He came to speak at an area high school on the campaign trail and she had coffee with him. She gave him the two thumbs up and said he was cute.

You'll get no argument from me that Reagan was a lot more astute than W though.

Honestly, I think that Republicans are only very slightly better. If you want a stable social society, we must elect leaders who we can look up to. I don't look up to George Bush, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Feinstein, Kennedy (pick one), etc. Is there a politician that you really look up to? One that really holds your values. I don't have one, the only one I ever did look up to passed away last year.nicnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850200569173974141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11585641.post-1117656608460679042005-06-01T16:10:00.000-04:002005-06-01T16:10:00.000-04:00Oh, it's the fault of the Democrats!

Second, I never said abortion is a preferred method of birth control. Third, Clinton is not my personal hero. I liked his policies, and you forget (purposely no doubt), that a majority of Americans did too. Fourth, you are assuming that all public schools are failures, which is not the truth. There are many good ones, and many bad, as I tell you all the time. As for handouts, the welfare rolls are not up as far as I know. We had welfare reform that many Republicans and some Democrats created, Clinton signed, and it seems to be working. <BR/><BR/>I figured you'd try to make this the fault of Democrats somehow, like every other ill in the world. So predictable. Murder happens everywhere and in every age of civilization. It's hard for me to buy that Democrats are the reason for this most recent run.Erik Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200161330427377798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11585641.post-1117638236925543382005-06-01T11:03:00.000-04:002005-06-01T11:03:00.000-04:00It's a few cases of screwed up families that clear...<B><I>It's a few cases of screwed up families that clearly did not bother to teach their kids not to kill people. You can't blame that on politics or anything else besides that and be taken seriously.</B></I><BR/><BR/>Why can't I put some of the blame on politics? Do social handouts not foster an environment of parental irresponsibility? Does our permissive stance on violence, agression, and sexuality in the mass media not perpetuate these negative behaviors? As you advocate this attitude of social irresponsibility (gay marriage is OK, murdering the unborn is a method of birth control, poor performance in the public schools is almost the norm), do you expect anything else as a result? If you want social change is begins by electing leaders with actual values. If you elect sex-crazed leaders who lie and cheat their way through their own repugnant existence, you should fully expect them to forward their unethical agenda. The Democratic hero is a man who stood firm in his "right" to have sex with subordinates, coerce them into lying on his behalf, commit adultery, and cover it up by lying under oath. We are reaping what we have sown.nicnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850200569173974141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11585641.post-1117584300941735202005-05-31T20:05:00.000-04:002005-05-31T20:05:00.000-04:00Ummm, thanks, I think!
