running country retirement
Socialist countries throughout the world love to lower retirement ages to make people prematurely dependent on the government. But we should move in the opposite direction. In the long run, indexing retirement to life expectancy will yield enormous revenues to the system, far more than a one-shot increase in the age in the current legislative cycle.
running men years
The last man to try to run for president advocating a tax increase was Walter Mondale. He lost 49 states in 1984, and the "I'll raise your taxes" reputation haunted him all the way to Minnesota last year, where he lost his 50th state in the Senate election.
running issues people
Nothing works on the campaign trail like attacks on candidates for bad attendance. It alienates people on both sides of every issue and reflects a callous disregard of the work of the people. The feeble argument that "I'm running for president" isn't much of a rebuttal: George W. Bush finds time to be president, and he's running too.
running keys political
The key to running a campaign on the cheap is to avoid spending money on anything other than projecting a message.
running white political
The White House will run itself while the president is away. That's why he has to be sure not to be away too much.
running cutting opposites
With a congressional mandate to run the deficit up as high as need be, there is no reason to raise taxes now and risk aggravating the depression. Instead, Obama will follow the opposite of the Reagan strategy. Reagan cut taxes and increased the deficit so that liberals could not increase spending. Obama will raise spending and increase the deficit so that conservatives cannot cut taxes. And, when the economy is restored, he will raise taxes with impunity, since the only people who will have to pay them would be rich Republicans.

The real question, ... is would she refuse to run if millions of Americans cast votes for her and she appeared to be on the way to winning the nomination?

In direct and indirect ways, ... Clinton sent messages to the Saudi monarchy: If you want to help me, you'll increase oil production and hold down prices.
advance agenda aim bush candidate choose divide impunity incredibly kerry listen people questions striking taking united virtually voters whenever
In an incredibly striking contrast, Bush voters are united on virtually all the questions that divide the Kerry vote. So, Bush can advance his agenda with impunity while taking aim at Kerry voters who are antagonized by their candidate whenever he has to choose a position. If Kerry can get people to listen and think, Bush is toast.
fortunate guy president respond time
Man, is that guy fortunate! Fortunate to be able to be president at a time when he CAN respond without violating his principles.
ideas political voters
There is literally no such thing as an idea that cannot be expressed well and articulately to today's voters in thirty seconds.
politics misguided worst
More and more, the Democrats are not merely inconsistent, wrong and/or misguided - they are the worst of all possible things you can be in Washington: irrelevant.
political agendas sides
Yes' is a far more potent word than 'no' in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say.
I love Karl Rove. He elected Bush.
