Ya know, it really makes me wonder what's really going on in the smoky backrooms of real power in our nations capital when I see such apparent diametrically opposed forces taking joy rides together and apparently enjoying each others company. Makes me wonder if there are real differences between both party's candidates, or if it's all an elaborately staged, carefully choreographed WWF wrestling match, just to keep the masses entertained...(adjusting tinfoil hat now).

No tin foil needed for that thought!

I can't decide if this "buddy-buddy" business makes me disgusted, or concerned, or both...I do most uncharitably loath the Clintons, but it still seems to me the Bushes would be better off treating the Clintons with a rather icy politeness, all things considered. What kind of game are they playing here?!

And speaking of...Billy Graham, LOL!! I only know his reputation as a great evangelist and "friend of all Presidents", but his background seems kind of interesting from the few facts I heard the other day...he probably invited Billy Jeff up there on stage just to make sure he drew a good crowd for his "final mission", and he could hardly not invite PIAPS (pink this time...yech!!)!

(no offense intended to any Rev. Graham fans here...I'm sure he does good work, although I would be interested in your take on his Clinton career comments...what was he thinking?!)

I may have to put on my hat along with you because, after recently watching more hours of C-Span 2 than I probably should have, I do not understand how these Senators can give such heated arguments against fellow Senators one minute and are then best buddies the next.

I've been wearing mine for a while now. I think it looks good on me.

That's not tinfoil at all, it's just fact. Of course there are those on both sides of the aisle that will tell their party faithful it matters who they vote for. Even here you see the 'faithful' railing about Bush I spending time with Clinton. Suffice it to say over at DU they're doing the exact opposite.

The problem is that those who are upset refuse to see the leadership of both parties is cut from the same cloth and believe the same things. They just play to the citizens of the respective states as if they cared. May as well give all 535 political hacks (Rep. Ron Paul excluded) some scripts and it would be exactly like WWE.
