OT.....Re: Gore's toast...
I agree with your observations Slider, but you seem to be not using the "honest dispassionate observer skills" that you have shown so well with your commentary about the stock market in your assesment of the presidential race...
Bush sold a load of crap tonight as well. Believe me, I was pulling for him, but he just babbled "Trust me, I'm a leader in Texas" and did not show much grasp of the details. A truly Reaganesque "nice guy in a suit" image.
IT WILL "SELL IN PREORIA", but, be honest, he spread a lot of bullshit in response to a number of questions he was asked. Always polite, always nice, always the image of a man who can get people to work together, but his image is one of someone who would be great getting people to organize a church fund-raiser, not of one to moderate the major disputes of a superpower.
However, he has my vote and my support. I am not voting "against" Gore, but "FOR" GW. Besides my core libertarian/Republican philosophical leanings, my reasoning can be summed up in one word:
MATURITY
Do you want an arrogant man-child who would STILL get beat up in the school yard TODAY as an ADULT? (because he is such a "arrogant priss". Or, do you want someone who constantly needs to prove his superiority (pay particularly close attention here "certain poster(s)"...y'all know who you are) Or do you want someone willing to let slights and jabs and boorish behavior slide on by (no pun intended) and behave in a civilized professional manner, as GW did tonight?
Its MATURITY people!!!!!!!...... (notice I didn't say "stupid"...I think this phrase was started by a democratic campaigner...Carville was it? and I detest the mean spiritedness of it)
Who would you rather let negotiate world conflicts and get good people to run the country? Someone who's pride forces them to always show they are right? Or someone mature enough to recognize that there is more to the world than EGO GRATIFICATION!!!!!!!!??????
I am so SICK OF THIS ARROGANT EGO-CENTRIC ME FIRST BATCH OF SPOILED YUPPIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!
Ok, I feel better now..........................
