46. LOL
often, in the hinterlands of dark and deep hitherto unknown movements of political operatives, things cross , things come together, and there is an acknowledgement that the guy at the other end of the transaction wants the same thing as you: to WIN.

This simple fact contibutes much to the Clintonistas behavior. It's the ultimate irony of partisan politics; to defeat your partisan enemy you end up working with a partisan enemy, no questions asked.

Now you tell me in the world where the right wing shit throwers desperate to protect the remnants of the 1994 "conservative" victory intersects with the Clintonista world desperate to protect the remnants of the 1992 "I don't know what the hell we were" victory, you're not going to see some overlap?

It's the height of naivete to think that those that object to "Clintonism" (for lack of a better term) as an organization wouldn't share a tiny bit of the same view from outside of this monolith, even though it's from opposite sides.

Oh and lets not discount the many stealth freepers posting here to cause trouble.

But generally speaking, from the perspective of someone who worked for Clinton-Gore '92 and '96, as things changed, and they always do, certain elements remained mired in the whole framework of "what worked" back then, which was accumulation of power and the willingness to use it against all who made the enemies list. Usually this was the other side, but not always. Meanwhile, in my opinion the best and brightest left and moved on as the flawed partisan warfare strategy disaffected a majority of Americans, who have no wish to view 49% of their fellow Americans as the "enemy" any more, but rather have a desire to FIX THIS COUNTRY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
