Given the fullness of time, who would you vote for today?
Same now as then. Bush.
My decision was correct then, and it's still correct now, even though Bush did a lot of subsequent things to make me wish I had never supported him in the first place.
Clinton was human garbage. Bush was a doofus, but he was still better than human garbage. Much bad stuff would not have happened had Bush won instead of that piece of sh*t Bill Clinton.
This.
1992 was the year that I came to the conclusion that the media “news” services were deliberately manipulating elections. All i’ve learned since merely reinforces that initial conclusion.
No, I took no offense. I just noted that I’d used an exactly similar observation for said joke.
I told the joke. You didn’t. I’m hardly in a good place to be offended.
Oops, my bad!
I mistook which comment that was to!
I wasn’t offended by your actual post either.
Just reminiscing about my own attitude at the time. Sorry I wasn’t clear.
Remember John Anderson? He ran against Reagan in 80, and got plenty of votes to turn any election since 1984 - but in 1980, he ended up being a footnote in Reagans landslide.
I suppose in person this would be the time we'd buy each other a beer and laugh it up some. :)
1st: “the fullness of time” reminds me of a Rush tune, ‘The Garden’ ...”The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned; In the fullness of time; A garden to nurture and protect” ...
2nd: I voted for Perot, PARTLY to help secure a desperately needed job with a dentist who turned out to be a whack job; but also because I liked his style and I didn’t like Bush at all. AT THE TIME, not knowing much about anything yet, I thought Clinton would be ok. He was young and had a good vibe.
Yeah, right. ....
Why would anyone vote for the guy who played pure spoiler and gave the WH to the Dems?
I suppose because he stood against NAFTA.
Perot only ran to stop Bush, whom he hated. He was a Clinton stooge that go Slick Willy elected.
Yup.
Thats my story as well.
All that "Can I finish? Can I finish? Will ya let me finish?" stuff convinced me the guy wasn't serious.
