WASHINGTON, July 28 (UPI) -- When President Franklin Roosevelt, a member of one of the most wealthy and prominent families in America, was constructing the New Deal, which brought forth the Securities and Exchange Commission, strong banking regulation and labor protections, he was excoriated as a traitor to his class. Even one his own family members wrote him to complain.

I didn't say he was sleazy.. My issues don't revolve around his personal integrity and in fact I defend him on this point.

Laz didn't call him "sleazy" either.

What was said (several times now) was that:

Meaning, in simple terms, that Clinton WAS sleazy and by electing Bush we collectively threw the sleaze OUT.

Meaning, in simple terms, ....

That you want you to call Bush a sleaze. Go ahead. I can disagree with a man and not call him a sleaze.

No, no, no.. You couldn't be more wrong.

What was said was that not being sleazy (as Clinton was) is one of Dubya's strong points. It's why people who had some differences with him on the issues voted for him anyway.

No one called hm a sleaze.

Dubya is NOT a sleaze like Clinton and we respect that.

We "de-sleazed" ourselves when Clinton left, because Bush is not a "sleaze"

There, does that make more sense to you now?

If you still don't get it then we will just have to not agree.

I cannot say it any more plainly than I did in the above post.

Yeah, so, they need work. I ask you again: How is Bush sleazy?

Your reading-comprehension skills are lacking inasmuch as I said precisely the opposite.

Hope that helps.

Okay, WhiteKnuckles, you must be doing this on purpose, or as some sort of joke.

No one can be this obtuse.

Please point to that opinion out on this thread. I missed that.

Good Lord, what an abject whine-fest this thread is. We're at war.

RIGHT! AND ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES ANYTHING WHATSOEVER ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH IS IN LEAGUE WITH THE TERRORISTS AND SHOULD BE KILLED AS A TRAITOR!

OOO-RAH!
