I saw this as well and thought it was hilarious. In addition to advocating the repeal of Glass-Steagall, he championed the deregulation of the telecommunications industry as well, which has had disastrous effects on employment and the quality/diversity of programming available to the public.

Didnt want to get into the 'kickbacks" he took to do whatever big business wanted

Which is exclusive to Democrats

That's why I get so damn frustrated with the political system.

Clinton says we need to stay with Obama's plan.

Hello, it isn't working. Or does he have a "secret plan to fight inflation?" (At least Obama hasn't been as stupid at John Kerry 8 years ago. "I have a plan, but why should I tell you it?" was an AWESOME line during a sit down interview. Way to strike up confidence in the voter base!)

Also cracks me up when people buy into the Democrats not being rich, and that they are for "the working class."

Neither party is for the working class. You honestly think people like Obama/Pelosi/Kennedy/Quinn/Durbin don't have their own Swiss bank accounts and tax shelters? Those who think people like Michael Moore, Arianna Huffington, Robert Redford and Sean Penn don't take steps to hold onto their money?

Of course they do.

I don't have faith in any of them. But at least the Dems GENERALLY vote against their own self interest when it comes to taxes.

People who get mad about Congress having time off are usually the same people who get mad that their congressmen become Washington Insiders and lose touch with the people they're supposed to represent. Maybe we should just run the federal legislature over skype.

And that's the thing. Do you REALLY think those Senators and Representatives are actually spending those 5 weeks going around to hear from their constituents?

The more time those cocksuckers take off the less they can fuck things up. I say a permanent vacation for the whole lot of 'em.

There is no way on Gods green Earth that Bill Clinton really believes that we should stick with Barry's plan. No way.

For the record, Clinton is alright by me, & I certainly prospered during his Presidency. Barry is no Bill.

No. Newt would actually sit down and negotiate with Bill. I'd love to see that from Mitch and Boehner,.

Republicans were also the main architects of the deregulation craze of the mid-to-late 90s.

Would they need to negotiate with Clinton because Obama is either campaigning, fundraising or golfing at the moment?

Yeah...that's a new phenomenon. The golfing reference is a bit dated though. So Mr. Reason, any thoughts on the big $ in politics that force this endless campaigning?
