Scumbria: Gore is a much bigger idiot! He lost while many things going for him. Get over it, Scumbria. The man that played by the rules won and the one who didn't lost! Grant, the supposed drunken idiot, was a great general. He got the job done. Even after failing three times, he won by perserverence. Gore has not and did not get the job done. One of the original senators was thought to be an idiot. He didn't do anything. He apparently slept and snoozed the session away. What the other side did not know was that the acoustics of the chamber allowed that man to overhear everything that the opposing side planned around the desk on the other side. By not drawing attention to himself, keeping very quiet, he got a lot of work done for his side and and stopped a lot of the opposition plans. He was deemed an idiot Scumbria, but he was a very smart man. Being underestimated has many advantages. One forgets that until, one is outmanuvered with apparent ease. Remember the running gag between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. You get the opposition all in a flutter and they miss the obvious. Then they are presented with a fait accompli and now wonder what happened. You get everyone in a lather about a $1.3T tax cut and then pass a smaller $500B tax cut, where everyone thinks they have won when, that is what you wanted in the first place. Now, idiots spout idiotic lines and do nothing about it. Do you want to be called one? We see the public face. The real test is what gets done. There are four major things on the domestic plate, Reforming Social Security, Income Tax Cut, Reforming Medicare (-aid), and the National Debt. If he gets all four done within the first term, he will have accomplished more than twice as much as Clinton did in eight years. Let's see what happens in the next year. Pete
