It was Lott who blocked Clinton’s judicial appointments his last two years. Then, Daschle returned the favor until McConnell threatened the nuclear option in 2005. Isn’t historical revision grand? Gingrich gets his fair share of the blame, along with RW hate radio. Hillary getting involved in health care set the stage for 1994.
Some would say the cultural wars started with Nixon’s Southern Strategy. Others would blame that on the CRA. You and I have been able to see all of this division since the 1968 Chicago convention, though I’d say the USA has never really known a time in our history when we weren’t at each other’s throats, except when we were at war. Even then, we’ve been divided.
The Baby Boomers and older are handing the younger generations far too many deep, systemic problems. As for the next two years, each day will be will be like free fall without a parachute.
You mean Reid, not Daschle. 2004 was Daschle's last year. Reid replaced him.
