Everything is relative and Bush-Cheney is the lowest common denominator so unless they amend the constitution to allow for a 3rd term......things can only get better.
Hush before they think of it and dont be surprised if it isnt attempted or hasnt already been considered. Of course if that were to happen, I suspect this country might reelect Bill instead.
Yea, he was no picnic either but.......
I'd much rather have a man who lies about sex in office (be realistic, what man hasn't lied about sex), than a man who has lied regarding war motives and its accompanying "proof", lied regarding interrogation tactics employed (I would have more respect for the man if he would just come out and say, "Hell yes, we tortured them and by God, we are going to keep doing it until they spill the damn beans or die!!"), spied on the American public through warrantless survellience, is now trying to change/modify the Geneva convention to make certain "methods" of interrogation legal (mainly to cover his ass under the guise of "we need these methods for information gathering"), whose friends (and family) have profited immensely from rising oil prices (a known outcome of the war), defense contracts awarded to other friends and/or companies of friends (not to mention the Veep), whose associates either directly or indirectly blew the cover for a CIA operative (dont stick your head in the sand and pretend that you just dont see), and who, in the eyes of many (not mine), stole his initial election to office anyway and countless loads of other known reasons (I am afraid to consider the unknown).
What I hate even more is the "fair and balanced" news employed by certain obvious right-wing conservatives who would have had Clinton drawn and quartered over oral sex, and yet......where is the "fair and balanced" reporting against Bush?? And yet their whole premise was ...."HE LIED ABOUT IT, SO HE MUST BE IMPEACHED". Why are these same people not screaming for Bush to be castrated as well?? (Maybe they are, but I dont hear it). All I hear now is....you gotta support your president and the war on terror. Yada Yada Yada. Nonsense. While I certainly support the War on Terror in principle......nothing should allow us, as Americans, to stoop to the tactics he has used, no matter what the pretext.
I swear, I told my ex-wife (a staunch Republican and Clinton hater) that I felt Bush could turn out to be the anti-Christ even before we had attacked in Iraq. Oh, that was a fight to remember for the ages!!
I wonder how she feels now.......
