Hoping that the President of the United States will "do a William Henry Harrison" [get sick and die just after taking office] might be covered under the First Amendment, but that has nothing to do with my comment to you.

You're confused, but I am not surprised at all. I'm not "you guys". I'm one person. I don't agree with every conservative opinion stated on this thread, and I don't disagree with every liberal opinion stated on some other thread. I didn't spend "the last 8 years attacking" Clinton. You can lump me in to your hallucination of "everybody who is against you" if you want; it's happened to me before, and I am sure it will happen to me again.

I wasn't talking to "you guys". I was talking to YOU, about what YOU put in your post.

You posted an incredibly mean-spirited remark about the President-elect of the United States on this thread. What you posted was mean. Hoping that GWB will get sick and die is just a mean thing to say. Getting mean and nasty is one way to try and win an argument. Some people don't feel the necessity to stoop to that level with anyone that does not agree with them on every single issue in politics. Some people actually AVOID that tactic. Some people use gutter tactics in a restrained manner and only with the most offensive foe. Some people even draw conclusions about the character of anyone that does use such sewer tactics to make broad, generalized statements about groups of people (such as African-Americans, gays, women, and so on).

I personally have no desire for ANYONE to get sick and die, because people who (for example) lie over and over (like while under oath, for example) and won't take responsibility for it end up digging their own graves without any help from me or anyone else. And even if I did want somebody to get sick and die, I wouldn't post it on the Internet. I personally feel that I would have to be a lying immoral jackass with something to hide to do that.

But that may not be you. That's just me.

P.S. George won the election. Sorry, but he won. He really actually won the election. Try again in four years.
