I think it is natural for men to be skeptical, especially well-informed FReepers.
And yes, some on this site get their hopes up beyond the actual outcome of things.
I won’t speak for anyone but myself, however, over the years I believed:
—Bush 1 would easily defeat the Leftist punk Clinton, just like he beat Dukakis.
—Bob Dole would beat the communist Clinton.
—Clinton would be Impeached AND convicted.
—Bush 2 would handedly win.
—The Muslims wouldn’t dare attack our homeland.
—We would find and destroy Saddam’s WMDs.
—We would make a Western Democracy out of Iraq.
—We would get 60 GOP Senators in 2006.
—McCain and SARAH would beat the Muslim Obama.
—The USSC would declare Obamacare unconstitutional.
—Romney would beat the Muslim communist Obama.
—No way would the Europeans let half of the Muslim world settle in their towns and cities.
—Trump would schlong Hillary (about right on that one).
Haha. Babylon. It’s a wonder any of us can see any positivity and hope after all that disappointment, isn’t it?
I didn't realize you were about as human as we are!
Too soon old; too late smart.
