Huh it seems that you are licking you chops at the prospect of a Dean or Gephardt presidency. Either you are as Lenin put it a "useful idiot" or just a plain idiot working from the bowels of the DNC. BTW, your alls mutual admiratition doom and gloom society for the last 50 replies or so, was amusing and yet kinda of sad, seeing that the world will always have chicken little glass half emptiers, such as yourself. Thank God Ronald Reagan was a glass half fuller.

Not quite I'm afraid. Unlike his father, who to be honest I never really cared for that much to begin with, I actually happen to really like this President Bush and desperately want to see him get re-elected and the Republicans keep and expand power. I don't agree with him on every issue, but I remember what eight years of Clinton did to this country, and I have absolutely no desire to see that happen again.

Truth be told, I'm probably more conservative than you are. The difference between you and me isn't a matter of optimism vs. pessimism. It's that I vividly remember '92 and the lessons learned from that disaster. You've chosen to shut it out of your mind and pretend that it never happened, or at least to believe that this President is bulletproof and that history could never repeat itself. Unfortunately, there's a lot of arrogant, paternalistic, out of touch Republicans who think the way you do, which I suppose is why we'll always be the "stupid party".

Yep so do I. It seems that you got caught up in the Cravillian mantra of the worst economy in 50 years, when that wasn't the case, the Carter economy was.

But what the hey, IMO, you and some of your comrades on this thread are trolling for people on FR to believe the old Carvillian ploy of 92.

Sheesh talk about re-treading.
