Thus the Dole version of tax cuts is likely to be something closer to supply-side lite.

Republicans are starting to make a similar argument about Clinton and what a second term would...
...success of Cracked Rear View was credited to five main reasons--good timing, great music, and marketing, marketing, marketing. The strategy also depended to a great degree on VH1.

...Records Canada and released her first album, Alanis. That CD and its 1992 follow-up Now Is the Time consisted mostly of Paula Abdul-esque melodies and merciless drum machines--the kind of soulless pop one might play during an aerobic workout on the Love Boat. During this pop-lite phase, Morissette also opened for pseudo-rapper Vanilla Ice in a 1991 concert and appeared with Brat Packish actor Corey Haim in the 1993 Fox-TV comedy Just One of the Girls...
