Republican candidates wasting their time
Editor:
"There he goes again," Al Gore that is. Seven years ago and three years ago, he promised to save Medicare, Medicaid, education and the environment. To date, his administration hasn't delivered on a single promise. Now he is pandering to labor unions, teacher unions, minority groups, and senior citizens with the same old promises. He fails to acknowledge the positive effect that the Republican "Contract With America" had on our continuing prosperity.
The Republican candidates are wasting their time in promising tax cuts as their major campaign issue. There is nothing wrong with reviewing all of the proposals made by the presidential candidates, (what convinced the voters to vote for each candidate) and adopting the best solutions as their own. The authors have no copyrights in their ideas and they are in the public domain.
For example, Al Gore's seven-year promise to protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, (Hillary's health care reform), Bill Bradley's health insurance proposal and John McCain's campaign finance reform, combined with George W. Bush's tax relief, additional funds for quality education, and welfare reform, all combined would truly be "Compassionate Conservatism."
