Sounds nice in books or as slogans but only if it can be backed up with data. Size of govt grew the highest during past Dubya 8 years. Defecit grew highest during these Dubya 8 years and Reagan 8 years. Every statistical indicator is contrary to the GOP talking points. The bailout of Wall St was the final slap oon face of the failed ideology.
There's absolutely no denying of the facts here.

Capitalism/Marxism or this-that<i>ism</i> are all good in theory. We have seen the excess of each when it comes to practical world.
A balanced approach is need for any administration in any country.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Clinton era brought 9/11, dot com bust, HMO, death of manufacturing industry (NAFTA). His era did long term damage. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
9/11 happened on Bush watch when clearly a month before Bush had daily breifings on this and he and Rice overlooked it - refer to the 911 commission records on this. If you want to turn the clock to Clinton era, why not go back a bit more and see who actually funded these people in 80s. On HMOs - they have been in existence prior to '92. Death of manufacturing - happening since 80s, walk into South Carolina and check as to when their textile industry died.
A lot of 90s has to do with globalization which Clinton (or any president) could not have prevented as it was a global phenomenon.

I'd qualify it with Indian Leftists in US. They are very active in college campus and have been instrumental in running India/Indians down. They will be emboldended with a Obama-Pelosi-Reid administration.
Might not be a bad to wake up the sleeping majority who's been pretty complacent about their deeds/activities lately. Some here will get what I'm saying.
