How much freedom of action would Goldwater (or Gore, for that matter) really have had?  Didn't they both have an intensely hostile Congress to deal with?

Yes. Seedy is right about the tax cuts though. I hadn't thought of that. Gore could have vetoed them.

Gore favored some tax cuts.  Just not as extensive as Bush's.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

For the middle class.  Not for the obscenely wealthy and megacorporations.

Gore would have put my money into a lockbox. :mad:

I'm sure you enjoyed watching it proxied to worthless derivatives packages by your Wall Street masters instead.

I had no idea that was going on. :)

And that's just the way your GOP wants it.  Sucker.

I've never once voted Republican, you know. :rolleyes:

I understood what you were saying, but I guess I'd rather have a prof act like that, as opposed to "YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS HERR DOKTOR PROFESSOR, MAGGOTS!" :sleep:

The teachers in my first uni were very laid back, and almost all were treated by their first names by the students. Some of them, in field trips, would join students when boozing, and in some ocasions drink them under the table.

Then again I studied science, which is a field way looser with formalities than business or law, and most of my teachers there were rather young.

Oh whoops, I forgot I voted for him. :blush:

But I've never voted GOP for President. :cool:

Once I even voted for..... *drum roll* ...Ted Kennedy. :ph34r:

:huh: Really?  For some reason I always thought you were evil.

I usually vote Libertarian and, when I don't do that, Democrat.  I won't vote for candidates that talk about GAWD and JAYSUS nonstop, or bash gays to win political points with slackjaws. :)
