Morris is not a Republican, yutz. He was Clinton's campaign manager
and pollster in Arkansas and in his first administration (not that he
has any love for Hillary). Apparently you are that gullible, but don't
get a vote.

Regardless of the fact that his career highlight was as Clinton's |
campaign manager, Morris has always been a mercenary with a generally
conservative bent. He's handled substantially more Republican
candidates than Democrates, which was the reason for all the concern
when Clinton first picked him over proven winners like Bob Shrum.
After the prostitute scandal a few years back Morris pulled hard right
trying to regain some credibility. He and the Clintons haven't had a
nice word to say about each other for a good long while now. |

It's the standard dysfunction syndrome - don't acknowledge reality until
it takes you all the way down.
Unfortunately, this time, there are millions of people who are going to
get taken down right along with them.
Unless, of course, they should happen to clue up.
Good Luck!

Jockeying between the courts and the other two branches of this
government is continual. It's by design, actually. To my taste, the
courts have been too accommodating in this respect; nobody should be
held without due process of law. I'm surprised the courts haven't
insisted on this.

It's so hilly here, I'd mostly be pushing the bike. But my
made-in-Mexico VW doesn't use much gas, it's a 4-mile scenic drive,
and gas is still dirt-cheap here. Three, actually, since I walk the
last mile for exercize. I spend a lot more on car insurance than I
spend on gas. Actually, it's a company car so I don't spend anything
on either, but you get my point.

What's interesting to me is that people do tend to get more
conservative as they get older, concurrent with their concerns
shifting from themselves to their kids and grandkids. Old liberals
tend to be childless. One of the important demographics in the US is
that liberals aren't breeding.

IIRR there was an academic study that found that people don't get more
conservative as they get older - they actually tend to stick to same
political opinions all their lives. In times past society as a whole
was more conservative, so the elderly did tend to be more conservative
than young people, but this may be a passing phase.
Is your comment about the correlation between average number of
children and political opinion another one of these
folk-misconceptions, or can you point to real evidence?
