I do look at each individual situation and try not to generalize..... Again, you need to show me where I made statements on the current administration and their unconvicted crimes.....

This thread is still "going-strong" Goodie It is, sadly , a telling commentary on our current regime-BushCo.

today there are many true patriots, who served, have owned businesses, raised families and celebrated the fourth of july without fail who are plum disgusted with bush and his works, for good reason. let us not demean these folks, who are so representitive of the voting populus.


You hit on a good point - it is important to evaluate politicians performances on an objective basis as opposed to a party political-allegiance basis.

It's not simply a matter of political allegiance for me, because I blame also many of the Dems in Congress for the current state of affairs as much as the Repigs. Many of those who voted for the Iraq invasion, the sham 9/11 Commission, "Patriot" Act, gutting of the tax base through corporate welfare & giveaways, the enormous national debt, ad infinitum/ad nauseum...are Dems.

This includes Clinton for instigating the NAFTA and GATT treaties, among other things.

However, the Dem's erstwhile complicity in these matters pales in comparison to the Repig's largely illegal and treasonous agenda that we've witnessed since Jan. 2001.
