Speak for yourself. Dubya is an idiot. John McCain should be

If he is such an 'idiot' and McCain is so smart...then how come the 'idiot'
is the President?

Oh, I know. The Republicans stole the election, right?

Lets not even go down that street again.

What about Wesley Clark?

Wesley Clark reminds me of Admiral Stockdale.

I don't trust him. He seems to have problems keeping his stories
straight.

I worked for Senator McCains dad, Admiral John McCain II, when he was
CincPAC and John III was a guest at the Hanoi Hilton. Later I worked for
Capt Dick Stratton, a fellow 'guest' in Hanoi, and met John III on a
couple
of occasions. Him, I trust.

Fair enough!

Well I don't trust a man that can't figure out what party he is in.

McCain is a Republican in name only.

McCain failed. He got captured.

I really question everyone calling that scenario a hero, and
definitely not Commander-in-Chief material.

I disagree with that comment Brian. He didn't fail. The government failed
him by forcing the pilots to fly the pocket. No deviation. No way to not
get hit. It was stupid. All McCain did was follow orders.

Getting caught..?!?! perhaps not.

The "Commander-in-Chief" material comes from the strength of
character it took to not fold to interrogator's deamnds, to have not
lost faith with his comrades, and that he came home alive despite the
ordeal.

Yes...John McCain is an American Hero. Several times over...

And MY respect for the current Commander-in-Chief comes from the
fact that, wether you agree with him or not, when he's in the news,
it's about the business of the nation...Not who he's "doing" on the
sly or what nefarious deals his spouse is engaged in.

Had Billary stood up to the first accusations against him
(protesting the Viet Nam war while in England) and said, "Yes, I
protested the war. It was my right to do so as a citizen", even the
most right-wing Hawks would have had to give him credit as being
truthful. He didn't...he tried to lie his way out of it and was
proven to be a liar. Every SUBSEQUENT accusation that erupted also
had the opportunity for him to "stand up" and be counted, but he tried
to lie his way out of those, too.

Our present Commander-in-Chief may not be the smoothest orator or
do everything "right", but I have far greater respect for a man who
can try, fail, and admit to it than one who tries to lie his way out
of his actions.

Steve, K4YZ

Exactly....if that Klintoon Klown would have showed a bit of back bone, and
slapped the crap out of Hillary he would have earned my respect.

I remember how he treated the military....and how the vets turned their
backs on him at Arlington. Etc. Etc.

Now we have a man in charge. Not perfect, but a man none the less.

GW's Dad is the authentic article. His son doesn't measure up to the

Perhaps. But he is much closer to the mark than Clinton.

Or Gore, or Hillary, or ....etc.

How is this country "wrecked", compared to how things used to be?

but there are still a few people who give a damn about America, and GW
is one of them.

There are lots of others, including many who disagree with Mr. Bush.

It's the methods, not the person.






Well, I'm a foreigner in your country, but you can't deny that the economy
boomed under Clinton and is now on it's knees.

I'm not fond of the present government, but mainly for other reasons.
Civil liberties and John Ashcroft, mostly.

All in all, I can't really think of anything GW Bush has done domestically
that is anything to shout about. Tax cuts for the rich. Deficit spending.
I'm really trying to think of anything good (honestly), but nothing comes
to mind.

As for the war, why open that can of worms? Yes, Saddam is/was a very bad
guy. Do I beleive the reasons given for going to war? No. And yes, Blair
went along with it, but I don't like him a lot either.

... but then I'm an anti-code test liberal, so what did you expect?

However, I actually do think it was a nice gesture for Dubbya to go to
Baghdad for Thanksgiving.

I'm sure this post will draw the usual 'love it or leave it' garbage from
at least someone, but never mind. I can take it.

The economy was taking a downturn BEFORE Clinton got out of office. The
economic policy of the Clinton presidency was what ??? Right, there was
none. He was riding on the coat tails of Reagan/Bush one.

Has everyone forgotten about 9/11? We are at war. Or has that little
detail been forgotten also?

It was not our choice to have some ragheads plow three jets into buildings,
and one into the ground and kill nearly 3000 innocents. Some of which were
MUSLIM.

But it is our choice how to respond. If you think Sadam didn't have
anything to do with it. Let me sell you a bridge in NYC.

He's a living example of the Lowest Common Denominator -= no class

Two wrongs don't make a right. Clinton was a bozo. GW is a bozo.
I wish that we could have voted "none of thr above" both times.

As my overseas friends say "is this the best that you could come up

Lovely country, eh?

Of course the other side of the coin is where the voters get fed up
with paying for what they expect the state and local governments to
give them and enact a cap on property tax increases which also
includes a provision that when a property changes hands out of the
immediate family it is assessed at the sale price. California calls
this Proposition 13 and Oregon calls it Measure 5. We got whacked
when my family bought a house in California before the provision
went in but after the cut-off date when the assessments were
"referenced back". For 10 years we lived in a house that was
identical in size, age, and condition to the house next door, and we
paid twice as much taxes as they did.

Lovely country. eh ? You're so right.
