Sorry, JD, but from my perspective policies have a huge impact. Especially when you broaden your horizons to include all topics, such as the environment. In environmental law, when confronted with any compliance issue a client has, I look to the latest EPA guidance and policy documents (EPA being controlled by the President). The same is true in any area where there is a large amount of regulatory oversight.

My understanding of the Groj's post is he was talking about the election, Policies haven't had much of an impact on the election process in years. Look at what is said: "He Lied", "Flip-Flop", "AWOL", "Tratior", etc. during the campaign.
Now Policies have all the impact on how the winner governs, but in the election season, NO way. Look at either side and what is said. Being a conserve I can tell you that during the 2000 election it was said that the Republican wanted to poison the air and water! Now think about that statement, truely think about it. If that was a policy, that the repubilcans wanted to poison the air and water, what would republicans breath and drink? Do not republicans breath and drink the same air and water that the Dems. do? The statment is not a policy statment it is an emotional statement meant to scare people. Lordy we do the same thing but from our point of view.
