EDIT: Did you give that rec to bland?

I can't believe you got pictures. They wanted to send him to GitMo, didn't they?

How about asking nicely? What ever happened to the nice Bobby?

I'll never forget that photo. If Bush had been behind it instead of Clinton, he would have been ridden out of town on a rail, and then impeached and then, no doubt, convicted.

happened on Clinton's and Reno's watch.

The Elian affair got Bush elected in 2000.

Florida's election of Bush was a close one. Less that 1000 votes in favor of Bush.

The Elian affair caused many of the Cubans to vote for Bush instead of Gore. The effect was great enough that there is no doubt that Gore would have won Florida and the election had the Elian raid not taken place.

The picture made the impact even more pronounced.
