In late 1991, Bush was so high in the polls, he was considered unbeatable. The most likely challengers sat out the race.
You might say that Greenspan's tightened fist totally made Clinton, from nomination to presidential election.
If there weren't other things in meltdown at the time, I think it was analogous to what happened to Carter against Reagan. When Volcker "blew the living shit out of inflation" with 21 percent interest rates and a strangulation of the money supply. I think Carter lost maybe seven whole states in the Electoral College due to it.
It made Reagan years seem prosperous by comparison.
Will jobs be up or down in September? I guess it doesn't really matter, the dow was up over 14,000. We're all safe now!
Jobs are up! I did it. My post somehow caused the job market to go up immediately!
Just say No! or Yes! or Sieg Heil! Whatever they tell you to say!
AND DON'T BE ASKING ANY FUCKIN QUESTIONS!!
ESPECIALLY YOU JACK0!! WE GOT YOUR FUCKIN NUMBER AND WE'LL BE SEEING ABOUT YOU!!
If you don't like the forecast, just wait twenty minutes. It will change

They think the unemployment figures might persuade him. More helium to come! "We're in the money!"
I hope that you remember that Bill Clinton was elected largely to the effect that Greenspan's repeated interest tightenings had on the economy in the early 90's. George H looked unbeatable before the econmy went into the shitter.
Remember the mantra "It's the economy, Stupid"?

That being the sobriquet 'crime family'. Pray tell, what were the crimes you refer to and just how do they stack up against warrantless wiretapping (admitted by GWB), the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqi civilians in the illegal occupation of their country based on an invasion fueled by lies (the lies part admitted to by Colin Powell and others, the rest follows), the funnelling of money to friends of the family (Dicks way of saying 'thank you' for the $32M exit bonus from Halliburton) and on and on and on - please, enlighten me, but do try to avoid the ones that remain fantasies like Vince Foster and the BS abotu Mina.
of the Republican Party.
We therefore demand you immediately cease and desist use of this and all related terminology, or we will fuck you up.
I know better than to push my luck with a guy named Flee.
ahm outta yo jurisdiction now!
Not to discount the effect that Ross Perot had(which was considerable) Georg H would have won in a landslide if the econmy hadn't tanked, and Greenspan's heavy handedness, was the main culprit.
if pigs had wings, they'd fly.
Is that your dipchit way of disputing what I just said? Or does your post have some other type of meaning?
