Voters Will Likely Reject GOP Again

* I grew up in an area of the nation where local government had both Democrats and Republicans governing cooperatively, a concept that has created our great nation.

Allow me to therefore help the majority of people in Orange County who seem to be flabbergasted by recent national poll results.

Seventy percent approve of the president and only 30% approve of the Republican Party because people have been more concerned about Dow Jones than Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky.

The Republican Party has failed to govern cooperatively and in good spirit, but rather has chosen to exercise radical confrontational political behavior.

The first radical action was forcing the shutdown of the government. Now it’s the single-party, lynching-style impeachment of a popular president who happens to be presiding over the most prosperous times in our nation’s history.

President Clinton’s impeachment has been obviously more about a party that would do anything to discredit a president of the opposing party that has been getting credit for prosperous times.

Fortunately, the public is fed up with the radical behavior exhibited by the Republican Party. This was demonstrated by the recent nationwide election results and will likely happen again in the year 2000.
