Killed in House - " compassionate conservatism "

Providence Journal columnist Froma Harrop pointed out in

    her last column that the Republican controlled Congress defied the clear

    mandate for restraint on the impeachment issue - the message of the boss, THE

    PEOPLE - in the November election.

            The House Republicans also ignored the winds of change in the

    party : Texas governor Bush's talk about a new COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM.

    They killed that idea when they voted to impeach the president of the

    United States , Bill Clinton - still very popular and more so after that

    viciously partisan and vengeful vote.

           We will not hear anymore about " compassionate conservatism " in

    the next presidential campaign. Now it sounds to much like " communism

    with a human face " written on the Berlin Wall. An iron curtain separates

    the Republican soul from ordinary humanity.

           The impeachment vote can be seen as the Last Hurrah of the failed


    " Gingrich  Revolution ".
