[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4264590, member: 24302"] Bill Clinton didn't move Democrats to the right. He co-opted the Right's message in order to win the '96 election. And it was his Republican campaign consultant, Dick Morris, who got him to do it. And compare Abraham Lincoln's economic policies in 1864, or Barry Goldwater's in 1964, with today's Republicans. Pretty similar. Republicans were the party of civil rights, not Democrats. Democrats co-opted that message too, but if you look at their accomplishments over the last 60 years, they made a lot of promises to get votes, but didn't eliminate poverty and education is in a shambles in many places. But they are very good about pointing fingers and lying about opponents. [/QUOTE]
