Last I checked, Don Chaney isn't the Vice President. <BR/><BR/>Jai, I want you to explain something to me. Bill Clinton was loved by all, was a great steward of the economy and was a brilliant political mind, yet lost both houses of congress for the first time in 40 years and was replaced by a Republican. Bush is an idiot who lied us into a war and hates the American people, yet managed to extend the majority in both houses of congress and got re-elected with the first popular majority since 1988. How is this possible?<BR/><BR/>Keep nominating arrogant jack-offs like Gore, Kerry, Clark and Hillary. It's really working. You really have a finger on the pulse of the electorate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11956370.post-1138383081000014882006-01-27T11:31:00.000-06:002006-01-27T11:31:00.000-06:00I would hate to let facts get in the way of your b...I would hate to let facts get in the way of your brilliant response (Clark/Feingold '08 is comical--they may be the first two out of the primary--and playing with the first letter of my name is sophomoric). <BR/><BR/>Still, I am an educator at heart. Nero, of course, did not play an instrument while Rome burned. The closest thing to a "fiddle" didn't exist until roughly 1,000 years after the fire.<BR/><BR/>Your other vague, empty comparisons also lack any factual basis. For facts, google this: USATODAY.com - Troops in survey back Bush 4-to-1 over Kerry.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy Clark's really-real State of the Union.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11956370.post-1138382563190851232006-01-27T11:22:00.000-06:002006-01-27T11:22:00.000-06:00Hey Jai - I think it was actually you who spelled ...Hey Jai - I think it was actually you who spelled your name wrong. Throw in a "G" as in Geoff and a Greek "i" (which is a "y" - I thought I would help you out since you clearly know nothing of classical languages or history) and you would be more aptly named. <BR/><BR/>And your post shows exactly why the Democrats have lost complete touch with reality. Your #1 ticket pairs a former Republican military man with no message, no money and no inspiration (other than the blind pursuit of power) with a man whose agenda is to expand federal powers at a time when polls clearly show that the electorate is disgusted with the size of government and budget deficits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11956370.post-1138353455910317452006-01-27T03:17:00.000-06:002006-01-27T03:17:00.000-06:00Hey Denis (hope you typed the first letter right)....Hey Denis (hope you typed the first letter right). Set down your glass of koolade and look at the photo of Bush strummin' his guit-tar with Katrina mere hours from landfall. Must have left "My Pet Goat" back in the van.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, there are marked similarities. Except maybe Nero cared more for the welfare of his people. And for sure his troops.<BR/><BR/>Wes Clark is the man. Not to worry--he's got the polish and the message. Burning up Texas today, stumping for Bob Gammage. And will be giving the definitive "Real State of the Union" address on Jan 30th for Steve Clemons' New America Foundation--don't miss that one.<BR/>http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/001204.php<BR/><BR/>Now if Clark can just scrape up the cash and hire the staff, we'll have us a horserace.<BR/><BR/>I like Feingold too, by the way. But I don't think a twice divorced and still single Jew (and I say that as a card-carryin' MOTT) has much chance of picking up any red states.<BR/><BR/>Clark/Feingold might just be the winning combination.

Comparing them reveals your ignorance of both Roman History and contemporary US politics (hint: Nero and Oath of Office shouldn't be in the same sentence).<BR/><BR/>While I'm here: How can a "worst first year of a term" include having two excellent Supreme Court Justices appointed, an elected government in Iraq (read that one slowly, it is extremely impressive) and an economy with only a .9% unemployment rate above the natural level?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
