re: #74 Martinsmithy

Only in the fevered imaginations of wingnut world was Bill Clinton a “leftist” President. It should be noted that the 1993 vote on NAFTA was approved by the House of Representatives 234-200, and only 102 of the 258 Democrats in the House voted for it, while 132 of the 177 Republicans voted “aye.” Meanwhile, the Senate approved it 61-38, with 27 of the 57 Democrats in favor and 34 of the 43 Republicans. My source for these materials is the Wikipedia pages on NAFTA and the 103rd Congress

Given the way he shrunk the deficit Bill Clinton was far more “fiscally conservative” president than any recent Republican one.
