Buyers' remorse? Nasty poll numbers for Bush

Bush's 1st term was filled with corruption scandals (Enron & California oil crisis, Halliburton & Iraq war, etc), too; but the Democrats had found more important things to stress in their campaign... such as homosexual marriage (go figure), raising taxes (but hey, only for "the rich"!) and whining about a war where just barely 1k US troops had died.

Can I have some of what you're smoking?

The Dems, not wanting to give the GOP anything to beat them up with, didn't mention homosexual marriage at all, talked about "tax fairness" rather than taxing the rich, and talked -- quite accurately -- about how the administration had gone into Iraq without adequate planning and without an exit strategy.

The GOP, however, was brilliant (as usual) at putting words in the Dems' mouths -- and, apparently, yours.

I agree with Theben, but your characterization of the last campaign is lazy, sloppy, and false.

Don't make Hilary President. That would just be tragic.

Why? I'm no Hilary supporter, but I can't imagine a single thing that President Hilary would do that could be worse that GOP business-as-usual, especially at present.

What's she going to do? Re-balance the budget? Tax the rich? Defend the theory of evolution? Only fight wars we can win? Make corporate polluters clean up after themselves?

Ooo, scary stuff, kids.

Bush opposes homosexuals - Hillary opposes video games.



Sandman is right.

That's right, "So?"

WTF can the president do about video games?

Tipper Gore spent 8 years with White House access. Did you notice that music getting appreciably more wholesome between 1993 and 2001? Yeah, me neither.

Hilary hates video games. Bush loves country music. They're both loathesome opinions, but it's got f*ck-all to do with being POTUS.

Well, as a Senator, Hillary certainly made a fuss over GTA.

[Sandman]

I'm sure her policies are fine. Well, apart from her naive attitude to games.

I just can't stand political dynasties.

I don't think this counts as a dynasty, Sandman. She's not Bill's daughter after all.

Yup. But did she do anything about it? Her, not the craven corporation that makes the game? Thought not.
