Mad Dog, I can accept anyone being cynical about the federal government as a whole. I have known newly elected members of Congress who went to Washington with fire in their bellies, and reform on their lips. After a few months inside "the loop", they sunk to the same "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours" policy as everybody else around there. I must say that Reagan was a different kind of President, that refused to fall into that trap and moved on his own initiative as much as Congress would allow him to do so. I, also, feel that Bush, though he may not be as great as Reagan, can, and will, stay away from the "politics as usual" routine. He didn't come up as easily as a lot of people think he did, and doesn't owe any particular favors among the Washington elite. Be that as it may, I still believe that he will be the much better choice than gore. From what I have seen, heard, and the gut feeling I get, there is no way I could ever trust anything gore says, or does. ~H~
