Talk:Jim Sasser

Untitled

Gore Sr. wasn't much of a suppoter of Civil Rights, his and his son's assertions to the contrary. He didn't vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlquall (talk • contribs) 20:31, 10 August 2004 (UTC)

As I recall Gore Sr. helped filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 64. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.33.83.221 (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Chinese?

Why the Chinese version of his name? 64.122.95.110 19:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Sasser served as US ambassador to China at one point, so I guess it's in line with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.102.234 (talk) 22:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

NPOV

I came here to learn the background of this gentleman, and find the following line in second para:

"Hooker, of course, has since become a somewhat laughable perennial candidate and gadfly (social). "

Says who? I've deleted this line as it is presumptive and hardly NPOV, and so I flagged this whole artice as NPOV. I cannot read this article without questioning almost every statement, but I don't have the knowledge to fix it.

More examples in question:

The phrase "his (intermittent) wealth" is not cited or explained.

"At this time, Sasser seemed to be one of the Democratic party's brighter Senate stars," says who? Again this is not NPOV.

"Another factor in Frist's favor was that Sasser was never seen as possessing much charisma of his own." Please!

This whole article really needs an NPOV makeover!

Senate Accomplishments

The portion of the Accomplishments section shown below is problematic. Budget bills are good for one year only, by law, so no budget can do anything over ten years.

"And in 1993, he engineered passage of President Bill Clinton's first budget, which reduced the deficit by $500 billion dollars over 10 years, but passed without any Republican votes."

I think the revision below is warranted.

While the terminology of "budget" may be in question, Congress and the President can agree to make spending cuts over a period of time, and the intention of the passage is completely accurate. I added the following references to the article:

Clinton and House Democrats Agree On Spending Cuts, but Ante Is Raised, the New York Times.

Clinton to Cut Spending Further, the Washington Post. ThompsonJ54 (talk) 16:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
