That's an interesting way of making your point, but let's stay in the non-fiction section. Hillary Clinton is real. The threat of her becoming President of the United States is real. If that is your choice (and make no mistake - that IS what you're choosing if you vote third party) and you're comfortable with it, have at it.

As for me, I will fight with everything I have to see that those of you who want to hang Bush over this thing don't take the rest of us down with you.

"As for me, I will fight with everything I have to see that those of you who want to hang Bush over this thing don't take the rest of us down with you."

This in itself is enough to shatter any notion that Bush has any respect for Constitutional freedoms. But if you've been paying attention for the last year, you'll see that he's done more to harm our country than trailer-trash Clinton ever could, because Clinton was watched. For instance, Bush has moved us into the enforcement stage of School-To-Work, and people don't even care, since he pats Laura on the *ss.

Bush is not my leader; he's my employee. He has a very well-defined job description, and that's the only thing he is to be graded on.

To clarify, Bush is making centralized control and manipulation of Americans respectable. Look at the "USA Freedom Korps." The rat-on-your-neighbor "Citizen Korps." School-To-Work. His "Faith-based Initiatives" are just centralized manipulation and redistribution of religious charitable endeavors [and look behind who's idea the whole "Faith-Based Initiatives"]. Look at the "USA PATRIOT ACT," which authorizes federal agents to snoop through your private effects without even notifying you, among other invasions of privacy. Bush is getting a free pass from most "conservatives," because he's not a low-class tramp like Clinton or Gore. It's not enough to say that he's not Clinton. LOTS of people are not Clinton. If we're not to grade him by his adherence to his Constitutional duties, then what else should he be graded on?
