Which Bush are you referring to?

Both.

Duh.

It's sickening to think that under our current system, candidates like Romney, Obama, Bush, Gore, Kerry & McCain are the best we can do.

Let it be noted that you did not add your nemisis Bill Clinton to this list.

You are on the trail of a true human being. This is good to see.

[Hacksaw]

I try not to think of the Clintons. But they certainly belong on that list. Every time I hear "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton" I don't know whether to puke or laugh. Ol' Slick Willy was a joke. He should kiss Newt Gingrich's ass every day for keeping him from being a forgettable one-termer.

How was that?

[Jungle Rat]

Clinton was the best President since Ronnie.

Cold, like the approaching winter. Perhaps you are not on the right trail after all.

Washte.

[Hacksaw]

I'm on the Reality Trail. You should try it sometime.

[Jungle Rat]

If you're on it, I'll take the sane one.

Clinton was the best President since Ronnie.

True dat. He signed the last - and what may be the last - balanced budget in US history. A true fiscal conservative's hero. He belongs on Mt. Rushmore.

[Professor Tiger]

Man Made Global Warming is a monumental hoax, a massive fraud, a widespread charade, a notorious flim-flam, a colossal con-job, and an outrageous scam.

I'd vote for him. In fact, I'd choose him over anyone in the current R field.

But I wouldn't let him babysit my underage nieces.

[Jungle Rat]

Nor would.I. But dam! My checkbook was fat back then.

[Professor Tiger]

The Clintonian Golden Age is sadly over. Nowadays, if your checkbook is fat, the Dem's are coming after you. They hate anybody with fat checkbooks except for unions and Hollywood.

[Jungle Rat]

No they don't. They just yearn for the days that losing a Presidency doesn't mean 4years of bitterness.

[Hacksaw]

Clinton signed what Newt sent him. And neither of them ever predicted the budgets they were passing would balance themselves out -- much less result in surpluses. The reason for that had nothing to do with either of them. Neither deserves credit for the unprecedented economic growth that happened as a result of Y2k and the dot.com boom. The tax revenues that were generated far exceeded all projections. It was a pleasant surprise for everyone. The good times were a result of a flash in the pan that was driven by technology and private enterprise, not sound economic planning by the government.

Anyone who continues to think of Clinton as a great POTUS because of the budget surpluses that happened on his watch might as well go ahead and give him credit for the sun coming up in the morning, too.
