(5,621 posts)compared to who came after him. Bill Clinton screwed the pooch, and apparently everyone else. His policies started this downward spiral. The ONLY reason that we had prosperity under him was because of the Internet. If the Internet hadn't happened he would have been considered a failure. And, this is coming from someone who voted for him twice.
Jimmy Carter was my dream candidate, I voted for him twice. If he had been allowed to stay in power, no telling what this country would look like or be like. But, the Republicans cut a deal with the Iranians so Reagan would get in, and here we are.
The third way Democrats are even more to the right than Eisenhower, and he was a moderate Republican. People look at politicians and think they are all corrupt, and most of them are. You look at them and how many are millionaires, and became millionaires after they got in office. It doesn't matter now, if they are Democrat or Republican, the majority of our representatives are bought.
