Hawkmoon, what goes around comes around.

I watched the Religious Right Wing waste the country's time with a vicious, relentless attack against Clinton since they were obviously incapable of any productive ideas for the nation. I've watched the Right Wing blowhards slimebag war heros like Max Cleland, or anybody else with military experience who doesn't fall in lock step with their stupid ideas, and I don't need to mention what a creep Rove is, do I ?

>>>Having a born again recovered alcoholic president

Well, I'm hardly in a position to know, but presumably Bush has been a "tee-totaler" for many years now.

When's the last time you had a beer?

Maybe you'd could do with a bit of "christian humility" yourself, rather than playing Mr. "holier than thou" in your comments.

Alcoholism is a terrible disease and I'm very supportive of those who have been able to stay "on the wagon"..


This isn't the issue and you know it.

We make people in many professions pee in a paper cup before allowing them on the job. I'd think that the presidency of the US is far more critical than nearly any of these jobs, and have every right to demand a president who was born right the first time. Bush would never have gotten where he is without nepotism, and any fool with a correctly irrigated brain can see this. To have a president of the US proffer inanities about "catapulting the propaganda", and how it would be easier if it was a dictatorship, it boggles the mind frankly. Whether this is due to drinking in the past or not really doesn't matter.

I'm simply not willing to cut Bush any slack any more.

As for all this Al Qaeda stuff, I can't fathom why we didn't put massive military presence in Afghanistan and finish the job there. Before we blundered into Iraq and demonstrated otherwise, people were talking about what a hegemony the USA was. If we really wanted send the world a clear message, the way to have done it would have been to leave Afghanistan squeaky clean, with every warlord exterminated or sent back where they came from. It would have been feasible and would have left no doubt in anyone's mind about the risks one takes to pull a 9/11 with us. Very likely we could have gotten solid leads on the location of bin Laden and his other top henchmen.

But no, not Bush and his lunatic backers.
