About, Breaking Furniture, Sucking Up Oxygen, Spewing Carbon Dioxide. My Impression Is That She's Strong Enough To Defend Herself - She Certainly Showed That In The Recent Democratic Debate. But Apparently She's Not Strong Enough To Control Mr. Bill. And If That's The Case, Any Sane Voter Would Have To Think Twice Before Enabling This Sort Of Circus Act In The White House.

I Think That If You Make A Strong Statement Of Principle, Even If The Folks Disagree With You, People Will Respect You For It.

Affirmative Action Was Always Racial Justice On The Cheap.
