It might be simply that Clinton is the last
obstacle to a complete monopoly of power
for the Repubs.  If we get a 60% R Congress,
you will see a flat tax, Soc Sec privatization,
Medicaid turned into a block grant (ending the
entitlement), abolition of taxes on capital
gains and estates, and much else that you
don't see now.

P.S.  JFK was laid as well as anyone and
his policies were not commensurate with
his accomplishments below the waist.
