Let me remind you that the only US president of the 20th century that was forced to resign his position was a Republican. And the only president of the United States to be impeached in the 20th century was a Democrat. Tim

Ted Re... Oh yeah, did I fail to mention he was a Republican? Did I also fail to mention that empirically I have found Reps. to be the most mean, underhanded, dishonest mothafukkers on the planet who give squat about what the people want? <<<<<<<<< You do realize that these type of general I hate all republicans seems to quantify you as the biggest profiler on this board. Why do you feel that such statements help your cause. Especially when the person who you say doesn't give squat about the people, has an approval rating that is the highest ever. How is this campaign any smarter than your GW is stupid campaign? After all, you do admit that GW was smart enough to stay away from ENE, when they asked for help. Which is far smarter than can be said of McAuliff and Global Crossing.

Did I also fail to mention that empirically I have found Reps. to be the most mean, underhanded, dishonest mothafukkers on the planet who give squat about what the people want? This idea that government should deliver "what the people want" is precisely what made Clinton, Carter, and LBJ the worst presidents in modern times. Clinton couldn't go take a leak without Dick Morris' advice. Why? Because his primary interest was in giving the public "what the people want" to insure his election or that of his liberal successor. This is the difference between a great leader, like Bush (either of them, actually) or a Teddy Roosevelt, and a total screw up like Clinton. A great leader will take actions, whether popular or not, with the understanding of the greater good to be served. While Clinton often took unpopular actions, they were ALWAYS followed with trying to undo the mistake. So you get Don't Ask-Don't Tell; you get MonicaGate; you get PardonGate; you get ensuing years of trying to develop a legacy where there is none. Are Republicans mean, dirty, underhanded. Hardly. Not when compared to a sorry schmuck like Terry McAuliffe, or Dick Gephardt, or Tom Dacschle, the man in charge of obstruction. Frankly, the current crop of Democrats are laughable. They have totally put party politics ahead of the nation's interest. I believe the public will skewer them for it, too.
