    That’s a line that the ‘BoTH SidES ArE tHe SAme’ crowd loves to use.

    Clinton had no control of Congress in 1996. It was a Bill the GOP wanted and was going to pass with or without Clinton. Reagan started gutting the FCC and Bush Sr. kept it up

    It’s like saying the caboose is what killed the guy who got hit by a train.

      The President can veto Congress per Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. So Slick Willy could have nixed this and chose not to.

      The “Two Party” system wants the same thing. Control.

        And explain in detail exactly how Clinton could have singlehandedly turned back the clock to the days before cable TV and the internet.

        I’m glad people are finally starting to see the BoTh SIdes aRE tHe SAme line actually helps the GOP.
