I know what you mean. Clinton didn't really register to me, either way. I thought he was some two-bit hustler type (and it turns out I was right, ha), and I underestimated how far he would go. But I disliked Bush Sr, there I said it again, (though I did vote for him in 1988). I was a stupid kid, what can I say: I voted for Perot. I am what G. Gordon Liddy called The 43 Percent. "Oh, ye suckers!"
Letterman Top 3 list on strategery behind SC nomination:
#3 Bush wanted to keep up with the majority opinions from the liberal perspective.
#2 Bush wishes to get his nomination through the Senate and not expend political capital, and glide into his 2nd term..."oops, I can't run again"....hey I meant that.
#1 I'll nominate a conservive with my 3rd SC pick in my 3rd term.
#-1 I have a secret plan to outfox the Dems, with a stealthy candidate who is really a conservative. Malkin,
Crystal, Limbaugh, Levin, Ingraham...there just all part of the plan. (See my secret plan on giving amnesty to the illegal immigration.)
I voted for Poppy too. No way was I going to vote for the huckster. Before klintoon I was pretty much an Independent. Voted for Nixon, voted for Carter (Ouch, don't hit me, I thought he was a Christian). Voted for Reagan. But when the toon slithered onto the scene, I registered as a Republican.
