A Observation so far on the two Conventions
 
What is more telling is when the Democrats screw up its at 3:00 pm in the afternoon and when the Republican screw up its during Prime time when everyone's watching.  Here is my observation on the two Conventions If how each party runs each Convention is an Indication of how they will run the country. Well there is just no comparison which party is better to be in charge or control of the Federal Government. Like  Bill Clinton said let's take a look at how each party has fared over the last  52 years. kentay.   

Clinton Said: We Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think "we're all in this together" is a better philosophy than "you're on your own."

Who's right? Well, since 1961, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs. What's the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million. Bill Clinton

You a little off base.  I grant your point about a strong middle class but I will say that is both both parties goal.  The problem is the differing philosophies ON HOW TO ACHEIVE THAT.  Clinton, JFK, and Reagan had the strongest economic presidencies.  And they shared a common philosophy.  Sensible tax systems that don't remove money from a struggling economy AND keeping spending at a lower percentage of GDP than we have now.

Fun question for you Kentay; which party held congress during 6 of the 8 years Clinton was in office?

Fun question for you Ted; which party held congress and supreme Court and all the levers of power, during 6 of the 8 years W. Bush was in office. When he took us into two unpaid wars of choice and the worst recession since the Hoover years?  Is Clinton right about the job the two political parties creation? The Democrats Created more jobs in less time; and just think about it Democrats didn't have to sell their collective souls to the so called Job creators. It kind of makes the Republican mantra on job creators, just more Republican political BS. kentay

I again would like to point out JFK, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton who worked with Gingrich.  I suggest that you study what they said.  Particularly what Clinton said about raising taxes just in the previous year.

Republicans held congress for those years and they deserve much of the blame for current conditions.  The bigger question is; were those Republicans acting conservatively?  I say no.

GW Bush and company rolled out some big spending:

Two wars
No child left behind.
Sarbanes-Oxley
Dept of Homeland Security
Medicare Part D

To name a few.  But I contend that most of these aren't conservative ideas, they're liberal ideas.  GW Bush was a liberal in conservative clothing.

On a side note those who claim Bush deregulated wall street and the financial sector will see the only bill he signed pertaining wall street.

Bush Regulators looked the other way during W. Bush failed  Stewardship and also during the Reagan Stewardship when he was to sick with alzheimer's to know what was going on. It's got to be a conservative thing because the collapses only happen during  when Republicans are in charge and we keep repeating the same type of failures. . Kentay

So GOVERNMENT regulators did a poor job.  What a surprise.  Stop the presses.

No Ted, you just don't get it.  Bush did this!  His mere presence corrupted every federal worker!  When Clinton was in office every federal employee was johnny-on-the-spot and put in long hours every day working to make America a wonderful place for people and bunny rabbits.  Everything was perfect because Clinton hung a D after his name.  But on January 20th, 2001 at the exact moment the evil doctor Bush took the oath the whole country went bad.  Every single federal employee instantly didn't care about his job anymore.  You just don't get it Ted.  When you're a federal worker, every little task and every little thing you do is directed by the president!
