Doesn't matter, because he gave a nice speech saying he supported it. Walking the walk doesn't mean if you can't first talk the talk tbh.
the reluctance of Texas Governor Ann Richards;[14] and President Bill Clinton's initial lack of support for a project begun during the administrations of Richards's predecessor, Bill Clements, and Clinton's predecessors, Ronald Reagan and George H. W.
I see you missed this part in your wiki cite.

Not to boutons. Gfy.
Still pisses me off; that mother er would have found the Higgs Boson more than a decade ago. But instead of being the center of the scientific world Texas is the center of the jeebo creationist world now.
Perry would've probably insisted on a sonogram first anyway.
Next up: The EPA. Nixon was secretly a Democrat.
Since we're discussing good thing the Repugs have done in the last 40 years, how about Daddy Bush's handling of the Berlin Wall? HW helped Gorbachev tiptoe that line that kept the hardliner Communists from kicking him out of power and returning the USSR to its Stalinist roots. If Gorbachev falls, no way the Berlin Wall comes down without a shot being fired.
Nixon would get primaried and defeated.Next up: The EPA. Nixon was secretly a Democrat.
Nixon, when Repugs were still more or less center-right, moderate, actually did or proposed a lot of great bills, policies, regulations. yes, like EPA, OSHA, even proposed UNIVERSAL health insurance or something very similar.
So you've got to go back FIFTY ING YEARS to find something the Repugs did for the 99%?
Then the VRWC got organized in the early/mid 70s, and pulled the Repugs extremely to the right, and has ed America every which way since then.
Got any thing else, say from 1980 when VRWC got their useful idiot St Ronnie elected by sabotaging the Iranian hostage situation?
see, I slap ya, and ya got nothing but smileys.
I see you ignored Baselinebumbecause he didnt say what yiu wanted to hear
lol ignoring the SSC because
here's one description that doesn't fit your pro-Repug revisionism:
In a December 1989 summit between Bush and Gorbachev in Malta, the two leaders discussed arms reductions and strengthening their relations. At a summit in Washington, D.C., in June 1990, the two men signed a broad arms reduction agreement in which the United States and Soviet Union consented to decreasing their nuclear arsenals. Bush and his secretary of state, James Baker, worked hard to establish a meaningful relationship with Gorbachev and Eduard Shevardnadze, the Soviet foreign minister. By most accounts, they were very successful in redefining relations with the Soviet Union in a post-Cold War environment. In July 1991, Bush met Gorbachev in Moscow and signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, known as START.
When Gorbachev's opponents attempted a coup to oust him from power the next month, the Bush administration waited anxiously for the outcome. The coup failed, and Gorbachev resumed his position but the Soviet Union was in evident decline. Throughout the fall, the Soviet Republics began to declare their independence from the Soviet Union, and in December, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus announced they were forming a new confederation of states. Gorbachev resigned as the President of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991.

"after Russian President Boris Yeltsin gave an address from atop a tank outside the White House denouncing the coup, a large number of Muscovites marched on the parliament and formed a barricade between the building and the tanks, sparking a two-day stand-off which culminated in the military backing down."

seems like the failure of the coup was a Russo-Russian internal affair. It wasn't Pappy Bush standing on top of that tank.
So scratch "Bush saved Gorby's ass" as something the Repugs did for the 99%.
MA is a blue state, and not a Repug state.
Romney's narrow plan in reaction to the Dem legislature's various projects was vastly modified, expanded. The Repug NATIONAL party and its hate/kil-govt policies had nothing to with MA health care reform, and wants to kill Obamacare (and medicare and medicaid).
Got any other bull for me to knockdown?
i think its re ed to say "open minded" and "repug" in the same post tbh
I'm waiting while you right-wing heads Show Me The Repugs doing anything for the 99% in the past 35, 40 years.
I've ed slapped the couple of VERY OLD items so far.
Nixon's policies were pretty much the end of moderate Republicanism, are HATED by today's Repugs as much as they HATE FDR and the 1960s.
Nixon recruited the Confederate racist Dems to the Repugs, which essentially drove the Repugs to today's extreme anti-(northern)-govt ideology, Christian anti-science bull and Christian theocratic fantasies.
Still waiting for all the wonderful stuff the "modern" Repugs/VRWC have done for the 99% these last 40 years of the VRWC organized ascendance.
i like how depending on who i talk to on this forum... i have ranged from "right-wing head" to " got liberal"
Critical thought is not boutons strong suit.
Last time I checked, Romney was a Republucan. , meet slap.
lol simpleton.
MA health care project came up from the Dem legislature and other MA orgs, was not initiated by Bishop Gecko. MA health care was NEVER endorsed or used as an example by Repug national leadership who saw it, see it as government overreach. MA health care was NEVER a reason Bishop Gecko made it through to Repug candidacy.
And of course you ignore the REAL REPUG objectives of destroying ACA, Medicare, SS.
Got anything else, ?
Your laughable obfuscation aside, Romney signed it. He backed it. He got credit for it. Suck it, .
Auto industry bailout ring a bell?
Yeah, that was Bush's initially.
Now go find a moonbat blog to tell you it wasn't.
Or will you move the goal posts again to actions within the last 30 minutes?
Is it really this difficult to find a Republican initiated policy change that benefitted more than 1% over the last 40 years? Valid points TB (Romneycare and the GM bailout), but it seems this task should be a little easier. Or are you just conditioning your responses to policy BD will accept as sufficiently progressive?
Who said it was difficult? It's actually quite easy. Its impossible to provide a response sufficiently progressive enough for boutons. He is poisoned by his pre-existing narrative. My next softball would've been TARP.Is it really this difficult to find a Republican initiated policy change that benefitted more than 1% over the last 40 years? Valid points TB (Romneycare and the GM bailout
So the origin of three major policies that are now firmly attached to Obama are your best examples of Republican policy change for the 99% since Nixon? Seems odd, but ok.
