Before the weekly "military accidents", before the "restoring character" from hateful hypocrites, before "the joining in unity" from these "screw-em" yo-yos in this cursed White House, there was the National Partnership for Reinventing Government

ERR.......I JUST HATE TO MENTION THIS BUT......there were a few people from the GOP (about 99.9% of them) SCREAMING for this for 40 years. This was one reason I was hoping that nothing would happen to the last President. He moved into the space between the GOP and Dems and took up some of our very sensible positions (with a little prodding from the 1994 election results and the Eyes of Newt).

We are also grateful for the following which I suspect lead to the 'early retirement' of a space waster named erringChild.

Cut government the right way by eliminating what wasn’t needed – bloated headquarters, layers of managers, outdated field offices, obsolete red tape and rules. For example, cut 78,000 managers governmentwide and some layers by late 1999.

Charles, Am I dreaming or did you just say something positive about Clinton? Yes he was kinda forced into the center which was good, unfortunatly we are now experiencing an extreme in one direction which will cause a mass rebound into the other again~~~

You just won't miss a chance to jab at Bush, willya Cherri......

no matter how flimsy the grounds.

That smacks of prejudice; not reason.

(Am I the only one to notice that)

Well then why didn't they? Maybe time some actually tried to take the definition of Conservatism and matched it with reality.

Course you will have to get past all the BS they have spent untold millions driving into your noodle that anyone not spewing the words of the PIGBOY is EVIL, anti-American, anti-Family, and anti- everything holy.

Well ‘doc’, it would appear that your procedure did not have the desired result. My condolences to your family.

Oh what a shame,,,apparently the npr.gov website has gone bye-bye.

I will entertain legitimate reasons for its demise, but I will not hold my breath.
