And this is why Granny said don’t discuss these, because we can come up with point and counter point into infinity. Yes, I did originally respond, I spent a lot of time looking around the net. Found a page called The Green Papers that actually *gasp* had all the numbers from the past election, including write in candidates for all the states. *kewl* Found out that Texas voted Republican, 59.3%. But because of a slow computer, I closed the window and lost everything I had typed. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img]
Now, like I said, I refuse to talk about abortion in any manner. period.
AHA! I found some things that give more specifics that Clinton did to improve the state of being! Here: [url=http://www.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/01/16/latimes.legacy/index.html]click here to go to site[/url]
I think this is a good article, it discusses over many of the subjects we’ve covered. So Johnny’s broken leg was taken care of! whew, how quickly times can change.
They talk about the Community Re-investment act, but who initiated that in the first place? They don’t really say in this article. Looking it up…Ah, was in 1977, re-regulated in 1995, so although Clinton didn’t originally legislate the concept, he did stiffen it up to be more effective.
The reason why I “hid behind the liberal media card” is because I’ve seen it up close and personal. I know how stories can get slashed from the way they were written, or how editors will fight to get what they want in, even if it wasn’t the reporters intention. It’s an ugly beast and very frustrating.
As to the credit card numbers, I heard it on the ‘ol boob tube. I thought they said the numbers were from ’96-’99 and the figures were provided by the credit card companies.
