¶ … Bill Clinton try to re-frame the story of his extra-Marital affair during the 1992 campaign?
When Gennifer Flowers came forward in 1992 to claim she had an affair with Bill Clinton while he was Governor of Arkansas -- what Clinton's staff would term the first of several "bimbo eruptions" -- Clinton managed to reframe the story by immediately giving two interviews, with "60 Minutes" and The Washington Post. In both cases, Clinton insisted on being jointly interviewed with his wife Hillary. The implication seemed to be that, if this man's wife knew he was "a hard dog to keep on the porch" and could still forgive him, then his adultery was hardly a matter of great concern for voters.
What do we mean when we say that Americans are "fair-weather voters?"?
Fair-weather voters are only likely to turn up at the polls if the weather is good. Voting...
The notion could also be extended to various non-meteorological adverse conditions, where fair-weather voters won't bother to go to the polls if it entails a lot of driving or traffic or a long wait in line, and so on.
3. What has been the long-term effect of the "Southern Strategy" on the Republican Party?
The long-term effect of Nixon's "Southern Strategy" on the Republican Party has been to alienate the vast majority of African-American voters, while managing to enroll large numbers of white Southerners in a political party that first rose to prominence with Abraham Lincoln. This has also caused the Republicans to reflect the idiosyncratic concerns of white Southerners.
4. How would you have dealt with the First Amendment issues involved…
The U.S. Supreme Court (part of the judicial branch of the federal government) chose to hear Brown v. Board of Education because the case had been decided in favor of plaintiff in court, then was reversed upon appeal. The Court's chief interest was not in public school policy in Kansas per se, but rather in revisiting their own judicial precedent in Plessy v. Ferguson just over fifty years earlier -- the Plessy decision had stated that separate but equal treatment did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment. Presumably the chief impetus for the Court re-opening in 1953-4 the question of whether segregation was permitted by the Fourteenth Amendment was President Truman's executive order desegregating the armed forces, signed five years earlier in July 1948.
6. How did the Supreme Court determine the Constitution includes a right to privacy?
According to the Supreme Court, the Constitutional basis for the right to privacy is found in the First Amendment (freedom of assembly), the Fourth Amendment (protecting against unreasonable search and seizure), and the Ninth Amendment (guaranteeing unenumerated rights). This is why the
Rick Santorum's official campaign put out the next ad, entitled Obama Ville. It was released on March 23, 2012. It creates the image of empty American towns in 2 years, and uses very dark imagery and almost horror-genre like angst. The images of the residents of these towns are cast in dark shadows, and with depressing old infrastructure. This advertisement is painting the picture that in the next 2 years
" According to Short, Williams, and Christie (1976; cited by Van Den Hooff, Groot & De Jonge, 2005), Social Presence Theory notes that "communication media differ in the degree to which they can communicate (or simulate) the social presence of the communication partners through the use of social cues (both verbal and nonverbal cues)." This theory purports that if a medium can only communicate limited social cues, communication partners do

Jesus' Teachings, Prayer, & Christian Life "He (Jesus) Took the Bread. Giving Thanks Broke it. And gave it to his Disciples, saying, 'This is my Body, which is given to you.'" At Elevation time, during Catholic Mass, the priest establishes a mandate for Christian Living. Historically, at the Last Supper, Christ used bread and wine as a supreme metaphor for the rest of our lives. Jesus was in turmoil. He was
..In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or wife." (Smith, 2004; p.5) Smith relates that a
So who is an American and what an America can or cannot do are questions which are critical to the issue of legalizing immigrants. Does being an American mean you cannot show allegiance to any other country? The images of people raising and waving Mexican flag had enraged many but it need not have. It should be accepted that people who come from different countries would forever hold in their
