I'm not saying that at all.

Clinton was quite far from being a superstar.

But yet he was still better than Bush ever was/is. As the question has been asked so many times - do you seriously think we're better off now than when we were during the Clinton administration?

I know my family's financial system has changed a hell of a lot, that's for sure. I might have been young during it, but I remember quite well.

I'm no economics expert - quite far from it. Yet I'm able to see how my life and my family's life has been changed in this administration.
I think we are living in a different world. One that has paid the price for the dismantling of our intelligence agencies and decades of ignoring corruption. Do you think corporate scandals like Enron, Adelphia, and Tyco just magically appeared when Bush took office?

Whenever I hear the "Clinton left us a surplus" remarks all I can think of is this.

It looks great from a distance, but in truth there was a real storm brewing.

Again, the GOP contributed as well. But there are lots of people lining up to point blame at one party. You'd (not you specifically) have to be a complete idiot to buy that. People are being taken for a ride. And frankly I'm getting tired of hearing it
Well hey, if Rabin was never murdered...you never know what could have happened.

Well, I'll give into this one Kmar. As I've said, I'm not an economics master and I'm not going to pretend I am indeed one.

However, I'm also not blaming one party for this. Don't think I am for one second. I'm no democrat and I'm certainly no republican.

Dewd it's the ME. We know what's going to happen. The best we can ever hope for is getting the hell out of there permanently. .. let's stop trying to make deals over 4000 year old blood feuds.

It's not giving in (lol). I just want everyone to look at the POS representitives on both sides.. which you have apparently agreed with. We are the ultimate in accountability. Let's make sure no one get's a pass .

Rabin was the closest we'd come to peace though. We also never thought we'd make peace with the Japanese with the way they were...look at us now. Even though I hate Japanese games.

Buuuut that's another topic for another time.

I certainly don't. Congress, as a whole, sucks. I even told my mother (who's a pretty strict democrat) to not vote "incumbent" no matter what. Surprisingly enough, she agreed!

Everyone's feeling the hurt from this. It blows. My dad (who sells medical/OR tools FWIW)'s business is on the decline. It really blows.

Did he NOT just fucking VOTE ON THE BILL? He didn't go to Washington because it WASN'T NECESSARY. McCain went for a PHOTO OP and to LOOK GOOD TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. And apparentely, he failed miserably. Nevada, Ohio and Florida are now polling blue.

Good job there, old man McCain.
Polls don't matter.  Didn't all the major news networks during the Bush d. Kerry election spew shit for exit polls?  I really don't buy stock into them.  O"bah"ma!

I guess we just don't share the same respect for the process of American civics.  But that would take some kind of knowledge into the process, which you like O"bah"ma obviously lack.

And those are only a few of the many articles I can provide. Apparentely, just about everyone can see through what McCain was doing. But not you.

OBAMA isn't the President.  He's a Senator.....  Fish in a fucking barrel man...

Poseidon wrote:

I'm sorry to say this, but you're a sheep, my friend. He doesn't respect shit. The ONLY reason he went is to try and win over votes so he could try to make the American public think he was actually caring. People saw through it, and he's slipping farther and farther downwards into the depths of the polls. Even the GOP strategists are saying that unless Obama's hit with a political meteor in the next week - McCain has a slim chance of winning.
Says the O"bah"ma chanter.... McCain has served our country longer that you've been alive.  Bash away.


Poseidon wrote:

Whatever you want to believe. You probably think McCain has Christian family values as well. I'm sure you're one of the same people who thinks he doesn't respect America due to the fact that a chain e-mail made a picture look as if he didn't hold his hand over his heart during the pledge?
You presume and hate.  Actually I have a Major in Sociology with minor in Poly Sci from FSU.  I can form my own opinions based on what I observe.  And it is weak shit from dems.  You have nothing, just like Obama.  You have been sold a packaged and well advertised "Back street Boy" of politics.  Its kinda sad to watch, and if he's elected we'll pay... Just watch the debate tomorrow night.

Yea, our country of just over a couple hundred years and that little skirmish we had with the Japanese isn't even close to the History of the ME. Nor was our hate based on doing the will of an intangible deity. Huge differences. Interesting enough the reconciliation between America/Japan was done solely by the parties involved. No third party mediator can ever force a local populace to get along. Not for long at least.

And yet when McCain was leading after the convention (shocker there!) everyone was shouting "IT'S OVER FOR OBAMA".

One way street I guess.

"Oh'bah'ma"? Yeesh, atleast get a better name if you're going to insult him.

Says the O"bah"ma chanter.... McCain has served our country longer that you've been alive.  Bash away.
What does that have to do with what I said whatsoever? It doesn't have to do with anything. Dodging questions and spinning them the way you want...sounds a lot like Palin. No wonder you think she'll win.

Congratulations. And I have common sense and can see the obvious, which apparentely you lack in.

I wouldn't support Obama if I didn't know his policies and agree with them, so don't try to act like I'm supporting him for no reason. 100% false. And hell, there's plenty of things when it comes to Obama that I disagree with. So don't even try to play that card.

If the ME isn't made into glass in the next 20 years, I guess we'll just have to see.

If we're all still alive that is. :S

McCain was a total ass to Obama though I'll give ya that.
If we're going to talk about treating the other guy with respect, I'll put forward something my Dem/lib wife noticed when the two referred to each other:

McCain: "Senator Obama" every single time

Obama: "John" 90+% of the time

CJR:Yes, Ifill (the Moderator) has a conflict of interest.

Conflict of interest is often about appearances. There appears, to us, to be a conflict in Ifill moderating tomorrow night’s vice presidential debate. Here’s why:

    - Ifill’s upcoming book is called “The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.” It, apparently, “surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obama’s stunning presidential campaign and introducing the emerging young African American politicians [like Newark Mayor Corey Booker and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick] forging a bold new path to political power.”

    - The book apparently will be published on January 20th, 2009, Inauguration Day.

    - It stands to reason that a book with such a title would sell better if a certain person is inaugurated on that day.
She should have at least told the commission about her book.. which she didn't.
The host of PBS’ “Washington Week” and senior correspondent on “The NewsHour” said she did not tell the Commission on Presidential Debates about the book. The commission had no immediate comment when contacted by The Associated Press. A spokeswoman for John McCain’s campaign did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages.
I look at this way though.. She is going to have to be overtly unbiased now that the cat's out of the bag. The moderator in the last debate did an excellent job imo. Hopefully she will carry it on into the VP debate.
