Ok, this is going to seem a bit like a Devil's Advocate kind of thing. I've been trying to stay WAY away from politics lately as everything you say about ANYTHING political will glean you 50% great new friends and 50% great new enemies. Pretty scary for most of us. If it was a matter of having the chance to get 1 new friend a day but HAVE to incur one new enemy at the same rate, I think I'd say, "that's ok, I'll keep the friends I have, MUCH rather have one less friend than one more enemy" cause who in the world wants HALF the world hating you to your green-livered guts?

Okay I went off the subject but has-been writers tend to do these things after getting hooked up with kick grass Seattle's Best Coffee today. It also helps to be a card-carrying Manic Depressive.

But off my mental state and back to politics.

I mean, anybody who knows me might as well know I'm an unapologetic Clintonite -- Hillary Clinton and even Loose Zippered Bill I love unabashedly, the Scum. I mean, can't you keep your hands off women a MOMENT? Show some control!

Geez, at LEAST for the good of the nation, whaddaya think Rhodes Scholar? 4 years, Olive Oil Pants. Just four cruddy years you could have PRETENDED to not emulate our dear JFK to the point of his legendary non-wifely conquests -- couldn't you have pretended total devotion to Hillary for just four years? I mean, it's embarrassing to have a great prez in every other way IN CONTROL OF PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE WORLD who can't control himself. It doesn't take too long for even the densest of us to connect THOSE dots, Billy Boy.

But no, we had to be treated to a wasted YEAR contemplating Monica Cigar Crap instead of the fact we have billionnaire Outlaws mounting armies against us. Armies willing to DIE just to kil us.

Damn, except for some fatal flaws the two of you (you and Kennedy) were the best real leaders, real PRESIDENTS, in every other way, (though I confess to a love/deep dislike relationship with Dubya) and I gotta say I loved the way both you two led this country way too long ago, except for the lack of control thing. And that IS a big thing.

Anyway, back to the fact I think he did a damn good job and I also like Al Franken and Saturday Night Live.

But with all of this 60's Kid that I am shouting out to turn back to America. I'm a little miffed at our "Where did those WOMD's go" President Bush the Second.

And not miffed.

Miffed that I still feel cheated from seeing if GORE could have done it. I do admit I'm not sure if he would have handled things as well as Bush did after 9/11. I have to say I love Bush for how he helped be a very strong backbone for us in 9/11.

AND -- AND, (and this is where my Clinton buddies Democrat friends may bash me -- I gotta say, if we are in a WAR with TERRORISTS EVERYWHERE, I CAN understand wanting to make sure that war is waged in a country other than our own. And though we lost a ton of money in the process that has the rest of us chewing leather and dying in the streets (is it just me or is my city getting a tad too much daily violence lately?)

Okay, I shot my caffeine-manic mouth off. Let the bashing begin, but please be kind. All respectful responses are welcomed.

"Miffed that I still feel cheated from seeing if GORE could have done it. I do admit I'm not sure if he would have handled things as well as Bush did after 9/11."

Purple Poppycock!!! Gore certainly could have done it and with dignity. We forget that more than half the voters in this country voted for the man, having had that much confidence in him. I seriously doubt that he would have decided that Iraq needed to be invaded because war scenes always make for good news coverage. And I doubt that he would have sold our environment down the dirty river quite as fast.

Uh Oh! I sure shouldn't have tried that new gourmet coffee (somebody gave me) this morning. I'll try to keep minor political based explosions to self rest of the morning, well, for a little while anyway.

Poop.... I was hoping, based on the title, for some controversy and an avenue for one of my diatribes... but I cannot find any controversial statements here... :sleep2:

Toad, I agree with 50% of what you say, therefore, if you want, I will be your friend, 50% of the time!!!


No, actually, I applaud you for voicing your opinion in such an eloquent way. You may want to run for office in the near future!! :cool2:

I keep looking for something to bash you about, toad, but I can't find anything. Except that I think Gore would have done a great job post-9/11. Just 'cause Dubya exceeded expectations and spoke in clear English and in complete sentences doesn't mean he's Churchill.

TEEEEEE HEEEEEE!!!! It is amazing that Bush can speak clearly once in a great while!
I love Gore, voted for him and I think he would have done a fantastic job!

Not throwing any [B]rotten tomatoes, but the war on terrorism will be and has always been with us. Making Sadam Hussein the target of all the evils of terrorism is misdirected energy.
Even if you captured every radical element, all the Osamas of the world, you would still have your Timothy McVeighs.
