The Clintons created a Party of No Ideas and warmed the Gipper's heart

Listening to the Clinton's new commercial falsly characterizing Obama as an advocate for conservative policies, one has to ask why the Clintons are tossing rocks while living in a GOP Glass House.

Other than having the 'nads to raise taxes at the beginning of Clinton 1's term, I'd like to hear what new ideas the Clintons were responsible for -- aside from co-opting the GOP Corporate CONservative agenda and warming the heart of The Gipper by advancing his agenda.

They drove through Bush's NAFTA and the "free market" agenda of "free-trade." They later crammed through the corporate wet dream of opening up China to sweatshop labor.

They helped the GOP throw poor people to the wolves -- and provided fresh meat for the cheap labor conservat6ives -- with Welfare Reform.

They presided over further deregulation, privatization and outsourcing of public services. They allowed mega-mergers to continue to form an Economy of Monopolization.

They endorsed the policies and helped to canonize that apostle of Milron Friedman and Ayn Rand, the wonderful Alan Greenspan.

They helped Rush and the GOp to to characterize liberals and progressives as the "out of touch left."

...and with a very heavy heart if forced into that position

Helping to create a one party country

Remember how Bill stood up to all those well funded and heartless Anti-School Uniform groups?
Man, he was relentless. A man on a mission.
Still brings a tear to my eye, remembering how he marched through Selma leading the nation's school children in a noble quest for khaki pants and blue oxford button downs.

The Dream Will Never Die!

Remember the no college loans for marijuana convictions?

However, the rest of this post is spot on. They did a good job of co-opting GOP ideas and turning them into Democratic ideas.

You're absolutely right about Greenspan. Most of the current economic mess can be lain at his feet. He kept interest rates artificially low and encouraged consumers to borrow, to cover up the fact that their wages were stagnating. Clinton should have fired his ass and put somebody else in there.

Obama has said several things that sound like he has been reading Gary Hart. His comments about the Republicans putting forth ideas are similar to Hart's comments from 2004:

Bill Clinton was and is a tactician for himself and his wife, not the pary as a whole.
