A Question for hardcore Democrats?

[Mizzou]

When you guys talk about the Clinton years and the strong economy, it seems like you think Bill Clinton was the sole reason for this. My questions is, what do you think the Republican controlled senate and house had to do with this? What did Alan Greenspan(appointed by Reagan) have to do with this? Are there other variables that you can present which may be causes to the strong economy of the nineties? Or is it that the average person(republican/democrat) doesn't have the intellectual ability to explore ambiguity and therefore must classify every thing in black/white terms? "Republicans fault for bad economy" "No it all Barney Frank's fault." "Me Tarzan you Jane"

The main thing that I'm worried about with a Obama presidency is that there will be absolutely no balance at all, possibly to the point where there will be no ability to filibuster. That is scary.

the economy would have been **** at that time if there was no balance.. just like when Bush took office and reps. where aloud to do as they please.. look where we are at now.
can't say the dems will be the same though.. dems have a history of fixing **** when reps. **** it up.

Look at the 1970's to see what happens when the Dems run the country. It sucks, but then we got a strong reaction for real conservatism and Reagan was elected(although he mostly paid lip service to conservatism). Good(or at least semi-principled) times come out of the bad.
